Lydia,
El Im Lamento la pérdida de su marido querido, aunque haya pena y angustia él está en el mucho mejor lugar sin el dolor y descansando pacíficamente con la familia y amigos que han pasado antes. La pérdida de un marido-bestfriend de 3 años o 60 años es tan dolorosa como la pérdida de un niño. Su sido casi 22 años desde J.R. han pasado y Ahora él y Efrain pueden tanto vigilar usted y su familia

John, Liana and I from NYC now living in NJ often viewed your photos daily. Though we never met you, we could see that you were a true and wonderful Carrero..Courageous, full of joy, loving, strong, brilliant,outgoing, silly, witty, faithful and beautiful! Does this describe you?! We enjoyed looking at photos of you amongst your family standing tall and proud. You remind me of my beloved Grandfather Carmelo Carrero and I can count on knowing that you and him are having a wonderful reunion with our Heavenly Father. Please send your family members some happy signs from Heaven as Carmelo does for us often. Great Uncle Efrain A. "Frank" Carrero rest in peace. Love, Elisa Aponte (1st born of Elsie Carrero)

Grandpa the fact that your gone leaves me heartbreaking but I'm glad I can say I got to spend the amount of time I could with you. You were an amazing grandfather, I cherished every moment I had with you , like when I walked you around the apartment with the wheel chair(: or how every time I went over you would give me 5 dollars I cherished every single moment I had with you? I miss you so much , more than I have ever missed someone before. When I found out the news it was heart breaking, shocking , didn't feel real. But your in a better place & you are no longer suffering. I love you so much grandpa? Love your great granddaughter Serena?

I wish I could have met this man. My husband told me many stories about him and he spoke so highly of his grandfather. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and while I look through the photos of him and his beloved family, I know he was a warm good hearted man and these words are few of the many good things he was. God blessed this family with such a man and may he keep blessing this beautiful family. My condolences to the Carrero family

I loved you so much & will continue to love you? losing you was heart breaking , I've never missed anyone as much as I miss you. You were such an amazing grandfather.

We can see from all the photos that were posted what kind of man you were. Loving, kind with a mischievous spirit! I wish we had known each other better. You made an impact on this world by your very presence but even more so in the lives of your children and then in the lives of your children's children. That spirit and will to live life playfully will continue in them all until we all meet again. Please say hi to my dad. Now I will think of all of you, brothers and sisters and your mom and dad together again. Don't get in trouble up there! Love you

Rest in peace, my dear Tio Efrain. It's a shame there were so many miles between us but I always thoroughly enjoyed the little time we spent together. It's comforting to know that now that you've made your peaceful transition into the Flow of Eternal Life, you will remain forever in the hearts and minds of those you left behind. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of what a father, husband, friend and Tio should be. The world sure could use more like you. You will be missed...

Rest in peace Weto. You are already missed so much by everyone and you always will be. I consider myself so lucky to have met you.Truly a blessing and honor. You always knew just how to put a smile on anyone's face whenever the opportunity arose. The fact that you managed to keep a sense of humor and a smile on your face even during all the struggles of your life was truly inspiring. The memories we all have of you will remain in our hearts, until we meet again. We may have lost an incredible man but we have all gained an amazing angel.<3

Nelson, family
I am so very sorry of the loss of your father. I never got the chance to meet him by just by his warm smile and the love he showed for his wife and children in pics I cant tell he was one hell of a nice guy and amazing father. I know the loss of losing a parent for I lost my mother at a very young age she was only 52 years old do to cancer. But let me tell you my opinion it don't get any easier. but the love and the memories is one thing No One and I mean No One can ever Take any from Us. may your father rest in peace until we all meet again. God Bless You All.

To my dearest Wellito, I am so sad that you have gone. But I'm happy that where you are there is no pain. You always seemed to be excited when I walked in the room, but it was me that was excited to be near you. My childhood memories were so happy at your house, your were always so warm and loving to me. I always loved to make you and Wellita laugh. I know you are still with us all, except now your watching over us on a better place. Probably playing dominoes , I will miss you Wello I love you so much.
