Padrino Nicho, another year has passed since our Lord God has called you home; another year that you are remembered often and missed a whole lot by us on Earth. The memories of you has kept you alive in our hearts, and more so now that you have your beloved Ramona, and Norma. You are so loved. Prayers for your continued rest in peace.

Hello padrino. You were probably smiling as you watched me visiting you from the road on that last heavy snowfall in March. I wasn't being lazy. I just couldn't see where you were under all the snow. I took a mental image of the beautiful panoramic view that day. The next time this month I had my grandkids and the latest, it was raining and again I had my grandkids. I think of you regularly especially when I visit my mother close by. I have lit a candle for you with prayer for eternal...

I was at my Madrina, Julia DeLaRosa's 100th year old birthday Saturday and there was a gentleman with a guitar that played and sang, "Las Mañanitas" for her. As I sat next to her listening to the song, I could not help but think of Dad the year his brothers surprised him with their recording of themselves singing, "Las Mañanitas to him on tape the day of his birthday years earlier. All of a sudden tears started streaming down my face uncontrollably leaving me very embarrassed. I felt like...

recalling my childhood with nicho blanco and family: when i was 4 yrs old, my padrino
nicho was so tickled seeing melva react in a jealous way
by throwing herself across the bed to cry because he sat me
on his lap and expressed how
cute i was that he took me
over so i could see melva was
upset; i learned how to play
card games as we watched
john wayne movies with him n
norma in the many years I slept over; my brothers n I were included...

May my Godfather and great friend rest in peace forever in God's blessed kingdom. I hope he helps lighten our sorrows with the many years of beautiful memories and bring to our lips and hearts the same smile he wore so well and radiate the wath as in the sparkle in his eyes. I am here for you, Madrina, Cynthia, Melva, Norma, Dionicio Jr and families. I loved my padrino and continue to love him in memory as I love all of you.

I cannot believe that tomorrow it will be a year since you have been gone.I miss you so much! I receive comfort remembering at times how relaxed and content you were with life. You seemed to love everything about your life! In your older years you would look back on life and wished you could have lived the whole thing over again just the way you did the first time around, changing nothing. Wow! May we all come to learn contentment in life as you showed with your life....
