I miss you son

May 18, 2019

Another year without you.. Yesterday is gone yet the pain remains the same. Its hard to be quite when I want to scream your name. I know what you stood for and the morals you were taught. I know you still loved me even when we fought. Each day with you was a token. Your mothers love and the love for her will never be broken. She always knew best even when you were sad and blue. People forget that, its sad but true .

March 18, 2019

I love you it is sad with you not around it is hard to not have a father figure in my life so i miss you and love you

May 10, 2018

Everyday gets harder and harder, i pretend It doesn't bother me but it does. I hide It pretty well, but at night it gets to me. I'm not the same, i can put a fake smile on my face and still feel sad inside. I dont Let it get to me and ruin my day, but it's in the back of my head, I'm missing you. It's still hard for me, i never Got a chance to deal with you leaving. Was busy helping others, no one ask me how i feel Or doing. I ask As if i care, but deep down nothing really matters to me. You don't want us sad, but yet I've been sad since you left. I dont have any pictures of you Cause when i see Them, i want To break down. Everyday i think of you and bubba. I get Angry when i see A happy Family i get Bitter and sad. Cause what i have Is a memory now. I never Wrote you on here cause it was too much for me, 8 years later and it's still as hard as if it was the day you left me. People talk to me and give me advice, but in reality. They don't know what it's like, they have a family and parents. It's amazing how little things trigger me, i could Be watching a movie or tv. See a show I'd watch with you or a movie we would watch. People say it gets better in time, all time has done is make me miss you more. It's not that bad memories that hurt, it's the good ones that hurt the most. Love you

I miss you ♡ more then anyone will ever know

Love you and I miss more than anyone can ever imagine

August 28, 2017

Hey Marcelino !

I hope you seen all the family together for your Birthday. I remember you always saying how no-one could ever put a price on family and the jokes and stories we told were priceless. I remember how you told everyone that if it wasn't for mom none of us would be here. You were always there for mom no matter the time of day or weather. Mom lost more than a son she lost her best friend and I know Mothers Day is always hard. Were all doing well plus you would be VERY proud of your kid and how it been with mom. I am glad we had the time we did and don't worry Mama's Boy we are here anytime or anywhere for mom. I know you would be upset if anything or anyone didn't treat mom like you did .LOVE YOU and I hope HEAVEN IS AWESOME

May 11, 2017

Still missing you brother! Please know that this world isn't the same without you! You will be very proud of all your children! They are so smart and funny just like you! I will never stop missing you! See you in heaven!!!

Hi Bro! There are no words that can truly explain how much you are missed! I know some of us are still having a hard time dealing with you not being on this earth. And I know that GOD blessed us with having you in our lives for the time you were here. You have left your foot prints in our hearts and we will never forget what a "Wonderful Man/Father/Son/Uncle/Brother" you were! Your memory will never be forgotten! Thank you for being you!!

Love & Miss You Always!

I have not dreamt of you n it hurts so bad I wish I had something of yours to give mom actually your class ring you gave me n the promise with it would of been perfect but those items along with my diamond cut gold necklace from dad were stolen :( you believed krama will always come and so do I Anyway the pumkins came out cool n the kids also had a lot of fun. Big bro come visit me im afraid I forgot your voice how you laughed I never was afraid of death until you left n so many questions its hard to keep faith but I know god is watching over all of us .

I miss you so much son, I was thinking about how cute you were when you were born. ,so chunky with you hair sticking up all over

May 10, 2014

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason , will change the way I feel. .
For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, or how many times we've broken down down and cried.
We want to tell you something, so there will never be any doubt,
That you are so wonderful to think about, but so hard to be without
Love you always and I miss you more than anyone will ever know you were not only my son but you were my best friend love mom

Brother Tom! I have been sad all day just thinking of you because I miss you so much! I know you are in a better place but I still wish you were here! I am giving it my all to be the Nina you expect me to be but sometimes I find it challenging because Sam and Tommie are getting older! But I will never give up on them and will always do my best to make sure they are taken care of! I posted a picture of my grandson because I know you would've loved hanging out with him!

Love & Miss You Always!

Hey big brother Im thinking of you. I miss you so much even your criticism lol I even miss when your nose hair that would twitch when you got mad. Remember the time my shoe lace got stuck in the tire and fliped me over and i was crying oh man was i crying and you came over and asked if i wanted to see a trick and like that you picked the bike up and somehow i was still on the seat.It was amazing. Now as an adult i figured out how it was done and feel foolish. But that day i rode off into the sunset.Thanks Marcelino you always looked out for me. Pignutz

Three years ago today, we lost a father, brother, uncle. A hero, and a great man. My father, he was my bestfriend and teacher. I miss him very much and sad it's been this long since I've seen him last. If it wasn't for his death, I never would have picked up a mic and got closer to my friends and family. Everyone that stayed by my side and helped, gave me support and helped me get on my feet. It's been a long three years and this year everything is staring to come together. Thank you everyone that has help and I promise when I make it, I'll take care of everyone that helped me out. You saw me and helped at my worse and will get to see me at my best. I didn't forget who helped and who is still here. Before my dad passed I was a different person, the day he left is the day the old me left. I've have been a different person and moving on to my dreams. My words can't express to everyone that helped, soon you all will see. I miss you dad and bubba, I'm still rolling and fighting to win.

thinking of you, last night it was good to hear your voice in my dreams, miss you alot ! love you little brother with all my heart !!!

May 19, 2011

We little knew that morning god was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, our chain will link again. We love you and miss you so very, very much - Love Mom, Dad, Tammy, Jose, Destiny, Gabriel, Shawn, Bobby, Sam, Tommie, Xavier and Bug, Carmen, Domacio and Jr.

November 3, 2010

We shared lots of years,
and had a whole lot of fun.
But God has called you
home to his son.

I just can't believe
it has ended this way-
there were so many things
I had wanted to say.

It's too late for that now,
it will just have to wait,
until the day that I see you
at the heavenly gate.

May your soul rest well,
my beloved brother,
but the day is not over,
because we shall share another.

Your tragic death
has left a big hole;
but I'll try not to fret;
your now a free soul.

So when times are great,
and happy as such,
I'll think of you, my brother,
I'll miss you so much.

So goodbye for now, my brother.
I have not one regret.
You were a part of my life
that I'll never forget.
LOVE YOU!!!

Tammy

October 9, 2010

I love my brother
I miss my brother
I wept over my brother
But the good lord kept my brother

Lord guide my brother
Lord lead my brother
Lord accept my brother
Lord keep my brother

Lord comfort the mother of my brother
Lord comfort the family of my brother
Lord comfort the friends of my brother
Lord comfort the soul of my brother

Show my brother those pearly gates
I ask that he not be alone
Allow our father to accompany him
On his way to your almighty throne

My brother was as a flower
Fully blossomed and ready to be picked
You may have recaptured his soul
But the remembrance of his name will never quit

My brother completed his mission early
So now my brother is gone
But my brother will never diminish
For his soul will live on



love you much. tammy

I was watching Bug play on the grass yesterday and it so reminded me of you back on So. Knox Court about 35 years ago. He and X are your spitting image, I will one day see them as Men and again see your face and of course since men usually sound like their fathers all of your boys will carry your voice. Watch over Becca and the family. love you always

Theres no words that I could ever say or write that will ever express how thankful i feel for everything you have given me. Certain things that were set in stone I cannot change but will continue to grow and do my best to learn till the day I am done. I don't know what awaits us in the life to come or why you had to go there so soon but I know when its my time to go you'll be the one welcoming me. I have something to believe in after this life, and that is you. There is no heaven or hell where I'll go but simply you just waiting. Theres so much I want to tell you and talk to you about but I know you already know. Just keep your hand over my head and help me make decisions right from wrong and whats gonna be best for everybody. I know your there and that your watching us more than ever, and thank you for being my guardian cause I know this life hasn't even had half its fun with me yet. I love you dad and I promise to never give up.

I'm Not Here
Don't stand by my grave and weep
For I'm not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn's rain

When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.

April 16, 2010

To all of those who were touched by the life of Tom Bueno,

Rest assure that the plan in-stored for him has been completed and it was time for your beloved son, husband, brother, father, uncle and friend to walk hand in hand with the Lord his Savior.
