My soul Charlie, we still had the tequila for your birthday pending, one last merengue together, watch and wind each other up with F1."

I'll keep the love you gave me, our Sunday breakfasts, and that countless amount of coffees you made. Thank you for loving me like a daughter, for always letting me know you were there for me. Thank you for being a father and taking care of us with your particular love, your complicity, your jokes, conversations, drinks, and laughter.
Wait for me with open arms until I can hug you again!”.

While Ámbar dedicated an equally moving message:

"There are loves that are born from past lives, that are neither sown nor harvested, but that simply exist.

With you, I always felt loved, cared for, protected, and understood. How big time got for us and how unfair fate was.
With you, I learned what a father's love was, I understood what it was like to be someone's beautiful girl.
I love you with all my heart, Charlie. I hope you never forget me and that when we meet again, you give me that hug and that security that I need so much right now.”
