For some strange reason we tend to be in a great hurry to drive where we are going,It is the only time you see people movng fast on this island,unfortunatly we are all too often not aware of the pedestrians alking roadside and there are many of them on every roadside in this country,I have had the misfortune of having a wonderful 14 year old nephews life taken from him last thursday by someone who was in a hurry to get nowhere.It is a very dear price to pay to learn to slow down ,the lady who killed him will have to live with it forever and our family will have to live without El Bebo forever,Please slow down when driving wherever your going will still be there later but the life you take can never be replaced.

Our Codolences to your Family.

I waited 9 months, befor I would even think of driving here.
In the Navy, I had an International drivers license.
I have driven in 18, Foreign Countries, and Manhattan NY, was a breeze.
But nothing prepared me for the drivers of motorcycles ( 4 people sometimes) and cars here.
I still will not drive after dark.
And my trips to the Capital, happen only in the early am.
Other wise, I still call a taxi that we used exclusively, before.

Again, your family has our sympathies.

Johnny, sorry for your loss, please accept my condolences.

D.R. what a culture, people going anywhere for any event plan to be late. Yet, they drive like crazy to get there. Why, if they plan to be late? Still trying to figure it out. Regards, PJT

I always wondered about people who went to church, and then raced eachother go get out of the parking lot.
Sorry to hear about your nephew. Good luck to your family. As long as you remember the good times, El bebo will live in your hearts.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It hurts to hear of someone so young to have been taken so needlessly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and wish for the God of your knowing to wrap his/her arms around your heart. Your nephew will be with you always.

My condolences to you and your family JH. I hope you find peace within yourselves.

You can honor El Bebo by making this your lifelong crusade. Keep telling people, keep repeating it.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss!!
It's a tragic lesson that's been learned so many times over!!
If only people would heed the errors and recklessness presented in days prior to these, such misfortunes would not continue to occur.
May time and good memories help to heal your pain.

I am only reading this now, Johnny...I told Angel, and we're very sad for your loss. Angel knows your nephew, your family is in our thoughts. He says El Bebo was quite the baseball player, and was a great kid...
Once again, so very sorry...
God bless
