Gary also expresses his appreciation to Sandro and shares his excitement at welcoming him into the family.

"My heart tugs but not with sadness my dearest princess...but with the joy of the Lord for how He has orchestrated your life...and how He will continue to do so. I'm thankful for the young man the Lord allowed to find you. Love you, too, Sandro. What a joy it is to have you in the V family," he said.
