It´s 4:31 am and I miss you greatly. Your birthday was on the 18th and soon the month you left us in, will arrive and I know mom is going to morn you, as she always does when she misses you. Hopefully, you can make the day a little extra brighter and hug her a little extra closer. We love you very much Grandpa.
I´m also now, 21 and wished you could have spent it with us.

Hi grandpa. I wanted to say that I´m driving everyone mad with my obsession with Halloween even though we are nowhere near and having indulged myself in YouTube videos of others showing their decorations.
Thank you for always making holidays enjoyable-with not toys or foods, but decorating every year. I´ll always remember the tradition of putting up the "Boo" and the "globe" inflatables because you knew how much I loved them.
No Halloween or Christmas is the same without you, but know that your grandkid is decorating in your absence and enjoying it to the fullest.
I love you with every fiber of my being grandpa and miss you so very much.

Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
My dear cousin Gilbert, how I will miss you. My boys will miss the role model you exemplified each day with your faith, charity and goodness. We will always remember you and all our loved ones that have passed. Till we meet again.
Love, Your Cousins
Jeanette, Joseph and Jonathan Tovar
We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an
instrument of Your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that
I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.

Little did I know that when I saw you a couple of months ago that that would be the last. You were a great friend. I will never forget those crazy LSC Halloween days. Actually I will never get the image of you in the wife beater out of my head. Lol! You were a great man and will be dearly missed. God speed my friend! See you again someday.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
Gilbert was a gentle spirited person, a kind human being and a great union brother. Rest in Peace

When I worked with Gilbert he always was a gentleman, and always kind, easygoing. I'm sorry he has left this earth so young and unexpectedly. He was a joy to know.

Romans 14:7-9
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
Alba family,
We share comfort in knowing that Tio Gilbert went peacefully and is now with the lord our father. May Gods love and the love of one another bring you peace through this difficult time.

Elyssa, dear, this had to be such a shock to you as it is to all who knew and loved your dad. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your family. Please accept our warmest condolences.
Of course you know we thought so highly of your dad. He was so very nice. Always respectful and a gentleman, with a firm and warm handshake. Always willing to help at church and in the community. He will be missed by so many and by the Noon Mass parishioners at All Saints.
Love, Josie Durán Trujillo
