Dear tio,
I cant believe its been a whole year. I miss u dearly and your always in my heart n thoughts. Life feels so empty with out you. Believing that one day we will meet aganin Laughing and sharing God"s Glory..
By the way that dream I had of you touched my heart.. Where you and I were dancing. You smiling so big when I said tio" Your still the best dancer.. We were in a yellow room just dancing away.. I didnt want it to end... Tell mom and my dad hi.. Safe some dances for me. I can only imagine the fun that tia laura, mom and you are having..
Oh yeah tio how about them cowboy Boys.. Are you secretly beening their angel and tackling the emeny. Lol... I know if the cowboys win the super bowl. It was you being their angel. lol.
Tio till we meet again... love you... Dont worry about tia, My door is open to her any time.. I will continue to let her know that the familia is always here for her and thinking of her.. Bye for now.. Love (tia)rita gomez.

wow a whole year doesn't seem like it probably because you will always be in our hearts and we know that this earth is not home we are just passing through. we love you dearly and what we miss is the the physical part of you but we know that your spirt leaves on with our Heavenly Father and that one day all that recieve Him as their Lord and Savior will also join you and the rest of our love ones. i bet aunt Laura was excited when she saw you and mom. With Lots of Love and special memories.
Luv u
Virginia

Hello Uncle Cris, we miss you very much! I know I did not ask for much when needed but when I moved from Elk Grove and sold my home you where there for me. I don't forget that you told me to let you know what I need buy a home together or money. Those are the things that I will not forget nor anybody from the Flores Family that you have helped. You will always be in our harts! I know you are in a better place resting in peace and watching us! It will be hard watching a Dallas Cowboys game next year but you and I will be cheering together! Love you and miss u!

Dear Uncle,
It's been 10 days today since you left us and joined a much better place. It's been very hard for the Flores Family. I am glad you are not suffering anymore. One day we will all be together again! We will miss your dimples, smile, your advise, laughter, quotes "Si Chuey!", especially our Dallas Cowboy gatherings. It wont be the same without you. God bless us all at our first gathering next football season. I'm sure you will be there to see us threw it. Uncle you leave us with all the memories of our last gathering at Christmas 2008 at Mom and Dad's house (Jimmy, your brother's house in Galt, CA). It was such a great time we all had. We never know what's in store for us. I'm so glad we were all together then like always. We will miss you tremendously and will never ever forget you and the names you have given us. "Lena Marquez" whoever that was Haha. I love you Uncle Cris!
God Bless you always,
your niece,
Lena Hernandez, Carlos Sr., Carlitos, Brittany and Israel aka Tornato
Aunt Margaret:
I know this is a very difficult time for you and God only knows how you are holding up. It's a blessing that God has placed you in our lives. We will always be here for you. You are family to all of us and our condolences go out to you. Love you lots Aunt Margaret and may God Bless you always.

Hey Uncle Cris. First of all I want to say I miss you a lot. I still cant believe that your gone. I know you want me to be strong but im trying my best. If there is one thing you have taught me its to live life everyday to the fullest. From here on I will try to do that. I will remember your face, smile, laugh and the way you were. You were a great Uncle and a great person. Its funny that all your life you always managed to bring the family closer and even after you were gone you still managed to do that. We all love you and will miss you dearly. Ill see you one day. I love you Uncle Cris and will always miss you. May you rest in peace. Look after the family. Im not going to say good-bye but I will say that I will see you later.

Dear Uncle Cris
Its me Carlitos, gosh where to start, i only could remember the good times. there were never any bad times, especially with you. you were there for everyone including my family, it was funny because there would be some mornings especially saturday mornings around 10 when I would hear a knock on the door, i would then peak through the blinds to see who it was and it would be you with your dallas cowboys shirt and your hat. then i would look at my mom asking her if she knew that you were coming, she said she didnt have any idea you were coming over. then she runs to the bathroom like she always does because she didnt want you to see her without any make-up. that was funny tio.
Then you ask what everyone was doing. but everyone was still getting ready. im going to miss taking you across the street and having lunch with you. There are going to be a lot of memories, going over your house to watch football games or you going to uncle Mondo's house sitting in the back near the garage door. i remember a lot just like everyone else. The best thing that i wont forget tio was finally playing poker with all of my Uncles and grandpa. i wanted to do that ever since i was little and walking by the table and seeing all of you with all of that change. this past christmas in 2008 was the best. a day to remember. im really glad that you and aunt margeret and joseph came. just wich that you didnt leave a little too early, just to see all of us play that football game, that was awsome you should of seeing the look on grandpa's face and uncle Mondos, as well as everyone else, i just want you to know before i say goodbye that i was there to see you and talk to you when you were in the bed getting better. I love you always and forever.... Carlitos....

Tio, just knowing I talked to you on Christmas day makes me feel good. You know I was already to make plans for this summer because you said "I'll see you this summer mija." I will always remember those good times when you guys came to Texas. Eating, drinking, and playing poker. I will never forget those good times. That is exactly the way I want to remember you forever. Tia just want you to know I am thinking of you and remember that the great Man above only takes the best.
Tio just know that many in Texas loved you very much and will miss you. Also, I still have your Dallas Cowboy cup.
Love you forever,
Jolanda and Frank Roman & Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Uncle Cris, you were not just our uncle but a second dad to Me and my kids (Richard Robledo Jr. Monique Robledo, Manuel Alvarado Jr.) You were always there no matter what the situation was, and never hesitated to help out wether it was an up or a down situation. We miss you dearly, and we know you are in a better place now. We know that you are watching us from heaven and we will always remember you. We thank you for everything you have done for us and we are truly grateful that GOD picked you to be my uncle. May the lord protect you and take care of you, and may you rest in peace. Love always your Niece Elva Flores.
