In Memoriam

Before I write the next posting about our trip to Europe I wanted to post about some bad news I received while in Paris. Last Friday, 27 of July, my uncle Mario, my mother's older brother passed away in Guatemala. It wasn't fully unexpected since I had been told of his condition before leaving Canada. However it is a sad time for my family and myself. I am certain that my family in Guatemala understands my not being able to attend the funeral, which following local tradition took place the day after. I will be travelling to Guatemala as soon as I get back to Canada and hope to see most of my relatives down there.
For now, my thoughts go to the sweet and brilliant man whom we lost, knowing that he is now resting in peace. Descanse en paz, Mario Alberto Vega Arrivillaga 1950-2007
