Furthermore, the telenovela actor asked his followers to continue their prayers for Dante, who is now in heaven, and for his family who is grieving for his loss. “We say goodbye to you, Dante. This is my town, this is the church that saw me grow, these are my people, and in this space I where I give you away. To whoever would like to pray for our son, welcome!
