I wish I could have stood up @ the service to say this but it was just too hard..... my father was my best friend! He was the smartest person I have ever known... the best cook,and has such a dry humor... I loved all these things and so many more about him... I was so lucky to have a parent who always loved me unconditionally... he knew me, and I knew him, and we both knew how much we loved one another, and no matter how stubborn we would get at times because we are so much alike neither one of us would know what to do without each other. I am so proud to say he was my Dad!!! I am so proud of him and everything he taught me throughout the years... as it said in the Obituary you were lucky to have known him. God bless all of you for your love, prayers, and kindness.....rest in peace my Daddy.... I love you! God Bless you!

Maria,

I just found out today, that your Dad, Tony, passed. Please accept my sympathy in your time of grief. I think of you often and know how much you love your Dad. He will live on through you and those whose lives he touched. Moose really liked Tony and the thought of them possibly hooking up in Heaven to guard the Pearly Gates, brings a smile. I love you Maria and God Bless Tony for raising such a loving daughter.

Dearest Brother,
May Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us.

This time you preceded me in death as you did in life.

Genesis* 6:(1-4)
"And it happened as humankind began to multiply over the earth and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were comeley, and they took themselves wives however they chose. And the Lord said, "My breath shall not abide in the human forever, for he is but flesh. Let his days be a hundred and tweny years." The Nephilim were then on the earth, and afterward as well, the sons of God having come to bed with the daughters of man who bore them children: they are the heroes of yore, the men of renown."
(*Robert Alter's translation of the Torah, 2004)
