Se ha marchado nuestro hroe a reunirse con nuestra amada Tita. Jefito, pancholin Loln, Iia eran algunos nombres con que sus hijos y nietos se referan a l. Don Julin fue un hijo responsable con sus padres, lleno de sabidura y amante de los animales, especialmente sus perros y gatos, y ms an de las plantes de su jardn donde pasaba horas enteras regando. Uno de sus mayores orgullos era el haber visto a todos sus hijos educados y profesionales, ya que lo hicieron el y su esposa con un gran esfuerzo. Su mayor felicidad la trajeron todos sus nietos ya que los adoraba y deca que era el amor ms extraordinario que un ser humano poda Sentir. La herencia que nos deja no es material, sino cosas como la honestidad y el amor al trabajo. Dios te lo suplicamos recbelo y reunei con todos los seres que l amaba y que ya estn contigo. Papa y abuelo te llevaremos en nuestro corazn y permanecers en nuestra vida diaria como una estrella brillando en el cielo. Que Dios te bendiga, y desde el halito del cielo brindanos tu ayuda. Te queremos y gracias Dios por habernos dado a ese padre maravilloso.
