Guillermo Velazquez-Beaton Obituary

VELAZQUEZ- BEATON, GUILLERMO M., (December 7, 1948 - January 5, 2007) Even though your life journey was tough, you always valiantly & triumphantly battled with your health. In spite of this somehow you managed to always give unselfishly of yourself & touch the life of everyone whose path you crossed whether you knew it or not. You left a radiant & inspiring life path behind you. Little did we know that afternoon 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 beautiful 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. Although we are apart, your spirit lives within us forever in our heart. Love your sister, Martha Amelia In lieu of flowers, please send donations in his name to: The National Kidney Foundation, 2561 Coral Way, Miami, FL 33145 (305)854-5690.

Pipo, I miss you. December 7th is always a day of happiness for your birthday and extreme sadness for me. You left to soon. I miss our conversations. I miss Key Biscayne, I miss hobbie beach and our rides in the mini cooper and going to all the shows . Even after Dyalisis , you managed to find the strength to go. You developed my ability to never give up. Never quit ! Your disease made me want to study endlessly! Everyday I practice medicine I do it in your name . God I miss you. I wish you were here. I love you. Till we see each other again.

BEBE: I CAN STILL HEAR YOU ON THE TELEPHONE. I CATCH MYSELF SMILING WHEN I THINK OF SOMETHING YOU SAID OR DID. YOU HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR A VERY LONG TIME , IT JUST SEEMS WEIRD NOT TO HAVE YOU NEAR. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO MEET ALL OF YOUR FAMILY, THEY ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT I CONSIDER FRIENDS BUT YOU MY DEAR I LOVED MOST OF ALL BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME MOST OF ALL- I REALLY HOPE THAT WE SHOULD MEET AGAIN, IF NOT, IT'S BEEN A GREAT RIDE WITH YOU AT MY SIDE.

PIPO,
FOR AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN YOU, YOU ALWAYS GAVE ME GOOD ADVICE AND SHARED GOOD TIMES. YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE KIND OF MAN TO RESPECT, TAUGHT ME WHAT I COULD HOPE FOR AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT.WITHOUT MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF ANYTHING, YOU FILLED IN A LOT OF BLANKS IN MY LIFE.

THANK YOU FOR GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO GIVE ME WHAT I NEEDED.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHO OR WHERE I'D BE NOW. IF YOU HAD NOT CARED ENOUGH TO DO THAT.

YOUR PRESENCE IN MY LIFE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, I LOVE YOU, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRESENCE NOW AND FOREVER DAD.

YOUR SON EDDIE.
