Queridos amigos y hermanos, con mucha tristeza queremos compartir que nuestra querida madre, doña Dana/Danita (Donna), ha fallecido ayer a las 3:15 p.m. estamos seguros que está con el Señor. Fue una bendición que los tres logramos muchos momentos especiales en estos últimos dos días. Yo (Linda) llegué de Orlando. Yo (Glenn) llegué de Oregón. Yo (Mateo) estuve aquí en New York y no en Bogotá. Por favor ore por nosotros, y especialmente por don Roberto Hess, primera vez en 62 años no están juntos. Adelante con valor, Mateo y Glenn Hess  y Linda Nunez
