Having lost my Father and Brother I know the heartache you must feel. Rest assured your Dad is in a much better place and re-uniting with his family in Heaven. I'm playing golf today, and although I'm not a great golfer, I will dedicate todays round in his honor. God Bless.

Grandpa,
Thanks for all of the wonderful times, laughs and stories. I will always remember and appreciate your kindness towards me. I remember when Grandma taught me to make tortillas and you said how good they were. :) You lived an amazing life, and I know I will pass your stories on to my own children so they will know what an incredible man their great-grandfather was. I know you've gone on to a better place, and I know we will all be reunited one day in Heaven. Love from your granddaughter,

Though our time spent together was limited, I gained great respect for you as a man. I found you a man of great honor and dignity. I salute you for the service and dedication you bestowed in your years with the U.S. Air Force as well as with the U.S. Postal Service. You will truly be missed but never forgotten.

I sure am going to miss you Uncle Louis. My sympathies to my Aunt Anita and to my cousins Louie, Livy, Mark, and Marina. I have such happy memories of spending the day in Grand Terrace and going across the street to the orange groves and looking for golf balls that were hit by you, my uncle who was a great golfer. Thank you for serving our country and for your years of dedication as a postal carrier. Thanks for the memories, your Niece Caroline (Gypsy)

Uncle Louis,..My deepest sympathy is with your family...I have fond memories of the stories my father Robert Cardona, would tell us of you and all the Cardona kids.. in Rock Town. I personally want to thank you for your support and visits to my brother Mario when he was batteling cancer. Your smile..reflected your kidness. Rest in Peace with God and your family in Heaven.

September 20, 2010

Louis, when were young and vibrant, we can't wait to come out and explore this world...Many times we take things for granted. And when we are old, we say "where has all the time gone?" And we think about the things we took for granted...But now you are in the next life, where you will enjoy eternal life with his blessing...Rest in peace Louis...Larry Lira

Louis you are now at rest and peace in Heaven. You lived a long life and it was your time. You served your country and traveled all over the world. You've seen it all. Now its time to start your eternal life. Go look for a golf course and get some birdies. Please give my mom Lena a yellow rose and a hug and a kiss for me. And to the Cardona Family, my condolence are with you all.

So sorry to hear of Mr. C's passing. I have many memories of him. I'm sure that if he were still with us he would be saying "Darn Dodgers"!

MARK CARDONA

Dad, sorry I wasn't the son I feel you were in alignment with, but you were one of the most intelligent men I ever knew & I always admired your military service to this country. I often told others with pride, that my father was in the Air Force 23 yrs. Also, even though it may have seemed at the time all you did for the family was taken for granted, there was an appreciation that went way beyond words. I hope you are with your family in Heaven & that there's a Golf Heaven. When I meet up with you in Heaven under better circumstances, perhaps we could play a game of golf together.
Your son Mark
