Now you are all together, just like in this picture. I wasn´t ready to let Xavier go much less Franko. But God had different plans. I can´t see my life the same but I´ll do my best to push forward for you... my beloved brothers. You both know I loved you so much and I´ll never stop loving you. Rest in Peace,

Today is always hard, even Mother’s Day and although we try hard to celebrate knowing you would want us to, it’s a given that it just isn’t easy. And we’ve gone to focus on celebrating your life and we just end up missing you much more. What can I say? We still need you. A part of us is lost. Only God know why He took you home and we (those left behind) will never understand His reasons but what we do know is that You are not suffering and you are watching over us all. And that calms our hearts. We love you brother ❤

So thankful that your brothers and sister carried on your goofiness. There was never a dull moment when you were around, now I feel the same when we get together with them. You are missed, but I know that you are making everyone laugh and smile in heaven. Now with Tia Tencha up there, I know it is one crazy party everyday. Whenever I see FTP, I think of you!!! Since you are the one who told me what it meant. Love you.

Dear Rocha family my love and prayers go out to all of you. I know it was so hard for all of you while Xavier was sick but just know that God has stopped all the suffering and he is now in the arms of God awaiting a better life that God has promised all of us. To my dear sister Gloria I love you and will be praying that you have peace in your heart and remember your son as dear to you. May all the family take care of each other during this time of loss. Please feel free to write and e-mail me at [email protected] love you all.
