Gloria Calderon–Cardona Gloria Calderon–Cardona (‘‘Gloria’’) is a citizen of the United States (Exhibit No. 31) and resides in Puerto Rico. From the time of her father’s death, Gloria has experienced emotional pain and suffering, loss of her father’s society, companionship, comfort, advice and counsel and has suffered severe mental anguish and extreme emotional distress. Gloria testified at trial that as a child she considered Carmelo to be ‘‘a loving father. He was an upright, upstanding man, but he was a loving father, and TTT whenever we had to go on a trip, if we all didn’t go, he wouldn’t go.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 148, ln. 6–11) Asked about Carmelo’s relationship with his wife Eladia, Gloria said, ‘‘they had a loving relationship. It was a very close relationship at all times.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 146, ln. 19–20) Gloria added that her father, ‘‘was a Christian, and TTT he taught us that we had to go every Sunday to church.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 146, ln. 5–6) Gloria described the regular weekend family trips to the countryside: ‘‘Whenever we traveled—because we went out to the countryside a lot—and we would always go together as a family. My father had a cargo truck that he would use for construction, where he would take his materials; so on Sunday for church, he would put some benches in the back, and we would sit on those benches and all sit in 467 the back of the truck. So a—when we would go out to the countryside, if we brought in fruits, we brought in banana, plantains, when we would get home, then he would tell us to give it—to give out fruits to the neighbors. The neighbors were first.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 149, ln. 10–19) Gloria said that because her father ‘‘was always at home’’ playing with the children, he would teach them ‘‘about the constellations, the Major, the Minor, and also teach us about poetry, songs, games.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 147, ln. 14–19) She continued, ‘‘Well, at night, he would buy corn, corn on the cob, and my mom would roast them. And then we would all get in the living room, and he taught us the game of odds and even.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 147, ln. 23–25) At Christmas, the family was all together. Gloria said, ‘‘My father would always kill a pig, my mother would prepare it for Christmas dinner, and we would have ‘‘pasteles,’’ ‘‘arroz con dulce,’’ ‘‘blood sausage,’’ because all that used to be prepared at home. And at night we would all sit down at the table—and sometimes we did have family from the countryside that would come in and join us.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 148, ln. 16–21) New Year’s Day is also a very vivid memory for Gloria. ‘‘New Year’s Day we would spend it—we’d all spend it together. We would receive the New Year, all of us together, with our neighbors, singing, and we would—that would also be true for Christmas Eve. We would always get on the porch with the ‘‘maracas,’’ the ‘‘palitos,’’ with all types of instruments. There would be singing, together with neighbors, that would also come to our home.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 2, 2009, p. 149, ln. 1–7) Gloria testified that Carmelo had ‘‘always dreamed about some day going to the Holy Land, to go to the places where
