TO MY BEAUTIFUL GRANDMOTHER,
MAMA I THINK THIS IS THE HARDEST THING FOR ME TO DO RIGHT NOW.AS BEING THE YOUNGEST OF THE FAMILY YOU WAS ALWAYS THERE TO TREAT ME LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.YOU DISPLAYED A SMILE EVERY DAY I SEEN YOU, YOU WERE ALWAYS HAPPY,FULL OF JOY,AND LOVED EVERYONE MORE THAN YOURSELF.FOR THESE LAST FEW DAYS I'VE BEEN WONDERING WHY IT HAD TO BE THIS WAY..I WISH YOU COULD BE HERE AND SEE ME GROW INTO A MAN AND HAVE A FAMILY LIKE HOW YOU SEEN THE OTHERS.BUT I KNOW NOW THAT YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE WHERE YOU CAN LIVE IN PEACE AND NOT WORRY BOUT ANYTHING.ITS HARD TO ACCEPT THAT YOUR GONE,EVERYBODY ALWAYS SEEN YOU AS A STRONG WOMEN WHO FOUGHT EVERY SINGLE THING COMING YOUR WAY.BUT NOW I KNOW THAT YOU WERE JUST AN ANGEL ON EARTH WHO WAS HERE TO PROTECT US.GRANDMA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WHILE YOU WERE DOWN HERE YOU TOUCHED SO MANY HEARTS AND YOU SURELY TOUCHED MINES,YOU WERE IN MY LIFE FOR 16 BEAUTIFUL YEARS AND I WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK FOR ANYTHING.I LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND LET YOU LIVE IN PEACE WITH THE ANGELS.
LOVE, CHRIS

Abuela, I know right now it's going to be hard for me to write this, there's so much I want to say and there's so much that is on my mind...You left us abuela and it's so hard to accept it....I know you are in a better place right now. Abuela seeing you and touching you in that hospital bed was hard for me. Many don't know why it's hard, everyone say to me I know its hard b/c she's your grandma but they don't really know why it's hard for me. I guess I took it for granted all the times I told you I was going to visit you on my days off. I know I'm busy all the time but when I had the chance I should of visit you..I feel as for me I failed as a granddaughter. I wish I had more time to spend with you and now I just seen you in a bed laying there peacefully "omg God why"....why did this had to happen...I know you wanted to go but I wish u were still going to be here to see jessica get married and I to get married too when it was my time......I know God needed you to be one of his angels to be there with him...Abuela you have such a good heart, you never hated no one. You treated everyone equal even if you didn't know them or even if they did something that was wrong. I had a strong grandma and I am so proud to have had you and call you my grandma. I never told you this but I want u to know that I look up to you....You've showed me so many things about life and always made sure I was okay, you're my hero...
Abuela the time came and you left us I had to say goodbye, but don't worry it wasn't a goodbye to me it was
"I love you, Stay Smiling and I'll see you later"...
Please never take things for granted because there can be times that you can make it up but then there can be times that you can't and trust me you never want to be in one of those situations because it hurts you so bad.

My beloved mother Juanita Melendez.
You was my mother and my best friend. Our mother daughter relationship was unique. When I was sad you was always there to make me smile. I miss you holding my hand because you loved to show me how much you loved me. My heart feels empty not having you here with me. I know your in a better place up in heaven with the angles. I can see you now looking down on me and smiling like you always did. I know your going to protect me and take care of me. I will always have you in my heart. There will never be a day that I won't be thinking about you. I will love you always. Love Daughter Maria
