Not sure what to say?

The years have past, the wonderful memories remain. The lose is as real as the day it happened. My love for you has not deemed. I never imagined life passing without you here on this earthly plane by my side, it has been tough. I know in my heart that when I leave this earthly plane I will be with you again. Until I see you and we have our next dance know my heart and love remain with you. I love you and am grateful for every memory. I´m especially thankful for the love you had for me. Until...

A month has gone by already and still feel like it's a bad dream that you're gone. We all wish you were still here. You'll never be forgotten.

Love,
The Leal family

Fernando, getting to know you over the last few years has been nothing but a pleasure. You have given so much to Nancy and MJ over the last few years, and for that I am so very thankful. As a doctor, you had a special gift for helping others. I felt the effects of this firsthand in that every time I would come over to visit MJ, I felt as if I was welcomed into your house with open arms. Sharing those holiday meals together meant so much to me in that I knew I was a part of your family...

I didn't realize how much you had touched my life. Thanks for being my friend. You will be missed.

What a wonderful person you were. You touched so many lives and I was so blessed to be able to share just a couple of years with you. You were the true definition of showing kindness to others, while also loving them in return. I never dreamed that my mother would end up marrying my own pediatrician ( not to say that it's a bad thing ) but it is a sign from God that we were meant to cross paths. I will never forget the memories our family shared. You were the closet thing to a father that I...

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The goodtimes that made us laugh
Now make me glad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I don't know where this road
Is gonna lead to
All I know is what we had
And the love we shared.

When I see you again in some tomorrow
I know it will be worth the wait
But my love, my soul-mate, it's so hard to say goodbye to...

We are very sad to find out about Dr. Rustia. My son Alfredo would
always remember him. He was very special. His late father was
named just like my son. My son first was seen by him since he was
five and now he almost fourteen. We have lost a great person,
human being and excellent doctor who always treated his patients as his own family, Rest in peace and God be with family.

WOW!!! We can't believe this.. we just received our letter ... I am in shock... We only saw Dr. Rustia for a year in a half while my husband was deployed.. and I couldn't have asked for a better Dr. for our Twins. He will be dearly missed..

Dr. Rustia was a phenomenal pediatrician. I just read the letter from Aurora today & cried out as my family came running to see what was the matter, I simply stated Dr. Rustia died and than I cried. He has been an integral part of our lives for at least 10 years and our boys are now almost 17 and 15. He was the most compassionate and caring doctor and his vast knowledge was very helpful in taking care of our boys. Aurora has lost a fine physician, but most importantly our prayers are with...
