"Te amé desde que estabas en mi vientre, cada segundo a tu lado fue lo mejor de mì vida. Dicen que nosotros escojemos a nuestros padres, así que te doy las gracias por tan grande honor, porque después de tenerte entre mis brazos ya no fuí nunca mas Maria Cristina Palacios sino " La mamá de Santiago Lasses ". La vida para mí no continua, simplemente seguire respirando hasta que llegue el momento de volver a abrazarte. "

"Santiago and I used to hang out when he was living in North Carolina. We used to ride our skateboards around and play video games at one of our friend's houses. These past few years we grew apart, but I always told him he could count on me if he needed anything, and I could count on him, even though we now lived in different states. He would have given the shirt off his back for the people he cared about. My condolences and prayers are with the family."

"I love the way Santi was always so caring, attentive and loving~to his friends, to his family, and even to animals. One day, in conversation, he said, 'why can't we all just love one another'. He was so kind and thoughtful. I loved to hear Santi play guitar.....he was a wonderfully talented musician. I send my prayers and love to Cristina, Jorge and family. Comfort each other because that's what Santi would want you to do. God bless all who mourn for our dear Santi. "
