Forever missing you Dad, I´m so grateful for having you as my father in this life. You taught me so much. I have the Desiderata poem up on my office wall, remembering how much you loved it, quoted it & lived your life that way. You touched so many people´s lives. I hope that I can continue to make you proud, until we see each other again...

I still miss you so much, Dad. But I´ve been blessed to feel you close when I go for drives like you always loved to do and think of all the memories I have of you. I live in El Dorado Hills now-I wanted to move here because I know how much you loved it here. Maybe that´s why I feel you close. I also still teach in the same district you taught in, FCUSD, and will complete 8 years in August of this year. Thank you for teaching and guiding me throughout my life. Thank you for always wanting...

He will truly be missed by friends and family. I became friends with him when I started working for TERO, he was a TERO Commissioner when I started with TERO and was a TERO Commissioner for many years. He always inquired how I was doing and asked what TERO was doing every time I seen him. I valued our friendship and always enjoyed talking with him. Rest in peace my friend!

I will remember all of your stories and continue to tell and sing them to my child and future children and grandchildren. I will miss you until we are all together again. I love you uncle. Na'tida:wh xa'gya'ne' ki'xinay a:ya'wine:l whis'

To the family: I recognize the legacy that Mahlon left. Fly high and watch over us across the Earth Plane.

I miss you so much, Dad. Everywhere I go, things remind me of you. What a huge void there is without you here. The last couple months weren't great for you because of the pain and fatigue, and you couldn't hear well, but you were a champ, as you were your entire life. You fought to live through all your challenges... losing your father at a young age, beating tuberculosis even though you lost so much, including 1/2 a lung, losing your sister to TB, then your brothers....and more recently...
