Dear Tata,
You have been gone for 4 1/2 years now, i can't even believe how long it has been..I go on everyday thinking about you, there isn't one second that i live that you aren't on my mind. I really miss you, and i wish that i could bring you back but that won't happen..My brother just graduated&I really wished that you would be there for it but you weren't. Also, mine is next year but i know you will be watching me from heaven. I remember all of the good memories we had together like sitting down on the floor with my big purple pillow eating sunflower seeds watching t.v. those were the good times.. Well, someday i will be up there in Heaven with you..
I love you Tata
P.S. watch over me, you are the GREATEST
Love Always,
Taylor Baldenegro

Ruben it has been a year, that you have been gone, and the pain does not get any less, it is so painful to watch my kids and grandkids and knowing that you are not here to see them grow, I watch Brandon play and wish so bad that you were there to see him. life is so unfair, my feeling get hurt so easy, sometimes I wish it should have been me instead of you. We think of you every day and it does not get any easier. We miss you dearly

It's been 2 months Dad, and it's still hard to believe that you won't come walking through the door again. I will miss your help making the tamales and other goodies for the holidays. I think of you each day and remember all of the thoughtful things you did. I hope you know how much you were appreciated and loved. I miss you very much.

Dear Ruben......it is hard to believe that you are not down in Chandler tonight with family or friends having a good time. It is hard to be separated for now, but you left them and all your friends many happy memories. When we had our best conversation, I think of the family gathering a few years ago. It was at the clubhouse near Kim and Eddies other home. Your Mom and Connie's Mom were both there... you were your usual smiling self, and when we talked, you were so excited that your Mom had cooked a special dish that was a favorite of mine.....I was so honored..and it was so special. Everyone was very happy at the celebration, and you and I had a good talk. Please know that Larry and I remember the kind, smiling friend named Ruben, a man we will never forget. Goodbye for now, Naomi and Larry

It's hard to believe Dad has been gone one month. Casy and I went to Seattle on the bus last week, I cried because Dad and I took our yearly bus trip to Seattle every August for the last 20 years. I am thankful for all the memories I have of spending time with Dad. Though I know he's in a wonderful place-Heaven, I wish he was still here with us. I miss him.

Dad,
It's been one month today since you left us, but seems like much more. We feel empty without you, and are having difficulty adjusting... I miss your smile and your little faces that you always made. They made me laugh. I am so happy that you are part of my life, forever. I will see you again someday.
Love,
Kim

Dad some of my best summers were spent hanging around San Marcos with you. Even when I look back today, it just seems like yesterday, you were out practicing like no tommorow. Although you never had to say I love you, I could tell by your actions that we had a special relationship. You never pushed me in to something I never wanted to do, but yet you were always supportive. I can only hope that I can be as good to my kids as you were to all of us. Your the first true close person that I have lost, and the pain I feel each day is difficult. I am glad that you spent the time that you did with me, and my family. My kids, wife and myself will miss you dearly. I hope the golf club that was burried with you is one that you can use! If your mad, please be mad at Sylvia as she is the one that picked it out. I would have sent you your favorite putter. Anyways dad, I look forward to meeting with you again some day. We will always be thinking of you. And don't worry I will keep the two Sneakies in line.
Love your Son (Eddie)

Dad- I love you more than you could ever know. You were my "Dad" when I didn't have one and still my Dad even when I did. I will always hold the most special place in my heart for you. I will remind my children of you when they can't remember anymore. Memories of cooking on the grill and how you loved those baked beans. Memories of how you used to call Isabelle "tiny bubbles", Isaac "sponge head" and when Bianca was a tiny baby , how you called her little kitty cat. And my favorite memory of how you would pay me a quarter for every gray hair I could find & as the years went on & the # of gray hairs grew, that quarter would turn to a dime then a knickel then finally a penny. You were the sweetest grandfather anyone could have asked for, but more importantly the best Dad I'll ever have. I love you, Dad. Rest in peace

We will miss you; over the past four years that Ruben lived with us he had become an integral part of our lives; our home will never be the same. I found it very satisfying and rewarding to have gotten to know my father-in–law. Having lived with us aloud him and my son to develop a special bond. I feel very fortunate that my son and his Tata became so close, there will always be a little part of Ruben in my son and I thank him for that. I used to watch them play for hours and no matter what the (kid) wanted to do Ruben always said yes, I would get jealous at times watching how close they became over the years but when you saw how happy they were together it made it all worth it. Once again thanks Ruben for being there for my son you will be missed.

We had many great years as friends, and people called us the three amigos.Our summers on the deck and those tequila nights will never be forgotten Amigo. Blondie
I think you played your last round of golf with me, and I consider that an honor. Your swing was still golden, even if your scoring was higher than normal. I played cards and dominos with you and soon found out that you were unbeatable, because you could count every point or card and knew where those points were. I always looked forward to your yearly visit, now I'll look forward to playing golf in heaven with you. I'll bet those courses will be beyond belief. Everyone has to make that journey from this life to the next life, and I rejoice in knowing you are with God. Thanks for sharing part of your life with me. BOB
