One of the best friends and cousin anyone can have. He was born next door. He was a cool guy. My parting words to Nano are : May the blessings and the graces of Jesus Christ and of his mother, the blessed Virgin Mary. May they descend upon you, and may they remain with you for all eternity. Amen . I will always remember you . Richard Gomez

Dear Mary:
It was with great sadness that I read Mono's obituary Saturday morning . I extend my deepest sympathy to you and the girls.
I still have vivid memories of our times when we attended Texas Western ( as it was called then) back in the late 50's and one day as you and I were walking to class, along comes a real good looking guy cruising around in a blue car. We later learned he called it "My Blue Heaven". I believed the first words out of your mouth were : " esta bien mono!" -- and so the name stuck and those who knew Fernando referred to him affectionately as Mono -- your tribute to him.
I pray that the Good Lord will grant you serenity and resignation to His Will as we know that in a physical sense, death is the future for all of us. But emotionally, nothing dies that is remembered and Mono will live in your hearts as you think of him every day with love.
As the holidays approach, may the Lord wrap your homes with love and prosperity, your family with harmony and understanding and your hearts with happiness and love ---- in his honor.
