May the happiness you feel on this special day remain in the memory of every one of you for the rest of your lives.

May this day of thanksgiving be an unforgettable one for all of you, never forgetting my misery and the suffering of my family.

Instead of doing their job, the police abuse their power, cruelly killing people as they did with my son Andy Lopez Cruz, an innocent boy who loved this country and was willing to fight for it. The patriotism my son had for this country did him no good.

You killed him, you servants of the law, in the worst way, not even an animal kills in this way, they usually take time to smell their prey before eating it, but you didn't even give my son time to face you. You murdered him like it was nothing, killed like a bird or raccoon on the side of the road.

Do you not wonder how the family is, how we suffer?
Do we sleep? Do we eat ? Do we cry?

Go on and enjoy your dinner while I cry and my children and their father suffer the grief and pain of not having his brother and son. Remember, that you have left much more than an empty chair in this room, and that we no longer can eat, while you meet with all your family members, taking for granted that they are all there with you.

Go on, laugh, drink, while I comfort myself by hugging my son 's ashes, which is what you murderers have left me, on this day of happy thanks given.

Que la felicidad que tienen en este dia tan especial se quede grabado en la memoria de cada uno de ustedes por el resto de sus vidas.

Que este dia de Thanksgiving sea inolvidable para todos ustedes, que nunca se olviden de mi desgracia y el sufrimiento de mi familia.

En vez de cumplir con su trabajo, la policia abusan de su poder asesinando cruelmente a personas como lo hicieron con mi hijo Andy Lopez Cruz, un niño inocente que amaba esta patria y que estaba dispuesto a pelear por ella. De nada le sirvio el orgullo que tenia mi hijo de este pais.

Lo mataron, ustedes agentes de la ley, de la peor manera, ni un animal mata de esa forma, el suele oler a su presa antes de comerla y ustedes a mi hijo ni tiempo de voltear le dieron. Lo asesinaron sin importarles nada como si huvieran matado un pajaro o un raccoon en la carretera.

Ustedes no piensan del sufrimiento de esta familia y como estamos?
Si dormimos? Si comemos? Si lloramos?

Vallan y gocen su cena mientras yo lloro y mis hijos y su padre sufren la pena y el dolor de no tener a su hermano e hijo. Recuerden que dejaron mas que una silla vacia en este comedor, que ya ni comer se puede, mientras ustedes se reunen con todos sus miembros familiares, sin pensar que a ustedes no le falta niguno.

Vallan y rian, beban, mientras yo me consuelo abrazando las cenizas de mi hijo que es lo que estos asesinos me dejaron, en este dia de happy thanks given.
