Not sure what to say?

Bobby, Three years ago you crossed over into the spirit world but your time here lives on in our hearts. I am constantly reminded of you when I hear a certain song, or artist, like Cornelio Reyna and Ramon Ayala, you and Dad had similar taste in music. I miss you both so much, I find comfort knowing you are together in spirit, along with Chuy, Danny, Tony, Joey, Terri, Karen and so many others we miss and love. Until we meet again, your Lil' Sis, Margaret "Margie"
I love you Bobby!

Uncle Bob- I feel so honored to be your nephew. I will ALWAYS treasure the times I took you to Dodger Stadium to see them play. Game one was behind home plate. Second was behind 1st base on field level. Third was at field level behind 3rd base. You used to "elbow me" and asked me, "How much did this cost?" I said, "Nevermind...we're making memories." I wouldn't change any of this. You gave me memories from childhood to adulthood. I love you so much Uncle Bob. Just rejoice that you're in peace...

Papa Bob,
I want to thank you for being a great man and father to me my words or actions could never show how much you meant to me. I will always have the memories of those times we shared and you will never leave my heart.

Our heartfelt blessings to all of his lovedones!may god bless you and keep you in his grace.

Bobby, The days ahead will be difficult without you, but I will use my faith and love for you to give me strength. I pray that God will comfort you and keep you in his embrace. You will live in my heart and mind forever. I love you. Your sister, Margaret "Margie" (you always called me Margaret). God bless.
