Papi, I miss you so much, not a day goes by that you are not on my mind, you left us way to soon and now we have to cope with the fact that you are gone, since you left all I think about is being reunited with you once again, Your my heart, my love, my everything. I still try to figure out how to deal with this pain, this intense hurt that I feel daily. The only thing that gets me through is knowing one day I will be with you again walking hand in hand in heaven, I love you deeply! and am saddened that I can't see your beautiful face everyday,and hear your laugh,or kiss your cheek like we used to do, even though I know you are looking down on me watching over your little girl. It just hurts to let go, you will never be replaced in my eyes, or your grandson's he will ALWAYS love his buelo and I will ALWAYS love my Papi!

Dear Jimmy,

I enjoyed being in your company and visits to see you in Florida. You always joked about going to McDonald's House.
You always made people laugh and you sure knew how to make breakfast. I know you are up in heaven with the angels and are being well taken care of. Love always Nana(Patty's mom)

Jimmy we will always remember your smiling face and sense of humor. Always asking me to make your favorite "pot roast". You open your home and heart to everyone and asked for nothing in return. We will miss you and know you are being well taken care of.
Jinny, Boo Boo and Vanessa- you are in our thoughts and prayers and want you to know we will always love you. Please know we can't be at your side, but we have you in our hearts. Love always Patty, Danny and Dominic

Uncle Jimmy:
You will be missed by all. Jimmy was the type of person that could make a person laugh regardless of the situation. He loved his family and he loved to cook just remember never to ask what type of meat it was. He will be missed by his family and friends. Uncle Jimmy you have touched our hearts and for that we are all better people to have known and loved you.

To My Family In Daytona Beach:
Titi, my deepest sympathies to yourself, Vanessa & BooBoo. You don't know how hard it was to call you and just say "I'm sorry for your loss" when you feel like that won't be enough for the loss for an uncle like Jimmy. I felt like that wasn't enough but what can I do when you're so far away from me. Your so far away and we're not there to console you. He was so much a part of you as you were a part of him. Next time I go down to Daytona, it's so hard to phathom that I won't see him again. He had such a love for life. I'll never forget the bags of oranges he picked right out of your backyard and gave me the last time I was there to bring home to CT and told me those would be the best oranges I would taste, and he was right. I love you guys so much down there. Keep strong for the grandkids and keep his memory alive.

It is with our deepest sorrow that we learnt of my uncle's untimely death. We extend to you our deepest condolences for our great loss. He was such a creative unique person, with a beautiful soul. Keep in mind it was part of god's plan & he's at peace now... *Heaven is a serene place, where all Angels roam, It's the last very place where we all make a home. He's resting in god's arms, He's up in heaven now, no worries no qualms.*
To: my aunt Virgina & cousins Vanessa & Boo-Boo: Nothing any one can say, can help us through our grief, Even when were angry, hold God and Heaven in disbelief. When the time is right & meant, you will meet once again. You are in my thoughts & prayers. I love you all! (860)834-0985 -Mimi, Grant & Malik
