LAWRENCE ESTÁ CONTIGO, RAMÓN El 12 de Julio, dos meses después de la captura de Alex Jiménez en Irak, los amigos de la familia se reunieron frente a la casa de su padre Ramón, en la calle Albión, para realizar una vigilia en apoyo a la familia y para rogar por su retorno. Han sido dos largos meses para la ciudad que espera por el retorno de uno de sus hijos pero ha sido cruelmente largo para Ramón, su padre, que sólo encuentra sosiego en sus amigos y en su fe. “Ustedes me han hecho un gran regalo hoy dándome su compañía”, dijo Jiménez conteniendo sus lágrimas. “Para el país, Alex es un soldado perdido. Para nosotros, él es el amigo, el hijo que está perdido y que todos esperamos con fe de que regrese”, expresó Ángel Méndez, un amigo de la familia. Nosotros tenemos la esperanza de que esta vigilia inculcó en Ramón la seguridad de que no esta solo en esta espera, y de que puede contar con esta ciudad como si fuera su gran familia.

“Yo no he recibido ninguna carta de la ciudad, pero cuando leímos los artículos en Rumbo acerca de los carteles, decidí quitar este”, dijo Checo posando junto al letrero de Lantigua. “I have not received a letter from the city but when we read the articles in Rumbo about the LAWRENCE IS WITH signs, I decided to take this one down,” said Checo posing by Lantigua’s sign.
