Happy Birthday, Gil! I miss you so much. I think about you all the time. This year you became a grandfather to Gabriel, and your goddaughter and niece gave birth to Jayda on News Year Day. I was thinking about playing pool with you in Daisey’s house. We had so much fun and I have the pictures to prove it. I love you and will always hold you close in my heart.
Tu Memoria Vivira para Siempre en Mi.

Gil-(Papito)!!
I have so many childhood memories with our little gang you,me,Linda and Margie. One of my memories were of you running so fast and me holding your hand trying to keep up with you, but I would fall and you would laugh at me. And now I know your running fast and free again. Miss you and will always be thinking of you. Rest in Peace. Love your cousin.
Good times!

In memory of my beloved brother, Gil. I still can’t believe you are gone but I know you are now at peace, no longer suffering and taking long deep breaths. I imagined you running into Mami’s arms with your brothers William and Robert at each of her side and with your niece Lizette all in a big family bear hug. I’m home now after a long, painful and exhausting week. My memories of the great times we shared kept me going. You were a wonderful brother to me, someone I could always depend on. No matter how many miles came between us, we were in constant contact. I knew if I was ever in need, you would be there for me as you knew I was always there for you. And even though you put on that tough military persona, your love for us always shined threw and that light let us know you loved us as much as we loved you. You will always be close to me in my heart. I love you! Until we meet again!

Sorry this is so late, however I've been attempting to find out IF it were true that Gil had passed. Although I had only known him a short time as a patient(pulmonary office), it was long enough to know that he was a kind and loving family man, a strong man both spiritually and emotionally. As a former Navy Hospital Corpsman myself, there were things and stories that we could share and understand.
Shipmate, here's wishing you Godspeed, fair winds and following seas. CORPSMAN UP!!!!

Tio Gil! I love you and I'm sorry you had to go at a pretty young age. I think what I will remember most about you are the times you would take me to the zoo every morning to volenteer a couple summers ago. It's one of the few times we really connected but even though the the quanity of time we spent together was small, the quality is what really matters. May you rest in peace and take as many deep breaths and fishing trips you want in heaven. You will always be remembered.

To Belinda & Kymber,
I want to send our deepest heartfelt thaughts and prayers to you both at this time.. I also want to let the rest of the family know that we are thinking of them.
I am so greatful that we had gotten to meet "grandpa" because he was such a great man... We (Mariah, Jakob and myself) didn't know him as long as other people, however he opened up his home to us each and eveyday that we were there. He was so great with my "mariah and jakob" he treated them like they were his own, especially my Mariah..
We think of him each and everyday.. I want you both to know that we love you both very much. I know from seeing it in person, he loved you both, and in return you both loved him very much.
Being with him each and everyday like you both were was a gift.. Always remember that he will walk with you from this moment on.. He will be your guiding light through each and everyday of your lives..
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of his life.. We will miss him greatly and we love him and our love is extended to each of you..
Love,
Melissa, Mariah, and Jakob Berger
