We worked together for 4 1/2 years and it was a friendship from the beginning. The night before you passed that last conversation stays in my head...always looking out for me. I pass by often always saying hello never goodbye. I still cry when people talk about you. Keep blessing us. Until we meet again.....I LOVE YOU:)

Kathleen] and Lionel at Kejailah's party.
My Goodness. This picture shows me and you less than three weeks before you were gone. You're my oldest cousin on my mom's side of the family who lived here in Boston, and you're someone who I could and always did look up to. It was such a shock and, to have two deaths in the family.. this is so hard.
I Love you Lionel Avila [ Chichi ]
you're always in our hearts.

Wow Lionel I just received the news today & I'm still in shock! It had been so long since we last saw eachother! & it sucks to know I'll never see you again. I'll never forget that smile & those times spent in Franklin Hill. I remember my crush for you when I was a little girl, but I was to young & you used to tell me "turn 18 already beautiful" *smiles* & everytime we'll see eachother you always asked me "are you 18 yet?" Lol I will never foget you Lionel..My deepest condolences goes out to...
