Efren passed away a little after Noon today. I held his hand as he was trying taking his last breath. It was truly the hardest thing that I have ever had to do in my life.

It's crazy.... no matter how much you expect it, death is impossible to prepare for. At least for me... E was ready, he was hurting, he was tired, he kept waiting for a break... he's finally got one. I love you, Efren Ortiz, Jr. Rest in peace... you're gone but far from forgotten...
