Alberto you are still missed by your friends and co workers. When I talk to my family we remember how my mother always called you her friend. You are still in our hearts. We miss you but know you are up in heaven singing with the Angeles. See you again when I come home.

My dearest albert, only I know how much I miss you and will always miss you. I remind myself that no one was able to take you from me but god. One day we will meet again. Until then. I will always have these great memories of the time we spent together and how much you made me laugh. The best time we spent together was when I was in my twenties. Now I enjoy your sister Antonia Garcia who is just as fun as you were. I love you so much. Your loving cousin, Josie m sepulveda.

Our beloved brother, uncle, cousin friend and bright light and caregiver to many less fortune individuals. You left us way too early I ask myself when would I have been ready to lose you the answer is always the same "never". You will be missed daily and by many. Thank you for being in my life. A lot of us are better people because of you. I have always been so proud to have you as a brother. For the last time "goodbye, fat Albert." You take a piece of my heart with you. Your "baby sister" Jo Barela.
