To my family: (Mom,brothers & sisters)
Not enough words to ever express the sadness that I feel for all of you & of myself..He was a great dad, husband, grandfather, teacher, counselor, friend,not even enough descriptions to describe the true man he was, I have lost one of my most cherished loves of my life: "MI VIEJO"..No one can ever replace him, even though there was one point in my life that I distanced myself from the family, but because of what happened to this wonderful man, he showed me the true meaning of family, & that is: 'LIFE IS TOO SHORT, MAKE THE BEST OF IT, NO MATTER THE DISAPPOINTMENTS, UPSETTINGS OR DISAGREEMENTS,IS ABOUT BEING UNITED AS A FAMILY..I am very proud to have been his daughter, proud to have raised me with good upbringings & how this man showed all of us that no matter how hard things can be, there is always a pot of gold at the end of rainbow...In my life this man will always be a legend, Thank you family for being there for one another..& I hope that this closeness will always remain between all of us no matter what..I LOVE YOU GUYS....

Dear Abby and Family,

We are truly sorry to hear of your recent loss of your dad. We extend our sincere sympathy to all of you at what I know is a very sad and mournful time.

I know firsthand how profound a loss it is when you realize that he will no longer be there for all the events in your life. I can tell you though that the very best way to mark his passing is by filling your mind with all of the wonderful memories you have of happier times.

Your dad lived a long and rewarding life and accomplished so much in his lifetime. He will long be remembered as the hardworking, intelligent and loving man that he was.

Our thoughts will be with all of you. May you find comfort in the outpouring of sympathy from all of us who share your loss.

In deepest sympathy,
Love Always....
Deb & Carmelo
