My brother Fito was a loving, generous, kind-hearted man. We will never forget you Fito, 'cause as long as we have our happy memories, you will live in our hearts. I loved, and am greatly going to miss, the talks we had about all 8 of us growing up in Kingsville, on Nettie Street, as you fondly loved to say. God Bless You, and say hello to Mama, Pappa, Marcos, Bocho, Rosa, and Rafe. Missing you already, your sister, My.

Uncle Arnold has made a presents though out my life, always saying the thing I need to here and clarifing the thing I did not want to here. Even in a recent vistit he showed me that no matter what, there was no reason to stress or be upset about anything. With a smile on his face and the words I will be fine, he showed me that the obsticles in front of me were not as big as I though they were and I just need to smile and get through them.
In my Heart always and for ever, Love you Uncle Arnold.
I will miss you manito! Thank you for being so wonderful, generous and unconditional! My prayers are with Ester and your family.
