* September 30, 2006 *


2:08am My Grandfather, Alfredo Baller Mordeno, passed away peacefully in his bed at Providence hospital in Alaska. If I don't respond to your phonecalls, emails, messages, etc... that's why. But please just know, that I appreciate all of your love and support, and I carry all of your warm wishes in my heart. Thank you.
