I really miss you a lot...even though I see you everyday in Javie's face...your birthday just passed and I can't help but wonder what life what be like if you were still with us...i have to admit that I don't know if it's cause I am selfish or because I haven't truly dealt with your death because there are days that go by and I haven't thought if you and I hate myself every time I realize that I haven't thought of you...you are such a big part of my life and I know things weren't perfect between us but I was and am proud to be your daughter i hope you were proud to be my father considering all the mistakes I have made and continue to make with my life! I just really miss you and love you so much! In Sha Allah you can give me a sign and let me know you are watching over our family! I think if the names you used to call me and I hear you say them and it makes me smile! Wish I could hug you!

Even though you have been gone for a while and I have to wait til heaven to see you, I still feel you beside me, holding my hand and telling me everything will be okay...

July 24, 2010

My Dear brother, I miss you more than words can ever explain. The only thing that keeps me going is the pictures of you I have around the house and the picture of you I see when I go to bed and when I wake up. I just give Almighty God the Thanks to have known and lived with you for the time that we did. I know that I will see you soon in Heaven cuz God does not take such wonderful people from this earth without having them sitting with him at the right hand of his Father.. I miss and love you as you already know.
Love and miss ya Edwin and Family...

If yellow roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my husbands arms, for me. Tell him that I love and miss him very much. As he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek, hold him for a little while and tell him it's from me. Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday, but there's an ache in my heart that will never go away. Love ya!

We LOVE you too! Thanks

Hey 'Dah'...The other day it snowed like crazy out here. It hadn't been like this in awhile. All the snow brought back some good old memories! I had to call 'Mah' and let her in on my thoughts.. I made her laugh! Well it's about that time of year that the sadness hits hard! It's gonna be weird to come through and not see you...I didn't forget your birthday either, I just sat in my room quietly like you used to do! :0) I just know that you are around...Funny how I speak to you now than before...but now I have to listen in order to hear you... :0) Ok so I'm going to bed now...If you can keep looking out for us and I'll keep the memories coming...Good Night.

November 20, 2009

I have tried to move on and keep you close, but it just hurts to much. I really miss you, with every minute that goes by I wonder what are you doing?? I keep your picture close to my bed and you are the last thing I see when I go to bed and you are the first thing I see when I wake up. I don't believe that you are gone, I think that you will call me and say hey Ed Whats up!! But I know that it wont happen so I just settle for looking at your picture and wishing that you are doing good. I never knew how much I really Loved You, till you were no longer there!! But I will see you and that you can bank on it... I Love You, and Miss you like crazy!!!

October 20, 2009

I miss your smile - I miss your kisses - I miss your voice - I miss your silly jokes - I miss your touch -I miss you.

I want you to come up behind me wrap your arms around my waist and tell me I Love You!! (I miss that). I really really miss you today.

Hey Bro, Its been one long year that you have left us. It seems like yesterday I was talking to you on the phone and telling you how the Giants were going to be in the play-offs. But you are in Gods hand and I truly believe that we are all going to unite in heaven. You were a Special Friend, Brother, and sometimes, just someone with whom I could share my deepest thoughts. You are Very Sadly Missed but I know that you are looking down at us all and saying, "Yo, I'm Alright." Well the nickname you had for me was Ed-do-wee-hoe-low, and Chimp-Chimp, the monkey from Go Speed Racer. That name I hated very much, as kids I could not stand it when you called me that, But I would Give all The Money in the world to hear you call me that AGAIN... GOD BLESS AND I'll see you when I'm Looking at Cha... Your Little Brother Edwin AKA (Chimp-Chimp)....

July 22, 2009

Hi Dad,
It has been a year since you left and we all miss you very much. We all have fond memories of you and are thankful for that. The one nickname you gave me was Kimberly Wells, to this day I still don't know where that came from:) I can hear you say it and then laugh. Please continue to keep a watchful eye over your family and know that you will always be in their hearts. Miss ya.

The Christmas season was a very sad one this year with out you. You were not here to open presents or to exchange shirts (etc) with Pat and Angie because none of you liked the color, size, style of the ones you each received. Or to watch the kids open their gifts. And now tomorrow is Valentines Day. I use to enjoy that day. I always use to laugh inside when I would open my card and you would sign your full name to it. What other Raymond would be sending me a card I would think does he not remember that I have the same last name. And if you gave me candy you would tell the girls that they could not have any because they were mine but yet you would eat more than me. I have many happy memories I just wish that you were here to create more. I miss and love you very much.

Hey Dad...Merry Christmas! and Help keep us throughout the New Year! i was just thinking about the Christmas that you gave me the Garfield statue...I loved Garfield...but as you know, through ALL of my many apartments and places, that sadly it got broken! I was truly hurt not only cause it was broken but of what it represented...and that one year that I thought that I doing BIG things and i gave you that little tool set! It was either that or tape!! Both you could use and needed!! Those are just some of the things that helped to but a smile on my face today!!! Your are the BEST-even though I may not have said then, I truly know it now!!!!

Well my Brother, it was your Birthday Yesterday and I really missed you, I had to find the strength to write, but know this, you are never really gone for me cuz I keep thinking of the day we are going to meet in Heaven and I get Happy as Heck. Its been tough not being able to call you during the Giants game, but I know that you are watching from Above and I look up and say "did you see that Bro". I never knew how much I would miss you, till Now, but at least I rest in the comfort that you are in God's House, and I feel some relief, You were put on this Earth to touch everyone in a special Way,that you did, so God called you back and with that I am Blessed that you touched me in a Special Way, watch over us all my Brother and keep us close to you. I'll LOVE YOU ALWAYS and I will see you in Heaven. Your Brother, Edwin (Go Big Blue) Happy Belated Birthday!!!

From the time I woke up this morning I kept thinking the day was significant, but for about 2 hours I couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me. Today is your birthday. Wow. This is my first time looking at your guest book and as I read through everyone's comments, it made me cry. It also made me laugh and smile too though because it brought back so many good memories as well. Growing up our families were inseparable and as a result, there are countless things I can think about and laugh today, despite the fact that it's a sad day for us. Know that you are always loved and missed and thought of.
Love you always,
Sarah (Sarotz)
P.S. Hope you're watching cuz the Giants will make it to the Superbowl again this year!

December 10, 2008

Happy Birthday Dad...sorry that your Giants didn't win this past game better luck next time, huh?
The Giants aren't the only ones that are sad about now...so if you could find away to shine some of your Rays over to Ma to help her and the girls ease the pain, that would be good!
I won't pretend and say that I know what they are feeling but I feel some of that pain too!! All I can say is that I have some strength over here if you need it, so don't be afraid it's yours' for the taking!!
Sending much love your way always,

Hi, Thanksgiving just passed and for me it was kind of wierd cause I was home...most of the holidays growing up I spent with your family! but these holidays just don't really feel the same anymore. Just like the bus...I know what you mean Ma when you speak about the bus...the other day when I was on it I expected to hear "Malpass, where you going?" I was the only one on the bus that heard it! I was also the only one that was crying on the bus too! (you know that I'm not the one for tears) Sorry that I didn't call :( I'm just thrown off some this year... love always and forever, Me.
Dad, was you really watching the Giants or what?

100 days ago life as I new ended. Time has not erased the love nor healed the pain in my heart. I still wait for you to call. I still wait for you to come home. (I can't stand watching the bus go by.)

You are loved more than yesterday and missed more than words can say. You continue to live in every fiber of my being. You continue to be the center of my life.

Dear Raymond: I did not write in your book until now, because it's very differcult to say goodby to a beautiful person that you believe is still with us. It's comforts our heart to know that your journey is over, that the peace and joy beyond our understanding is finally yours.

I openly extend my hands if you need them or my ears to listen to you vent and ramble...my shoulder if you just need to rest your head for a minute...but doing all of this comes natural, but what I don't know is how to ease the everyday pains... I have thought of many things to say in many ways but my action may not be of the same view... I don't call or stop by as much cause i don't want to be that one person to remind of the everyday pains...but please don't think that for one second, you can't call or I'll never call... I just don't want to over crowd your space... You guys are always in my heart and thoughts...

Wow, where do i start! This loss hits so many lives very hard. Raymond was a good man and he leaves lots of memories for all. He was always good to me (as was everyone else in the family). He always joked with us girls and always called me Roseana-dana. While living in Egg Harbor we had alot of memories and good times at the big blue house :). Raymond will always be missed and and never forgotten...

July 23, 2008

My heart goes out to Zoraida,Evelyn,Melissa and all those who were blessed to call him my family. He was the best Brother in law I will ever have. At least I had the privledge to call him my family member. He will be missed by ALL who knew him and those who didn't, because they will never meet a nicer guy and friend as Raymond.
God saw you getting Sick and Tired but a cure was not for thee, So he put his arms around you and wispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden Heart stopped beating, hard working hands got a rest.
God Broke ALL OF OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US, THAT HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
God Bless you and see you in Heaven. Lisa, Joey, Niki, Meeyah, Edwin, The other Acevedo's

Now that you need help God has claimed you back to help you. May you rest at the right hand of the father, till we see eacher again

I would like to say that Raymond will be deeply missed. He was more than a Brother to me he was like a Father,Freind and some one I would call to just say Waz-Up Ray. Tato as we would call him, was a great person who would do any thing for anybody. His wife of more than 30years was his greatest friend of all. He will be Greatly Missed, but I am sure he his looking down at us from heaven and saying, I am all right now. I'll Miss You Ray,
Love, Edwin his little brother.
