It is the eve of your second year anniversary in heaven my precious beloved Efrain, my soul mate and love of my life forever E. I battle each day with the reality of you not being physically here next to me...how I miss you...I think so much about all the things you and I shared together and about all the things we didn't get to share like Bodoquito who is now a year and a half! There are so many memories flooding through my mind E...the various ages and stages of our lives together. How I miss your physical presence here next to me. Life seems surreal trying to find myself..I see you in everything, I search for your faint voice around me...I talk to you throughout each day

Though your physical presence is missed tremendously, we made it a point to celebrate you today Papa. I started the day with a hole in my heart that I don´t think will ever heal. I told Bodoquito that today´s your birthday and that you´re celebrating in heaven. Jessica and the girls even got a cake. You are loved beyond any & every measure. I look forward to reuniting with you and in the meantime will continue praising God for blessing me with such an amazing Papa. Your are always in my heart- every moment of every day.

My Papa, I love you and miss you tremendously. Bodoquito is spending his first night in the cuna that you and Mama blessed him with, I´ve started playing the mini conga and bongos with him and he reminds me of you every day, the way he sleeps, the way he lays on his back with his leg bent and resting on his knee, the way he lifts his eyebrows like you...I can´t accept that so much time has passed since I heard your last breath in this realm and hugged you so tightly in my arms. I know you were there to welcome Papa Grampa into heaven and have dreamed about you but I still can´t help but long to hug you and see your precious smile.. I really can´t wait to see you again.

Papa Christmas is not what it was when I could hug you and share time together but I pray you celebrated in heaven. I miss you from the deepest depths of my heart and soul. Bodoquito turned 6 months on Mama´s birthday and I talk to him about you every day. I love you so much. The only thing that relieves my grief is knowing we´ll be together again.

Where do I begin...my life and that of our 3J's changed forever a year ago today. My precious beloved sweet E the love of my life, my hero. To say that I miss you desperately doesn't come close to describing what I'm living. I see you in every aspect of life, the sun, the moon, the stars, the hills, the ocean, the mountains, the trees, the birds, in everything. I remember your precious love and miss the fun we shared together. This is excruciatingly painful yet knowing that you no longer suffer, you are now eternally happy, restored completely healed and able bodied makes my hurt a little lighter. I love you, I love you, I love you E forever and more. God bless you my precious sweet beautiful Efrain, my hero.

Ten months since I heard your last breath, now your 1st Heavenly birthday is right around the corner and I find myself jealous of the loved ones still here to have their birthdays in this plane...wishing I could celebrate you & do something special with you. I know it´s selfish but I love you and miss you and still can´t accept that you are not here how you were. I miss everything about you! I tell Bodoquito about you every day but so badly wanted him to know the loving comfort of being in your arms and your stilling presence and grace. My life is so incomplete since you´ve transitioned to heaven and there will never be any replacement or filling of the void in my heart. I love you Papa!

I love so you much precious Papa! Your physical presence is greatly missed, while I know you are in the almighty Glory of God, I can´t help but wish you were still here with us, that you could hold and see my Ñoño growing and discovering and that we could still watch sunsets & listen to music together. You are always in my heart and on my mind and words cannot begin to express the depths of my pride and joy in having you as my Papa or the sorrow of missing you. I wish we had more time together and praise God our creator that I will see you again. The passing of time really doesn´t make anything more bearable, I just miss you that much more. I love that my mijo has your smile and eyes & pray you keep blessing and talking to him from heaven. Please pray for Mama, me and my brothers, we love you and miss you so much.

My forever cherished Papa life is incomplete without you here. Six months without your beautiful smile and physical presence has passed, my baby boy is here and healthy but no amount of joy, blessings or relief can ever replace the gaping emptiness of your absence. I continue to praise God Almighty for blessing me with you and Mama and I am slowly understanding how this parent love works. I can hear your voice in my head as you´d say Jesús, Joaquín and I are your babies and how you love us so much.. going into Father´s Day weekend without you here feels so dark and heavy. I pray for strength and ask that you guide me but more than anything I just wish you were here. I wish I could see your face meeting my little Daniel Efrain, I can imagine how you´d hold him and I wish everything was different than the reality that is. A year ago today we enjoyed a drive with sunset with the love and fellowship Mama, You & me so often shared. The images are a morsel of the happiness I´m reminded of, the experiences and shared time together is what gets me through these daysweeksmonths without you. God knows the deep sorrow in our hearts from missing you, God bless you abundantly for your greatness in how you loved Mama & my brothers and I so tremendously..

Papa I love you and miss you far beyond words. As my belly gets bigger and I feel my baby moving around inside me there´s not a day or night that passes when I´m not thinking of you holding them in your arms and pouring your love and grace onto them how you did with me & my brothers. I pray that I´m even a fraction of the excellent parent that you and Mama modelled for me, Jesús and Joaquín. Baby and I lift you up in our daily prayers and praise God for the example you left of love & care, and for your passion for life and family. I can only take it a day at a time...even that feels too much without you here. Though I know I´ll see you in heaven, I still can´t find a way to accept that until then I only get my dreams and memories to hold me until that day. I try to take solace in the fact that you fought the good fight better than most would care to and that you are whole, not suffering from the dreaded disease that you battled, and you´re basking in the glory of God our Creator and provider. I love you forever my sweet cherished and beloved Papa.

After many years of not knowing about my good friend Rosie and her wonderful husband Efrain and amazing children, her daughter Jasmin found me on social media. I was overjoyed to have the opportunity to reconnect with this amazing family who gave me a warm and loving place to just be, when I needed it the most, many years ago.
Beautiful Rosie, I am deeply saddened to hear that your wonderful, kind, and ever loving husband, Efrain has passed. I will never forget how this humble, gentle, and loving being, Efrain, always welcomed me into your home. His calm and loving spirit was an example of what a husband and father should be to his family. Your marriage was always a positive example for me. I loved how you both loved each other unconditionally. Your commitment towards each other and your children has forever impacted my life. My deepest condolences Rosie, Jesus, Jasmin, and Joaquin. May Efrain´s love and legacy continue to live on in you. May your faith in Christ Jesus be a reminder that this is not the end. One day we will be in His glorious presence and all the pain and suffering of this world will come to an end. God´s peace that goes beyond all understanding is what will continue to carry you all through this difficult process. May the fullness of God´s Holy Spirit be your strength!
With love and respect,

Remembering the four of us and the kids were at the Santa Paula apt. Lit and Happy when Efrain began to say each of our names backwards, Niarfe, Iesor, Nomar, and Zuliram that night we were all rebaptized! Oh ya, and Oterbor. At least we had cake! I will never forget how beautiful you were in this world, thank you for our friendship.

I was so sorry to hear of Efrain´s passing. I will always remember his kind, gentle spirit, his love for his family, and his beautiful smile. Efrain tried to make the world a better place, and by his presence and the love he shared he succeeded in just that. He will be greatly missed.

Sweet, beloved Efra. We love you brother and we are thankful to Creator Almighty for the great honor of knowing you and your beautiful family. You were always a dedicated husband to your wife and a loving father to your children. Your gentle demeanor and kindness made us all want to be better. You knew so much about so many things and always had meaningful words to share, especially about "la causa."
I remember going to hear you play percussion with a jazz band in a small posh establishment on State Street in Santa Barbara. You were so cool and talented, and my friend Rosie, your wife, was so proud of you and she was head over heels over you ...even after three lovely children.
When Rosie became critically ill, my heart was broken to see you cry. You were devastated. She was your everything, and we prayed and prayed, and merciful God heard our prayers and she recovered. You smiled again and your happiness returned. Thank You, Jesus!
Today, I am sad because we will all miss you; but, I know that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever and that we will see you again, dear brother, when we´re all gathered together in Heaven with our Father. Hugs to everyone up there. My mom will be very happy to see you.
Dearest Rosie, my beloved sister, and Jesús, Jazmín, and Joaquín, may the everlasting Peace and Love of our Heavenly Father cover you during these difficult times; and may we be reminded that Efrain is in the joyous presence of Creator Almighty, and we rejoice and praise The Lord in the Name of Jesus! Gloria a Dios! Hallelujah!

My condolences to Efrain´s family, Rosie, Jasmin, Jesus and Joaquin. Although quiet, Efrain carried a big heart with the struggles our raza faced daily. He always could be counted on to help in any way he could. Efrain was a strong believer in education and it carried through to Rosie and his kids. Although his illness prevented him to continue to be active for justice, equality and self determination of our raza, we will certainly continue to feel his spirit. Efrain Presente!

My brother will always be a source of inspiration, strength and dignity. As I became closer to him in recent years I learned to admire his resilience and peace with life more than i can ever describe. His loss very is difficult to deal with every day yet I feel he is free forever as his spirit will live with me always. His love of life was clear and present as was his adoration for his family. He is and will always be a dear brother who taught me about life when here and who continues to teach me. I send you my deep love and appreciation dear brother. Que descanses en paz!

I worked with Efrain for a few years when I ran Nutritech and he ran our shipping department. He was the kindest person, a gentle soul and I so enjoyed seeing him every day for years. I remember Efrain lighting up when he talked about Rosie and his children, he was so proud of his family. I knew he was a musician and sadly I never got to hear him play. We would connect but never with long conversations. He always was so soft spoken. After he and I left Nutritech, I ran into him again when he was working for Pacific Products. The connection was still there and I enjoyed touching base about how we were both doing. I know we lost a good person now that he's gone.

Hi Rosie and family(not sure if the kids remember me) I´m Genevieve´s daughter. It´s been such a long time since I´ve seen everyone back in EL Sueno days. I was so sad to hear of Efrain´s passing from my mom. I have such fond memories of him from when I was younger. He was always there with his family. He was a very gentle person that loved his family fiercely. He was quiet but so funny! Jasmin thanks for sharing all the pictures on here. I would love to connect sometime. I send all my love and prayers to you all! I send my deepest condolences.

Words cannot express the sadness at the passing of our dear friend. Nor the sorrow in my friend's hearts. Such love and devotion to this wonderful husband and father.
God bless you Rosie, Jasmin, Jesus and Joaquin.
He will be missed and remembered fondly.

I love you and miss you so much, I struggle with the passing of each day and waking up to the reality that I can´t hug you and talk with you like before. I wish time went backwards to more cherish each moment we had. I loved our talks and time spent together long before any illness. I know you loved all of us so much and am thankful for your amazing example. Only God knows.

Que dios les brinde mucha fortaleza, solo dios sabe las decisiones que toma para llevárselos a su lado, no hay palabras que mitiguen el sufrimiento y solo el tiempo ayudará a asimilar la partida física de un ser querido, solo queda agradecer por los momentos y el tiempo que dios nos permitió estar al lado de nuestro ser querido que ahora desde el cielo estará cuidando de ustedes.

Eric and I are saddened by your loss. We have fond memories of our friendship when we lived in family student housing at UCSB. That friendship evolved as did our love and respect for EZ. May the precious Holy Spirit uplift and hold you and your family today and always. We love you!

My sincere condolences to you Rosie, Jesus, Jasmin and Joaquin. Efrain was a great husband and father.
I was fortunate to grow up with Efrain. I really enjoyed hanging out with Efrain, witnessing all his talents. He was our best basketball player during competitions playing in the neighborhood. He loved music. It was amazing to see how passionate he was about jazz music. I recall he started to play the drums and we would listen to Santana.
I will always remember you my friend.
May you Rest In Peace.

My condolences to Efrain´s family. I only met him toward the end of his time, but from the stories I heard, I came to feel like I knew him. He has a strong spirit. He and his family rose to challenges as they came, showing their devotion for one another. What more blessings can one ask for?
