I love you tio and i miss you.I can still hear your voice tio..... A mijo.....man I love you Tio I never felt pain like the one felt when you left us. I still cry for you. I know I'll see you and grandma and cousin Miguel again. Until then I will life the best I can and carry your memories.......

DEAR TIO TONY ONCE MY UNCLE JOHN GOES WITH YOU AND GRANDMA TELL THEM I LOVE THEM AND YOU TOO. WHY DID YOU GUYS HAVE TO LEAVE SO SOON? TIO TONY NOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONE I MISS YOU GUYS.

Bro,
I feel so alone and lost. It's been hard to live without you! I have been overcome with sadness to think I could never touch and feel your warmth. Girls: you dad may be gone but, I am here and he has already told me what to do!!! Dont ever be scared because I am here here for you!!!!

Bro,
It's hard to believe that you would have been gone two years this week. Its seems as though it was just yesterday... Here is a poem I love: The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that 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 od us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at 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.
We will never be the same, our lives have been changed...

Bro, It's been a while but, the pain of losing you and mom is still here, still the same, still very real! This pain will never go away. Lorlai talks about her tio Tony like you guys were best friends.... she's pretty funny because I know you really only seen her a few times. She loves and misses you, we all miss and love you deeply!

Tony,
As your lil sis, what i miss the most was your BIG HUGS I could feel the love. I remember you would make us look at you when you had something important to say. Bro I know things happen for a reason, but i still find myself asking Why? When our dad past away , you became my father,brother,and now my guardian angel,With mom gone , I just cant get a grip. But I just wanted to let know you, had alot to do with who i am today, you taught me morals, family values , and most important self respect I miss you and mom so much tony. My deepest sympathy to martha and my nieces, and thank you martha for never giving up on tony the tiger. You and the girls meant so much to my brother everyone that knew him heard him say it all the time.......in my heart forever lisa ortea

My Dearest Brother, Why did this have to be... for you.. for them.. for me. I dont know how to accept the path god has laid, for you and for me. You see, you were always stronger than the rest and its hard to believe its been a year since the last time we meet. Life will never be the same,at times life seems not worth living... another day, so much pain day after day. Then I remember how you are watching over us each day and we just want to make you proud of the decisions we make in our lives, day in and day out. If you could talk to us I bet we know what you would say! You are so very loved by your wife, daughters, family and friends and you will never be forgotten. You will always live on in our memories we cherish. God truely took one of our best!!!! Tell, mom I love and miss her deeply. Till the next time we meet. Your Lil sis Jessica

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

i loved being with my nice god father i miss you so much i will love you for life me and my auntie martha miss you> Makayla

I worked with "Tony" at the Plastic Surgery Center. I just want to express my sympathy to his wife and children. He was so proud of his girls, and I will always remember how happy he got every time his wedding reception song played on the radio. I will remember him dancing and smiling.

I am an anesthesiologist who worked with Tony. In an operating room, moodiness and temper can flare. But Tony was always calm, always kind, always a gentleman. He was a man of peace and humility. In this world, the best we have to offer is love and joy. By that measure, Tony was - is - a prince.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in your time of great sorrow. we will miss him he wasnt a brother in law he was a brother to us he is love by his god daughter makayla lots of love to his family from donald and norma valdez and family

Martha and family,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in your time of great sorrow. We will surly miss Tony's friendliness and cheerfulness.Our prayers are with you.
