Jose has finally gone to be with Alicia, Joe, Julian, Anita, Chucho, Niko and the other family members that have gone before him. There must be quite party, argument, and good time going on! Yes, it is sad that Jose has left this world, but a comfort to know he is not alone and is in good company!!! Saludos y nos vemos otra vez.

Sincere sympathy to your family. Please take comfort in these words, that God is near to those who are broken at heart (especially when we love someone so much in death) and those crushed in spirit he saves. -Psalms 34:18 I am deeply sorry that Jose has fallen asleep in death.

Tata you have given us so many good memories of our time with you. Your love was unconditional, your wisdom wise, your laughter comforting. You will forever be in our hearts always. Your time with us was endless, but now you are with our Heavenly Father and all the other who have gone before you. We know you will not be lonely, but you will be ever so missed. One day we will all be together again and continue our great memories of our times together. Tata we love and miss you always.
Love Lichita (what you used to call me) Cynthia, Regina, Joseph (whom I named after you) Fernando, Nikolas and Sophia. Till we see each other again.

Tia Elena,
Our prayers are with your dad, with you, and the family. Your dad must have been so proud of you,and so grateful. For the times that you to cooked, cleaned, ironed, and still make time for your own household. I know you would have not wanted it any other way, because it was all done out of such love for the well being of your father. May you find peace in Christ, as he knows every heartache you experience. For Christ alone, will bring you true peace. We love you very much.

My Tata loved to tell stories and we all loved to sit and listen to him tell, amazed how he remembered each date and never got the details.
He will be greatly missed by our family. Im glad to have been named after him.
Love you Tata
