Era yo muy niña cuando viviendo en el Barrio de Saint Just, Trujillo Alto, compartimos mis padres, hermanos y yo la vecindad con la muy respetada familia Coralin Sterlin. Sentimos mucho la pérdida de Vitito y aunque ya ha pasado tiempo, deseamos enviar un sincero abrazo de condolencia a su familia. Familia Torres Boyer
