I knew Mr. Cota personally because I went to high school with his daughter Sara. I may not have known him as well as many other people but I know he was a good man. He looked out for the best of his family, I know this because he and I spoke many times. I saw him as a 2nd father, for I knew I could talk to him about anything. I lost my father and best friend in 04 so I know the pain that is being experienced. My heart, prayers and condolences go out to all that were close to him, love you and miss you Mr. Cota may we meet again one day.

I want to hear your laugh and reminese about the good times we had...you and mom and all 8 of us kids, going to marine world and to santa cruz with ralph. So many good memmories daddy! I still cant believe that you are gone!! it seems so un-real. Your little "knuckle head" princess tells me all the time how much she misses you. Just a few days ago, her and i were sitting here thinking about you and we were crying so hard. I miss you daddy..i wish you would come back. There are so many times since your passing when i wanted to call you! I miss our visits. i would drive 900 miles one way to come see you and spend every minute that i could with you!!!! i made that trip so many times, atleast 6 times a year..and now looking back, it doesn't feel like that many times...i wish i was able to do iy more..i wish we didnt have to cut our last visit short when i was gonna come stay with you for 5 months..just to be close to you and spend tome with you!!! Im so sorry daddy...i love you dearly and you are in my heart, my thoughts and on my mind every day!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxox
