Oh Mateo, Family and Crocodile Bar Family,

We are SO SO sorry for Your loss. We are SO saddened by this awful news.

I saw the fire at 4 am that morning, from our house, and immediately called 911, since I knew it was not one of those planned fires and its mere size and location, I knew I had to notify the police. They told me it had already been reported and that a unit was on their way.

I witnessed all summer and fall, driving by, how you transformed an empty lot to a haven for us all to enjoy and get together.

Yes, you will rise, again, like the Phoenix you are.

Retire? Mateo? I think never…LOL

Again, SO sorry Mateo.

Anneli and Guillermo
