Hello Dogg, I just wanted to tell you I love you and miss you soooo much; obviously. Life is very boring without you here, although, I feel your presence daily. I so do wish I could touch your precious hands, or; see your beautiful smile. I do know you are there, but like all humans, I want the real deal, YOU!!!!!!!!!
Love you Dogg, Dogg

Hi Monica...
I just wanted to let you know I've been missing you. You were like a big sister to me. Thank you for letting me go through your makeup bag when I was little, and letting me hang around in your room with you. Most teenagers wouldn't have wanted their little cousins hanging around bugging them, but you were always so cool with us!!!
I always thought you had the coolest room. I'm so glad for the memories I have of growing up with you for an older cousin. I am so sad that I didn't get to see you at Fiesta Grande. I had left before you got there. I hadn't seen you in so long.
Thanks for the talks you always had with me and my sister. I remembered every word of advice you gave us.
Thanks for walking us all to Manzo to play at the playground.
Thanks for the laughs we shared at work. I can't hear that "Silly Love Song" anymore without thinking of you! You said my dad sang like Paul McCartney and I thought that was so cool! I still have that Beetles music book, you know. I finally got around to learning most of "Maybe I'm Amazed". Someday I'll be able to play it for you. Then again, I'm sure you've already been listening.
I miss you!

Helloooo Dogg!!!
Today is Halloween. I can't believe that You are not here to spend it with us. Dogg, I miss you more than any words could describe. I know i am being selfish, but I can't help the fact that I love you more than life itself. My pain is agonizing, and I hope I can get through this. Your beautiful and most awesome kids keep me going. Dogg, I love you with all my heart and soul, please ask if you can bring a friend. Until then, I wait ever so patiently. Mi vida

Hi Dogg!!!!!!
Just wanted to say ROOP-ROOP!!!
Mona, I utterly miss you. I have never experienced such pain in my entire life until now. It burns and aches all the way down to my soul.
Every single day, I try to live my life without losing control. It scares me, those moments when I can't see straight or think rationally. I try desperately to not give in. I know that I have a reason and purpose in life, but at times I want you near me, I want to touch you, I want to hear your angelic voice, I want to make to laugh so I can see your comforting smile. Dogg, I have yet to scratch the surface in dealing with your leaving us. So many emotions racing through my head on a constant basis,
and it never, and I mean NEVER, let's up. I truly believe that you have sent your gardian angels to
watch over me. For i would be com-
pletely lost. Dogg, please continue to watch me, because I'm very scared
of what is to come. I fear the day that I completely come to terms with the fact that you are not here anymore. I'm just not ready to face that right now. It's like I'm waiting for you to return from some
venture. My brain refuses to believe
otherwise. I'm waiting for you Dogg.
Love your bestfriend and soul-
mate.... Dogg (Rosanna)

hello,
well, there's isn't much to say to you mom. Thank you mom. A lot of people will regret not saying their final goodbyes to you but not me. For the FIRST time in my memory, you had given me a hug, a kiss on the cheek, and said you love me. Sure you said things like this before, but not with the same tone as the last time we talked. I'll miss you mom and I love you. Watch over us all.

Fernando Sr, Robert, Corrina, Fernie, and baby Fernie. My prayers and deepest sympathys. I can't believe you're gone. I'm still in disbelief. I remember the good times we had at Tucson High, the Marching 100. We were neighbors for a long long time, spent a lot of good times hanging out. We watched our kids, grow, and play together, that was always fun. I will miss your smile, your sense of humor, how we laughed. Thank you for all the make-up tips. (You were my favorite make-up associate at Walgreen's). You'll be missed. Until we meet again. Save me some Pepsi. ;)

Hey Monica,
I have lots of great memories of you, and they are all great ones! I would have to say my favorites of the last 2 weeks you were with us would have to be our long drawn out convos trying to talk about how well your children were doing and what things they still needed to work on. I keep remembering how we went grocery shopping on the 1st of the month and were having so much fun talking and laughing. We shared so much that day then I surprised you by taking you to Cold Stone Creamery for the first time! You were so excited and indecisive! I told you that there could be no more crying until you finished it. You picked out raspberry sherbet with pineapples and graham cracker crust! WOW! (It was good too!) I'm sure you already know, but you told me I needed to take your father there and we went there this past weekend. (He enjoyed himself). There were quite a few days when I asked you if I could watch you apply your makeup and you happily sat there once at the kitchen table with me and once on your father's bed and I would just sit there amazed. I remember recently how I took you shopping for david's funeral and wake, we went to two stores and finished shopping in 2 hours! You told me "In the past few day you have made me feel more confident and pretty, you gave me make up so I could start feeling more like myself again. I can't thank you enough! No, monica, THANK YOU for letting me help you when things aren't all they could be for we wouldn't be complete without you or without our friends and family. In the past 2 years you have made a big impact on my life and I will never forget you. I may have mentioned all the things I've done for you, but you did so much more for me. So many memories and not enough time to write them down. With only knowing you for two years those were only memories from 2 weeks . . .imagine how many memories your family have. . .I can't wait to hear them. As long as we are here on this earth we will never let your children forget you, for when we look at them we see you . . .and we will always remind them of that.

My Monikiki!
I am happy that you are in peace,
finally with your mama.
I'll never forget the first time I saw you when you were born. I was so excited! You were such a friend to all and inherited the kind loving spirit that everyone felt.
I remember you as a baby dancing to the icecream trucks music in the street. I remember the little girl in church along with my brother and all the little cousins all loving the hymn Come with Me that hubie sang in church. You loved it so much that hubie had to sing it over and over for you and the rest of the kids!
Uncle Dando, Fernie, Dennis, Corrina and little Fern, I love you so much. I pray that God give you the grace to endure all you have. We are here for you. God bless you all.
Love Leeshee

We miss you, Monica. Thanks for teaching me how to put on make-up just right! We thought you were the coolest when we were little kids, taking out all your make-up out of your bag and trying it on. And I had fun with you that year we worked together. I don't think I ever told you that. Ha...you know...everyone is gonna read this, but, I have to say it...you were the FIRST person I told when my mom bought me my first bra!!!! I don't think I ever told you that either. LOL! I'll miss you! Teach the angels how to properly apply foundation, okay? Sponge only!
Love,

Monica,
I will always remember the last time I saw you. We were all at the Hollywood street fair and you and David looked so good. I still can see you in that halter dress you looked so pretty!! Your Mom must be so happy to have you back with her again. You were her first born and now you are back together. Tell your Mom that I love her and I'm so happy for you both. I know that your husband is very happy too!!
I love you.
