Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad.
I miss your phone calls and hearing your voice. But I have the beautiful letters you wrote me and the songs you recorded for me. Good memories of us eating BBQ in Midland, when you would come visit me. Love you forever, Dad. Rest in peace. One day I will see you again and will be together forever.

Dear Elizabeth Perez,
It's Laura again. I also had no idea your Grandfather was the man so enjoying playing his guitar outside in the garden of Mesilla Valley Hospice. I would walk by and I thought oh how wonderful that is to see.

Dear Elizabeth Perez and family. I'm very sorry about your loss but I'm so glad I got to know you Elizabeth (and Max) at Mesilla Valley Hospice where you Grandfather and my Mom were. It was as if we were mean't to cross paths through God. You Grandfather and my Mom passing away on the same day is very strange and everything happens for a reason and is in God's plan. I still cannot believe they also had a friend in common that would visit them on the exact same day and we didn't even know it (Diego ! sp?). He was a very good friend to my Mom & Dad through their church Our Lady of Purification Catholic Church. Anyways, it was mean't that we be friends and we were there for each other during such a sad time to uplift one another. I look forward to hearing from you and if you can please send me an actual copy of my Mom's obituary since I'm not there. God Bless

Ms. Evita and family, I was in shock to hear that your papito passed away. I am so sorry and please give my best to your mom and family. Don Ramoncito was my daddy best of best friends when he finally retired, they both loved to sin g and play their guitars. Now they will play for the great heaven above those beautiful songs.

May God always be with you cuz I know your daddy will be. He will be missed by many. Love you God bless you.

My Dear Grandfather:
I am so happy that I was able to be your care giver. It was a joy and the greatest pleasure and honor of my life. It was God's plan all along, Grandpa. I was meant to take care of you the way you always took care of me. It was my destiny determined God from the day you went to the chapel in the hospital to pray for me. I prayed daily that God would direct my steps and help me to make the right choices regarding your care. I could feel a supernatural power directing me and guiding me on a daily basis. I will always be grateful for the opportunity. I hope you had as much fun as I did!
Anyone that knows my Grandpa, knows how much he enjoyed he good meal and snack. Some of my funniest moments with him involved food. He looked forward to his midnight snacks during his hospital and hospice stays. One night I gave him a snack pack of cheese and crackers already cut up that just needed to be assembled. He loved it! He said, "Whoa! I am so busy making sandwiches, I'll be up all night!" He ate right up! I also remember him telling me that he enjoyed it when I gave him soup cups and ice cream late at night, usually right at midnight. I remember him enjoying a large shake from Sonic. Even when it was all gone and the cup was empty, he kept slurping it up to get the last drop.
I remember the day when Grandpa got his new wheels at hospice - his wheelchair had been too small and uncomfortable. The day he got his new wheels, he decided he would take them out for a spin. Norma and I took him out to the back patio and with childlike gusto he could not resist the urge to roll himself right into the grass. Then, inevitably, he got stuck. We all had one great, last, laugh. Thank you, Grandpa, for showing us how to find humor in every day.
I am thankful to have your spirit of giving. You taught me how to recognize when someone is in need. You showed me that giving is not always in a monetary form - the best gifts come from the heart. Give what you can give! I will donate my hair to Locks of Love in your honor, Grandpa, to help those with cancer. I know looking good was so important to you. I will always remember the time when you couldn't go downstairs to the radiology department for an X-ray, until your hair was combed. You taught me to see the best in people, and give them the benefit of the doubt. This wasn't always an easy lesson for me to learn, but you made it fun through your laughter. We never ended an encounter with each other without laughing! Thank you for giving me the ability to laugh at myself.
Love always, your girl,
Lizzie

Dad,
You are now in Jesus' arms and he has welcomed you home. I will miss our phone conversations and you telling me about we live in Ysleta,TX and how you used to sing to me when I was a baby.
I will cherish the songs and letters you sent me for the rest of my life.
Even though you didn't get your wish of coming to Corpus Christi to see me,
now you can see me everyday. Tell Tio Juan, Tia Cruz and Tio Lencho hello for me, cause I know that they were waiting for you at the Pearly Gates.
You will forever be my "Dad".
Your Daughter,
Irene Hernandez
Your Grandaughers, Belinda and Michelle Reyes.
Your Great-grandsons,Oscar Ray Moya, Benny Moya and Emet Banda.

Dearest Father,
As your adopted daughter, I want to thank you just one more time for all the good things you did for me in my life. I remember the day you and Ubie brought Lazaro and me to Las Cruces from Juarez. Never seeing anything outside of where I had lived for seven years, I was amazed at the new world you were introducing me too. The moon and the stars were just appearing, right before we were to arrive, in Las Cruces. I thought we were entering another heaven when I saw all the lights from a distance. To this day I have loved living in Las Cruces. Thank you for the sacrifices you and Ubie went through to get us here. I have a life that I may never have had if you had not done this for me. I love you with all my heart. I will miss seeing you reading your bible and playing your guitar and harmonica.
I know our heavenly Father has you in the palm of His hands and you no longer have the pain you lived with for so many years. I will remember you only for all the good things you have done.
My love to you,
Maria Elena
