"Ricardo, first and foremost, congratulations on all your lifelong accomplishments! Thank you for the honor of sharing your life story with a dear friend and allowing me to feel enriched by your story. After completing your book, I can truly say that your testimony and triumphs in life have shaped you into the modest, determined, responsible, hard-working provider that your family can be proud of. You have defined what a dedicated man can accomplish through integrity, hard work, and perseverance. Your family/kids are a mere reflection of your moral and ethical qualities. "I believe God places people in your life for a reason, and I feel blessed to have been acquainted. You and your wife are good people who deserve all that life has to offer. All your kids should be very proud and inspired to have parents whose struggles and sacrifices have enriched their lives for many years to come. Your exceptional character is and will be forever embedded in your children and grandchildren. You"re right when you say, "You"re blessed." May you and your family have many, many more promising memories and blessings to come. May your happiness be continuous and contagious. Love Always." - Kimberly Tyson, teacher, Valley Central School District, Orange County, N.Y. My Last Stop is the memoir of Ricardo A.
