My Handsome father, I will and do miss you so much already. It's hard for me to write something to you without tears flowing down my face. You taught me so much in life; you led by example. You are one of the most beautiful gifts that God blessed me with, a loving and caring father. It breaks my heart to know that you won't be here any more for all of our family gatherings and holidays. You played such an important role in these events and in our everyday life. It's been a privilege and honor to be your daughter. It hurts so much not having you here but I have peace in my heart knowing that I will see you again (and Fernando) in Glory with our Heavenly Father. I look forward to seeing you then. Love you Dad, Linda

Offering my deepest condolences to the family. May the words of Luke 20:38 provide comfort.

To my dear Uncle Gilbert...listening to everyones memories they have of you made me recall one I have of you. At your 80th birthday party, I asked you to dance with me. I wasn't sure if you would but you did. You called me ''Loretta Lynn''. It is a sweet little memory I'll always have of you.

May you rest in heavenly peace. Amen.

Your loving niece, Loretta Acevedo Cayton

Dearest Aunt and Cousins,

I pray that the Good Lord will be with you all at this sad time. The loss of a dear husband and father is such a difficult trial to go through. But, the Lord is merciful and does bring peace and joy back eventually. What helps is sharing the memories of all the good times you had together. Be strong and know that he will always want you to be happy. Don't be afraid to have a good cry or two or more as it cleanses the soul and lets your heart smile once again.

God bless you always.

Your loving niece and cousin,

Maggie
