They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, and a million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly; In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Melissa and Orelia, I am so saddened by your loss. Nacho was an amazing man with a wonderful heart. I will never forget seeing him daily at Holy Cross bringing Melissa lunch. There was no doubt about it, you were and will always be his pride and joy. May your fond memories of Nacho carry you through this difficult time. God Bless you and your entire family!

What can I say ? He never had a bad thing to say about anybody and always had a hug and smile for me. What more can a cousin ask for ?
I love you Son and I miss you already.
