Luis was my Godfather and my best friend. He called me his Heatherina. When he was in SC he took me up to Hilton Field and taught me how to drive his car because I did not know how to drive a stick shift. One day I mentioned a boy's name and he growled, took me outside and taught me how to handle a knife. He said I should know how to take care of myself at all times. I miss him so much--there was so much he still wanted to teach me and I wanted to learn. I miss you Luis!
