Dear Aunt Natalie, Cousins Amelia, Manny, Robert and Roberta,
My family and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Uncle Manuel was the BEST! One of my favorite things about RI was him and Aunt Natalie. Memories that I will treasure. Sorry we could not make it to the services we found out late and also I am pregnant and unable to fly. I miss you all and God bless you all and May the Good Lord Keep you all Safe in the Palm of His Hands.
Love

As the only Grandfather I had a chance to know, you are a strong man with a great heart and tenacity for life. Grandpa, you always made everyone laugh and it will not be the same without you. I take solace in knowing that you lived a great life and we were loved by many. I will never forget the sleepovers with fresh bread to dip in our coffee or the larger than life pancakes! I hope you have found peace and know how truly special, loved, and respected you are.
Love, Caroline, Kevin, & Cameron
