First he saw her as a powerful drug trafficker, then as a convict when she was imprisoned in the United States and finally as a woman of faith during his last months of life.
“I saw the change in her over almost three decades, and the last change, when she became a Christian lady, since an elderly lady was the change that most women go through at that age, her style, her way of being, her look… Everything changed to a woman who perhaps regretted everything she had done in life,” he concluded.
