Hello everyone, I hope everyone who is reading this is doing well.

To begin, unfortunately, our dearest Grandpa Manuel Briseno has left our family this past Thursday. He went peacefully, and he was always full of energy; helping around the house, tending to the plants that enveloped his lovely home, etc. What I can say about him is that he was the friendliest and most caring person in our family. He brought us all together with his engaging stories about the fun cars he owned in his younger years. I listened to his stories for hours, and I wish he was still here with us during these tough times. He was someone you could rely on for a great laugh and good storytelling.

Due to issues regarding his kidney health, he was on routine kidney dialysis that helped him fight on for as long as he could. He was brave and very tough for having to deal with this machinery day-in and day-out. His passing was very sudden and took our family by storm; we never prepared for this happen and the costs of funeral arrangements is a huge weight on us to bear. We cannot express how much gratitude we have for anyone who wishes to support us in any way, shape, or form. No amount is too small, and we deeply appreciate for taking your time out of your day to read our story. I hope each and everyone one of you have a prosperous year. Thank you!
