Dad tomorrow will be a year since God chose you to watch over all of us here on earth. I know he chose you because of the special father, tata you were to all. I hope you are happy up in heaven as you were here on earth. I believe you are in a remarkable place where you feel no pain or sadness all you feel is joy and happiness. I ask that you continue to watch over all of us especially your grandchildren who miss you soooo much. We love and miss you everyday of the year. May you rest in peace. With all our love,

Dad, I can't believe next week will be 5 months since your death. Everyday as I pass down the hallway and see your picture I still can't believe you are gone, it almost seems like a dream. I know God chose you that day for a reason and we must accept that, but I wish you were still here with us. I know you have been watching over Lil john because of all the signs, please continue watching over all of us. Guide us through life, especially all your grandchildren. We love you and miss you. Until we meet again.
Love you,
John, Laura & Lil John

I am so sorry to learn of Luis' passing. I worked at the Desert Museum as staff in the Education Department and as a docent. Now I'm a volunteer at the museum. Luis always had a smile and a greeting (en español también!) whenever we met. I so enjoyed his smile and positive attitude, no matter what the weather or job to be done. I admired his dedication to his job and love of the museum and the Sonoran Desert. I heard he retired a short time ago and missed seeing him each day. Now I will miss him even more.

But we know that you are up in heaven with your family and I know you are as happy there as you were on Saturday. Please watch over all of us and help us through this difficult time. enjoy your beautiful garden up in heaven and most of all rest in peace. You will forever be missed and loved.
Love you always,
John, Laura, Lil John, Lil Laura and Andrea
