My Son:
Happy Birthday to you Hito.
50 years ago today you were brought into this world, one of the most
happiest days in my life, watching you crawl for the first time, standing
up and learning how to take your first step towards being a young man.
Son as you know you are greatly missed but always in our heart. Hito Carin &
I will be out this week-end to tend to your garden weather permitting. I hope & pray that you are celebrating your birthday with your sister have fun.
Hito Dad's at work so I wanted to send Birthday Wishes to you, so on that note
Always in Dad's thoughts and prayers
Love & Miss you Lots

Good Evening Gabriel,
It has been a little cooler with drizzle of rain this evening. Can't complain, we need the moisture but, the days have been so sunny and warm so far.
I'm sure has been a constant perfect weather up where you are and not as seasonal as ours.
I know you are watching what has been going on down here with alot of different things happening down here.
And just unsure what the future holds is uncertain down here. You are probably shaking your head and wondering too.
With everything going on with our status of our government and our lives, you are never forgotten, you are included in our daily happy thoughts and our conversations.
Glad to know you do confirm that you are still with us with your little signs.
So we never forget that you are in our hearts n thoughts forever.

Son
So hard to believe it's been 21 years since The Lord took you to be with him, there is not a day that goes by missing you dearly. Son as usual it's one of those somber days that Dad has through-out the year not sure which is the most somber but either way it still hurts. Son Dad & Carin will be out soon to groom your garden here shortly. Knowing how much you enjoyed fishing well Carin & myself started up again for this year and doing well thinking about you while we are out there knowing how thrilled & excited you got every-time you caught, so on the other hand we get excited when we catch by the way Dad fishes with your pole quite a bit & it brings me luck all the time I think knowing your casting along with Dad. Well Hito Dad's at work so I've got to get busy just wanted to let you know Dad & Carin are thinking about you this day & everyday so with that Dad will talk at you soon. Your always in our thoughts & prayer.
Miss you Lots

Good Morning Gabriel,
Its a beautiful morning for you and remembering the day you left us behind to go to a better place of love and peace. I'm sure you have been looking down on us everyday through out the year and seen there has been alot of events going on with all our lives. It has been a busy year but, not too busy to remember you on this day as well as every day.
Thinking of you and special moments spent with you from time to time and doppelgangers popping up every so often that makes me do a "double take" thinking its you and certain expressions you use to make depending on what was going on that particular day.
Cannot believe how much time has passed it seems like only yesterday we last saw and talked with you about sports or various subjects.
I see your lovely smile on all the pictures we have of you displayed in your memorial area here at home. It makes me smile and special thoughts of what was happening on that day of the picture.
Spring is here and def be cleaning up your area soon.
Until next time.
With xoxoxo Carin

Hi Hito, it's Auntie Jeanette. Truly time stands still for no one. It's beenyears yesterday of your passing. So many memories of you. I always think of how you were your Nana's little sidekick. Must be beautiful up there especially since you are with your Nana, Papa, Nino and Art. So much has changed, so many cousins you never got to meet. Isaac posted your DVD memoriam on my FB post yesterday. And all the pictures of you growing up thru the years, I see so much of you in my Grandson, especially my Malekai. But also so much resemblance in all your cousins. You are truly missed but never forgotten. Rest east my Handsome Nephew. Give Nana, Papa and Nino hugs and kisses. Until we meet again. Love Auntie Jeanette.

Hi Gabriel,
What a beautiful day in memory of you and from all the cold and rain storms we had past few weeks.
This is Spring! Time has past so quickly and can't believe it's been 20 yrs since you have been gone.
Missing you every day and in alot of little things we do in remembrance of the time you loved doing too.
As time goes on things have changed across the world and in our every day lives as you are probably observing from where you are up above.
You know you are never forgotten and will always reside in our hearts forever.

Hi Gabriel,
So sorry missed writing to you on Xmas day. Been so busy with cooking and prepping for dinner and day with the family. You are never out of mind, always thought of at different times of the day. There are a lot of little things that remind me of you, what you would say on a certain subject or sometimes there are people that I run across that have a certain look or gesture that I would remind me of you. There has been a couple of times I could of sworn it was your look-a-like from a side view or back view or sometimes a hairstyle that you wore at different stages through out the past years. So you see you are always in site in some way or form to note you are always around.
Talk to you later gator.
Miss you & always

Merry Christmas Gabriel,
Here it is another year rolling around with memories of you at this time of the year. You loved this day, remembering how you loved to decorate with lights around your place inside and outside. And how you loved to shop for gifts, wrapping, and opening your gifts received. How you used to get excited for this special day. Now a memory as each year rolls around and sadness you are no longer on this earth to share with us, your loved ones, and friends. But bring a smile to my face remembering the good times spent with you. But I do feel your loving spirit strong at different times of the year and know you are with us. The new year will be rolling around soon, will talk to you again soon.

Merry Christmas to you Gabriel,
Was very busy day yesterday, so sorry I didn't get to write to you yesterday, as you know always the day of cooking and last minute wrapping before heading out to meet the family and extended family for Xmas dinner It doesn't mean you were lost in thought, cooking with you in mind always because you loved eating with family and especially you looked forward to holiday meals so much because of variety of dishes offered and of course the best for last, dessert, then opening gifts came second. We miss seeing your smiling face across the table but, now we know you are smiling down on us.
With love in our hearts for you, I will talk to you later.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Gabriel,
Thanksgiving is not the same without you sitting at the table with us, remembering you filling up your plate with so much food that you can't even see the actual plate. That is how I remember you on Turkey Day, and then you would wait a little bit before you went back for seconds, and drink a full glass of water to fill in all the empty spaces in your tummy. Do you remember saying that? It always bring a smile to my face when I think of you saying that phrase. That is one thing I will always remember and treasure those words because it was your unique way of saying why you would drink water after a full meal. It's always good to have these great thoughts of you even though you are here but, not physically here. We often wonder what your life would be like today if you were still here on earth with us. Gives me peace to know you are at peace and watching from above, celebrating still but, in a different way now. With love in my heart and good thoughts of you always.

Gabriel,
In remembrance of you today when you left us, is a sad day because missing you, missing your smile/laughter when you were "on top of the world" as you would say. Now you are on top of the world, can't get any higher than where you are. Years have passed so quickly, yet it seems like yesterday. There isn't a day that passes without the wonderful thoughts of you having a good time and see that big smile on your face. I know you are in better place than we are and in a care free world surrounded by angels, Desiree and passed loved ones. Remembering you today and everyday.

Merry Christmas Gabriel,
Sun was shining this morning and now looks cold and windy. Yesterday was a nice and fairly warm day, we finally got out to see you.
This time of the year is sad that you are not physically here to spend time with us and your friends but, we feel you spiritually and I picture you sitting at the table loving your dinner, seconds, and on occassion thirds. You would always look forward to dessert even though you were full from eating too much from dinner. Just reminiscing about how things used to be with you in my thoughts during this holiday. Missing your smiling face. Will talk to you later.

Thank you for that!! Anyway with that being said Dad wanted to make an entry letting you know you are always on Dad's mind.

Good Morning My Son:
First off let Dad wish you a "Happy Birthday" 41 years young and celebration of your life. Son yesterday "Birthday Eve" Dad was sitting in his recliner and a thought came across my mind "my Son is 41 years old" and thinking what your life would be like today if you were here physically, so many thoughts in Dad's mind. Knowing that you are in a better place eases my mind, but you are missed greatly and everyday. Dad and Carin will be out to visit you this afternoon. Son Dad just wanted to wish you a "Happy Birthday" and to let you know that you are thought of everyday I talk to you every morning and every night before I call it a night. Son with that Dad wants to thank you for spreading your wings over us for strength and guidance everyday. Dad's closing for now and we'll see you later this afternoon.

Hi Gabriel,
This a day to remember not when you left us here on earth but I would call it a day of "celebration of life" it represents the good life you lived and all the great remembrances that we were able to share with you. I just can't believe how many years have gone by since this day 13 years ago. Not a day goes by thinking of you and your smile and happiness that you shared with all. Every holiday I would think in what manner you would be celebrating it with me, your dad and your friends. Those were good 'ol days with good memories. Today I hope you will be celebrating your angelic life up above us and keep watch over all.

It's one of the somber days of the year but with your wings spread and your guidance above Dad will make it through this hard time.Son with the weather changing to Spring time weather warming up Dad and Carin will be visiting you to do some Spring cleaning and planting.

Merry Christmas Gabriel,
Missing you this time of year during the holidays as always, its not easy to celebrate Christmas without you physically here to share in the moment your expression of joy and our big smile when we exchange and open gifts to each other. What we do have is the wonderful memories of the joy in your heart that we shared with you during this day with spending the time with you and your friends and Xmas dinner along with gift exchanging. We (dad/myself) often think what your life would be like today if you were still were with us here on earth. Would you have a wife/chilidren living a full life as you had dreamed. It is hard to imagine "what if". All we can feel is that you will be here with us this day in spirit as we go through this day sharing with family with you at our side. You will always be at the forefront of my mind as each day passes especially during these holidays.
Love/xoxoxo

It is a beautiful day, especially here on your birthday, so with that, wishing you a "Happy Birthday" and hope you are celebrating just like you always would do when you were here with us on your special day. I can't believe that you would be 40! The years have gone by quickly and can't even fathom what you would be doing or what your life would be like to this day. There isn't a day that passes that you cross my mind. Its just sad to think that you should be here with us today but, now only in spirit. Your dad and I will make the best of this day in honor of you. Love you and miss you.

Except not the way I wish you were I just miss so much Looking at you talking with you and just having you with me that I miss so much.
But I still have not done to much and I sorry that Mom has not been going out to visit you but these past months have been very hard for me just knowing that I lost you and Art is just been way to much Heartache for me. I have been doing a little more things but nothing major I just don't know how to enjoy things like I should, but that's part of my Grieving process, just being alone is terrible I just keep thinking that I will wake up from this terrible dream and all will be the way it should be and that's you and Art are here with me but I know that you and Art have to be giving me strength to get up every morning because honestly Mom does not know how I go thru everyday but some how I do!!
But any way Son I just wanted to say hi and talk to you so you be Happy and at Peace and you take care of yourself and my ART I Love and Miss you both so Very much:

Well Son here we are again going thru the pain and Heartache of thinking of you on this May 2-when Jesus took you from us. I just have never had the complete though of you being gone, there is just to much pain and that never seems to go away or even get better, it still hurts a lot!! Mom just has a very hard time I Miss you so very much and now I have more Heartache because now I have lost Art and now that makes the 2-most Loved people in my Life gone, this is unbearable for me I just don't know how I make it thru day's, but I guess I get the strength from both of you to help me try to understand how to Live my Life which does not even make any sense to me anymore I feel like I'm walking around NUMB, Empty inside I cannot feel anything all I have is this terrible Pain in my HEART!!! And now all I can do is write and send messages and at night before I go to sleep I talk and PRAY that you can hear me, and just know that MOM misses you more than words can say and I carry you always in my HEART!!! So all I can do and say is be Happy and Peaceful with your Life which you now share with My ART. Tell all my Loved One's I send my Love to All of You and miss you all very much.
I will be out tomorrow to visit you on this Blessed Day for you and Jesus but a very Pain full Day for Mom and all that Loved You.

Good morning my Angel:
First I want to wish you a Happy Easter, that will be this Sunday but not going to be doing much this Holiday reminds me of the Last Holiday we had together!!
So probably spent the day with Brother and Veronica, Brother just celebrated his birthday so we plans to go up the Hill and have lunch and do a little gambling, I think this will be good since Mom has not done much of anything since I lost Art, this just has be more broken hearted and so much Pain cant even explain how I feel just empty inside!! So Sunday is Easter and that was the Day Jesus rose for the Dead and went to his Father so this will be a glorious and Wonderful Day In Heaven. The Day Jesus and his Father became ONE: So Son you have a Wonderful celebration and I will be thinking of you like I do every day, just always remember I Love you Miss you Everyday and you are always in my HEART:
All MY Love to you Son:

You are always in my Heart all my Love to You Always XOXOX

Good morning my Angel:
Well here we are again back at work, boy the weekends go by fast. Any way Son, sorry for not going out yesterday, Im just not up to doing anything, I just get up go to work and home and on the weekends all I do is stay home, just don't have the drive to get out and start doing things. But I have flowers in the house for you and Art, Mom is still in shock and depressed about Art passing. All this just does not make sense to me all I do is hope that when I wake up this will all be a really bad dream, but its not that is what upsets Mom so much, that I have lost so much and I cannot get any of it back. The pain I feel is double HEARTACHE there is such a emptiness in my HEART,
But I just want you to know that you are always with me and I think of you everyday along with Art: So I hope that things are going good with you, and how is your NANA and Grandpa you now have lots of company I always worried about you before with no one with you, but I know that was not true you had all the most Beautiful people with you and who can watch and take better care of you then Jesus. So all I want is for you to watch over Mom and help me as much as you can because Mom needs a lot of help>
So closing for now and you take good care of yourself and help Art adjust to his new Life:
All My Love to you Son
LOVE MOM xoxoxox

Good morning my Angel:
Today is a very sad day for Mom, it is 3-mos since I lost Art, and it is very difficult for me today:
Any way I'm sure you and Art have seen each other in Heaven, and all Mom wishes for is that you take care of each other, not too sure what goes on in your World now but I know it has got to be a very pleasant, peaceful and beautiful place this is where in my Heart God takes and heals all our Heartaches and takes away all the burden that we carry in our Heart's: I just pray every day and night for you Art, Nana and Grandpa just cannot believe that God has taken all of you, but it's not for us to understand just try to live with God's plan. I know right now I have so much Heart ache but hopefully God, Art and you Son will help Mom get thru all this, it is unbearable what I feel every day, seems like it just continued on from you. This is just way Life is for Mom.
But Son tell Art that I have sent you a message that I Love and Miss all of you and Please watch over Mom and give me strength to except what I cannot understand, so for now I will be closing but I will write you again soon:
All My Love

I dont know how I have made it through another Death of a Loved one this just seems like a very very bad DREAM!!! And I cannot seem to get a grip on LIFE I have so much Pain right now that I cannot even think. All i do is ask my self is WHY does this keep happeining to ME!! I know that with time I will be able to look at things different but right now I cannot make any sense out of all this. And Iam so sorry for not going out to visit you but the Weather has been terrible and than I had Art's Services and than just trying to get myself together has been quite a chore for me. But if the weather is good this weekend I will go out to visit you, but Mom is very sorry I have not forgot about you in fact it is just the oposite you are on my mind so much right along with Art: So Son I hope you know that as soon as Mom can get things back to normal what ever that is I will get back on a weekly visit with you> But right now I just want you and Art to watch over me and help me get through all this, because I know I cannot do this by myself. So Son you and Art stay together help each other out and always know that I LOVE YOU BOTH and I MISS YOU BOTH VERY MUCH: So Mom is closing for now but PLEASE watch over MOM I need you and ART to help me.
All My LOVE to BOth of You
LOVE MOM xoxoxox

Hi Hito,
So sorry it has been so long that I have sent you a message. Well I am sure you know that Art has now joined you, your Nana and Grandpa up in Heaven. So now your Mama really needs you to watch over her. George and Veronica are taking care of her. And all of us here are for her as well. Your Mama has truly had her share of Grief. But all of us are here for her as well. Just keep the extra special blessings coming, and we all are here for her as well. Missing and Loving you always Hito. Time goes by way to fast. But one day we will all see each other. Until that day Hito take care of My Mom and Dad and Now Art. And we will all take care of each other down here. I LOVE YOU YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW. LOVE YOU HITO.
AUNTIE JEANETTE XOXOXOXOX

Good Morning My Angel:
Well the Holidays are almost over the Last day is today New Year's Eve once that Big Ball drops we begin a new year:
Christmas was a nice quite Day the only people who came to Dinner was your Brother, Veronica and Michael, but it was very nice and that was good for Mom because I had the Flu and a really bad Cold, but I still made Dinner and sat with the one's that were there. So how was the Celebration for Jesus birthday, I could only imagine how Beautiful and Wonderful it must have been, just thinking and wondering what how things were Celebrated in your New Life,that will be something we can only think about until our time comes. And how is your Nana and Grandpa, and yes Desiree I often think about her just knowing she is the taking care of you and watching over you along with your Nana, I hope you all were together on Christmas Day:
Well Son I still have had no call or visit from our Zach, I just wish he would call and say HI but who knows why he does not, I just know that he is now going to Graduate this year I remember this because Zach is the same age as Vincent and he is graduating this year. And I hope Zach goes to College or some kind of Business School so he can secure his future, never know what will take place in the future:
As for right Now Mom is going to say
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
And I will be out this weekend to check on your Christmas decorations I will leave mine up for about another week than go clean things up;
So I will be closing for now so unitl next time:
I LOVE AND MISS YOU !!!
love you always MOM
XOXOXOX LOVE YOU

Good morning My Angel:
Well Son here we are getting ready for another Christmas Celebration, but you know Mom it's not a celebration for me to much Heartache and missing you, is just the big part of my everyday life. But I try very hard to be happy I do this for your brother becasue I know Deep in his Heart he is missing you very much: We have all gone out to your resting place and took out our Christmas Reefs and decorated as much as we could the cementary has made some changes and that affected the Small Tree that was planeted and very upset when they cut down your little Tree that was planeted the day you went home with the Lord, and now they decide to cut down Trees!!!
But I guess your Dad and Carin are taking you out a small christmas tree and going to decorate this weekend. So how is your Nana and grandpa doing I hope all of you have a Beautiful and Happy Christmas after all you will be with the most beautiful Person in the WORLD, JESUS, what more could anyone ask for. Well my Angel you have a Wonderful and Happy Celebration in Heaven your new home, and just always remember you will be in MOM'S Heart and thoughts thru this Holiday Season: So I send you all my LOVE HUGS and KISSES and just know Mom wishes more than anything that you could be here with us.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM

Happy Thanksgiving Gabriel! Here we are again, big food day and thankful blessings. Sad you are not here today to share and laugh with us but very thankful that I had the opportunity to share a special part of your life when I did and to be able to give you advice and support during your times of need. I am thankful during the times you gave me moral support with your caring ways
of being there and sharing stories that made me laugh. So today is the day we give thanks for all those special moments that mean so much to me and for that matter everyone else in this world. I will make a special plate in your honor for you today at the dinner table. Until next time.
With love in your honor,
xoxoxo Carin
