Two blubbering babies over here love you so much. You are beautiful. I won’t forget the day that I turned to Albert and Antonio and said “Sam has always been here”. I love you!

I was very touched by your story. LA has its issues, but when we do community right, we really nail it.

I am so happy you are your family are here in our town.
