My mom made caldo de pollo today & I thought about you. I remembered how you loved her caldo do pollo & albondigas, you'd always tell her to put alot of papas in the soup. While she was cooking, we watched a movie & I thought to myself, you'd be sitting here with us on a day like this. I miss you so much Grandpa. My heart aches for you. This is the worst thing I've ever gone through. I can't wait to see you waiting for me at heaven's gates <3

I think about you all the time Grandpa. I miss you so much! Little things remind me of you every day. It's hard to not feel sad, you were in my life every day. What do you do when a big part of your life is missing? This Thanksgiving was especially hard. I really dont think I'll ever enjoy Thanksgiving or Christmas like I used to with you. Last year I went shopping with you for all the great grandkids, just me and you. That is one of my favorite memories. I had fun with you. I miss being with you, going shopping, going to the movies, or out to eat, I especially miss going to your appt & watching movies just me and you. I find solace in my memories. I have lots of beautiful memories with you. I love with all my heart Grandpa. I miss you. I can't wait to see you in heaven my sweet angel <3

George & Timmy,
I will always remember your dad from the days at El Gabilan. He always joked with us kids and made sure we always ate. I don't think there was ever a time me & my cousin Mark Garcia went to your house and were not offered food. Your dad will always be remembered for his hospitality & good natured fun.

There never seems to be the right words for the passing of a family member, especially George "Jr". I was thinking back in the day when we visited Aunti & Uncle and all our cousins in Watsonvile. Jr. always laughing and clowning around. Later in years he always attended our family gatherings whether it be weddings, gambling at Chumash or watching our son Mike's band "Steppin Out" perform at the Elks. I remember Jr. requested Mike to sing "Beat It" and they did just for him. We're going to miss you terribly Jr. but we have so many fun and beautiful memories of our times together. At least now you are no longer in pain and you are with other family angels above. Love and condolences to the family.
