With so many gas choices, I will drive by Citgo.
HOUSTON (KHOU)
— Venezuelan-owned oil refiner Citgo flew the flags outside its Houston
offices at half staff on Wednesday out of respect for President Hugo
Chavez.
Chavez died of cancer Tuesday at 58 years of age.
Citgo confirmed with KHOU 11 News that its flags, including the U.S.
flag, would be lowered for the late president. The company said it would
release a statement later in the day.
Chave’z funeral will be held Friday in Caracas in an event that
promises to draw leaders from all over Latin America and the world.
Already, the presidents of Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia have arrived
for the ceremony.
Grieving multitudes greeted the body as it left the hospital, Reuters
reported. His daughter, Maria Gabriela Chavez, and mother, Elena Frias
de Chavez, were among those who emerged from the hospital where Chavez
died on Tuesday. Seven days of mourning have been declared in Venezuela,
and all school was suspended for the week.
