FUISTE UN SER HUMANO MARAVILLOSO. TE ADMIRABA POR QUE SIEMPRE FUISTE UN HOMBRE DE PALABRA FIRME Y SENTIMIENTOS HUMILDES. TE QUISE COMO A UN HERMANO, HAS SIDO EL MEJOR PADRE QUE HE PODIDO CONOCER, COMO ESPOSO FUISTE EXCEPCIONAL, COMO HIJO LO MEJOR Y COMO MI CUNADO FUISTE LO MAXIMO, TE EXTRANO MUCHO PERO PA'LANTE AQUI CON MI HERMANA Y MI PRINCESA APOYANDOLAS COMO SE MERECEN, Y AQUI ESTARE SIEMPRE QUE ELLAS ME NECESITEN (tu sabes).

Hey Pop,

Days for me have been so hard since you left us. At first, I didn't believe it...I refused to. Days have never been the same since my mom told me what anyone who has a father never wants to hear. I'll miss you so much dad. There's so much I'm gonna miss doing with you. All the fun stuff we talked about. While I was visiting you in Philly we were always together when you weren't working. Although I never talked about it, words will never express how much you mean to me. No matter what we went through, it didn't matter..You were still my father and I've loved you since I was old enough to realize as much. I know you're in a better place now. And Pop, don't worry, Destiny & I will always stay in touch.
Rest In Peace Dad!

Your Son,
Steven

Tio words could not expess the pain I felt when I heard you were gone. I was immediately struck by a feeling of disbelief. It just feels so wrong to have lost you so soon, but I know you would've wanted all of us to remember you for the good times. You were always joking around, from the Thanksgiving get-togethers to our times in the "green room", you always had me laughing, haaha. You were a great uncle and i will always love you Tio...... oo and by the way, your Phillies won the World Series. I know your happy about that=]

TO CARMEN, DANIEL, LESLIE & FAMILY MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. MY HEART IS GENUINELY, BROKEN FOR ALL OF YOU. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS DAY HAS COME, BUT I HOPE THAT GOD GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH TO COPE AND GET THROUGH THIS GRIEVING PROCESS VERY RAPIDLY. I KNOW THIS IS A MOTHER'S NIGHTMARE, BUT THE PAIN WILL SHORTLY FADE AND YOU'LL ONLY BE LEFT WITH GOOD MEMORIES. ONE DAY AT A TIME! WE'RE ALL THINKING OF YOU! HANG IN THERE.
