He was a brave and moral man, but he was also alone in a sea of killers. We heard him often on the radio begging for someone, anyone, to send troops to Rwanda to stop the slaughter, but no one listened to him.

" Primero que todo, debo agradecer a Dios por encima de todos, por ser un Padre maravilloso y mi mejor amigo, mi verdadero confidente... y mi salvador. Has sido mi compañero constante en los buenos tiempos, en los malos... y en los peores tiempos. Gracias, Señor, por abrir mi corazón y permitirme amar de nuevo. No soy nada sin Ti, y contigo lo soy todo. Me entrego por completo a Ti, Señor, que se haga siempre Tu voluntad en mi vida. Sigo caminando en Tus huellas. "
