Chucho,
You were such an amazing husband, dad, and grandpa! The love you had for your family was unparalleled. You will be greatly missed. I am so blessed that I got to meet you. I'm so glad that you get to be with the love of your life now.
Rest peacefully.

Grandpa, I think the greatest form of love is memories shared so I am going to remind you of some from when i was a wee pup in grade school. When BG was working and could not pick me up you would fill in a scoop me up in the ol red truck. Every time I would get in the car, you would point to any girl who would walk by and ask me if she was my girlfriend. I would say "eww grandpa no you think every girl is my girlfriend," and you would always point to the girl and point to me then point to your eyes and say i saw you guys looking at each other then make kissing noises. It used to drive me crazy because you did it every time, then on the car ride home you would tell me how to talk to girls and how they liked flowers, hugs, and guys who liked to dance. Well grandpa I know how to buy flowers, and can sometimes hug, but I could never figure out the whole dance thing. Two out of three ain't bad, it landed me Sara so thanks for the advice. Love Lil Kenny.

Carlos, my friend...your family has made me feel so graciously welcome...and, after talking to those that knew your parents and seeing your family's love through pictures, I do understand how awesome your parents were. It is comforting to know that someday we will all be together reminiscing over the good times we had on this earth. Cathy

Dear Dad,
I want to thank you for having been such a wonderful father. You were the kind of man and father that others can only dream about emulating. I will forever treasure the memories of you, and keep you close to my heart. Please rest in peace with mommy, and may God bless you.
Love,
Carlos

Flaco,
I will always cherish our beautiful memories together. The times we sang, laughed, danced, whistled, and joked together. The first time I met you, you were wearing an Eskimo coat fixing your car. You had the biggest smile on your face and you embraced me. From that moment, I loved you. I've been so blessed to have you in my life. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being an amazing father full of love and joy. I'm going to miss you so dearly. It hurts so much to see you leave, but there's comfort in our hearts that you are now in paradise united with your sweetheart. Give mija a huge hug and kiss for me.
Love you so much,
Zulma

Chucho,
I will miss you and our times we spent eating out at the Cracker Barrel and Tacos El Norte. The memories of a wonderful family man and a father that knew how to show his family how to love others. The way you and Chelo always treated me, like I was one of your own children will be something that I will always cherish. I know since the day that Chelo left to prepare your heavenly home, you could not wait till you could rejoin her again. So with this thought I'm so very happy to know you and Chelo are together again.
Love always your son-in-law

Grandpa Chucho,
When I think of you, I think of a hardworking, loving, and hilarious man. You always put your family before yourself and that is something that I will always keep with me. I can only hope that I can be half the man that you were. You were the biggest joker around. I remember you always caught Nick and I sneaking into the basement, spinning on the stool, and going upstairs to be nosy. Memories that I will cherish forever. Yes, I am sad that you are gone, but I am happy knowing you are in heaven with the woman that you loved with all of your heart. I love you Grandpa. Forever and Always.

Dearest Grandpa,
It was only a few weeks ago that I went to visit you. The smile on your face when you recognized I was there truly made me feel special. That's how you have always made everybody feel. You have taught me so many valuable lessons over the years; some family values and others life skills. I can remember you teaching me how to kick a soccer ball correctly (a skill I never really perfected) and yelling on the sidelines at my hockey games (louder than my father). Your love for dancing and singing is something I will hold so dearly for the rest of my life. It's because of you and all the times we watched Sigin' in the Rain together that I got so involved in theater. I will forever cherish all the moments we have had together. You are my hero. I am so glad that God made me your granddaughter. I miss you and I love you! Please give grandma and hug and kiss for me! Then you can go back to dancing with her in heaven!
With much love!
From one Jessi to another Jesse

I am so sorry for you loss. The death of a love one is very difficult. Therefore, I'd like to share scripture that may help. Please, read John 6:40, 44

Grandpa
I will never forget the family values you have instilled in all of us, the laughs we have shared, the love you had for Grandma and the rest of your family and most importantly...not to spin on the foot stool in the living room (I know you are smiling down from heaven laughing at that one.)
I can't explain how much I have already missed you and how hard it is to say goodbye. I love you Grandpa, you will live in our hearts forever.
p.s. Give Grandma a hug and a big smooch for me!
Love,
Nicko

What can I say boy? You could light up a room like no other. I'm going to miss you so much. You definitely kept everyone on their toes when you were in the same room. The immense love for the family is something that you wore on your sleeve with extreme pride. I'm going to miss that loud laugh of yours. I'll be sure to pass on your teachings of family strength onto my own since I know you worked so hard on it. I'm so proud to say that you were my grandfather and that I had your back when you needed it the most. Have fun with mama up there cause I know that's all you've thought about every day for the last 3 years. I love you and am going to miss you so badly.
Love tu nieto, Anthony
