George, my heart still can’t believe that you are gone. I made you a promise every moment that you were fighting to survive for Alec. I promised you that I would always love and care for your son, Alec. I know that you watch over us always! My heart aches at all the milestones in Alec’s life that you have missed like prom and his high school graduation. He misses you so much!! He tells me often how he wishes he could see you just one more time. You can Rest In Peace now, Brother. I am holding on to your son, Alec, with your loving arms and all the love that you left all around us! We love and miss to so much!
~Patti Acevedo Callahan and your son, Alec Acevedo
