  1. LORO MY BIG CARNAL
    Carnal you were truly one a kind. You never gave a f$ck what people thought and said about you. You lived life to the fullest with no regrets.

    • Para mi Compadre Lorenzo Larry: THANK-YOU, Compadre for teaching me what being a Comadre means, and for ALWAYS being there for me/us through thick and thin, through the good, the bad and the ugly to help me/us any and every way that you possibly could! You left a huge hole in my heart, but I’m happy that you are no longer sick nor suffering. I know that I’ll see you again one day in Heaven, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to help you in the end and when you needed me. You know that I’ll keep my promises to you and I meant what I said. You have a new body, and I know you’re saving me a place so that I can sing with you once more! ¡Hasta luego, Compadre! ¡Nos vemos…..!
