To be greeted with 'happy birthday' and 'sorry for your loss' at the same time on three consecutive days of what was supposed to be a celebration full of birthdays. May was our month! 5th, 28th, 29th and 30th.”
She continued in her post, saying, “My husband suddenly passed away the morning of Tuesday, May 27th. To those who knew him from his early acting days, he was 'Kiko', but to our three kids and me, he was simply Daddy/Dada. Today would have been his 51st birthday. “Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. I would kindly request our need for privacy at this time as we navigate this difficult journey.”
