"Francis Gaspar, Where do I begin? First, let me tell you who Francis Gaspar is to me and my family. Many of you think he is just my cousin. Some of you know Francis as Eric and Myrna son. To me and my sister he is our brother and to my mom he is her son. Many of you know him by his name, to my mom he is Sanggol meaning baby. You see Sanggol and his brother?s loss their mom at an early age and for some reason or another, he became ours to keep. Hooray!!! I have a brother and I won?t be alone dealing with my annoying sister I thought (explain your state of mind). And then that came to an end! Sanggol was taken away from us to leave and immigrate to the United States. My sister Kristine and I questioned my mom why did she let this happen and let them take our brother away from us. She reassured us that we will see him again and we said no more about it. Once we saw him again it?s like time has not passed between us. I still saw him as my little brother who has grown too tall. Francis is the reason all the milk is gone as well as any fruit juices? If he was here to hear me he would say ?shut up! FOOL,,, Hella stupid,,, eerrrh,,,? then laugh silently in the corner smiling from ear to ear. He hated my humor but I know he secretly enjoyed it. I will miss that about us most of all. I will miss our interaction, exchanges of opinion, and our shared love for lyricism in hip hop as well. Francis is a generous person who helped those he can, and loved his family dearly. Now, Francis was taken away from us once more and this time? I am angry that it happened again. But my faith leads me to believe I will see Sanggol again. But this time around I will not stay silent, nor will I stop asking questions for I will not accept anything but the truth and find the strength to give vengeance to GOD. `"
