My Condolences Josh,Jen,

Jesse We are sending you love and strength for all. Love you Aunt Ruthie 

So sad. What a painful life he led. No parent or grandparent should outlive their child. 

I would love to be with you during this difficult time, but I know I would be more of a burden than a comfort. Please know that I love you all and am trying to send you strength.

My condolences to the entire Speers Barrientos family. We are devastated to hear this news and have such fond memories of T’Choupi. One memory will forever be imprinted in my memory banks is of T’Choupi and my son playing Legos in his room. I walked in about 30 minutes later to find that the entire floor was now covered in Legos, without a single sign of flooring visible. The two boys were deep in thought and collaboration of building together. He looked up at me with a mischievous smile without a single word spoken. My son proceeded to explain exactly what they were working on and how they both HAD TO find the right pieces. I laughed and closed the door to allow them to have fun, figuring it all out together, heart filled with warmth and joy that these two boys were so happy and engaged. 

He will forever be remembered in our hearts as the vibrant, kind, incredibly curious and intelligent human being he was. May his soul rest in peace and may he find his way to reuniting with his grandmother in the afterlife. Aryon will miss playing and laughing with you, T’Choupi.  Until we see each other again…
