To Nelson and Clara and Senhora Maria. Our deepest sympathies are with you. I will miss seeing your dad sitting on the front steps and in the garden sometimes when I drove by. Our hearts are with you. Your old classmate and neighbour, Candida and Maria and Antonio Sousa. - Posted by: Candida Sousa-Lopes (Neighbour) on: Mar 09, 2012
