Hi Daddy, it's been awhile since I have written but there is not one day that I don't think of you. It's Christmas time your favorite time of the year not just because it your BIRTHDAY but as you thought us it's Jesus BIRTHDAY. Your love for Jesus we as children could see and feel when you spoke of him to us. I will for ever be greatful for that gift you shared with us. Through that gift it has helped me to make choices in my life and help others as well. All your children carry that blessed gift of Jesus within their hearts and I can see you in them through their action.
I miss you soon much you silliness always making us smile. The Times we all went camping at My Madonna great memories. But most of all the times when we would have one on one talks. You let us see the answers to our problems in such a loving way....you and Jesus. Always ending our talks " In Jesus Name " and "Thank you Jesus ". My heart aches for those times.
The family will gather at your grave site on the 25th Christmas day to celebrate your BIRTHDAY ....yes your our family's Christmas gift from God. Mama and all of us are doing fine with new addition to the family tree. You would have so much fun with all the little ones. Pray for them Daddy as we do here ask God our father and Jesus to bless them with health, happiness, but most of LOVE!! Xoxo
Well Daddy till I see you again wait for me at the gate I maybe older n slower, but look into my eyes you will still see the love of Jesus you gave oh so long ago still burning brightly. Love you, your daughter Patrocinia

Hi Daddy, Beautiful memories of you I cherish especially this time of year!! You always provided a home with food and drink for all of your children. You taught us to enjoy each other's company. You would tell us your brothers and sisters are all you have, they will always be there for you. Mom shares memories of you, things you did together, they are priceless!! Mom is still teaching all 168 (or so) of us. She is a beautiful, strong, and special loving woman!! You will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart!!! I love you and I miss you very much!!! Your daughter Anna Marie Quevedo

Hi Daddy,
Thinking and missing you it's your time of the year. Joy, Love, Peace, and Family that is what you gave to us. I have been enjoying my family especially your great-granddaughters. I asked you to send me a grand-baby when you arrived in heaven, my little mama was born 9 months 12 days later. You really made it to heaven fast!! 6 years later, I have two precious grand-babies, they are both angels in my eyes. Mom is doing good, all of us watch over her making sure she is taken care of. I see your face in pictures and can hear you say Hi Mija, how are you? You are always in my heart and mind. I am proud to be your daughter...Love you Daddy...Anna Quevedo

Edna,Adam,Eva,Mary,Isabel,Anna,Arlene,Lano and me Patty walked with Mom through some of the places you & her lived in at Poteet Texas. I saw mom as a young bride , a new mother and a proud older sister. It seemed as if every turn in the little town was as if it were yesterday to her. Mom has loved you for so many years and we had the chance to see it first hand as she took us, your children on this adventure thur this special place & time which must of ment so very much to both of you. I know you were with us because of all the blessings which came our way. We visited the grave of Margarito Quevedo...your Dad my Grandfather and the hombelness of that cemetary made a inpac on me that I will always remember. Daddy you would always say, "I wished I could leave you kids with something of value before I die"... Daddy You Did. You know what Iam talking about you can see what lies ahead for us, all I ask is to please lead us. Between Jesus and you we cant go wrong. I miss you so very much, and wished with all my heart that you were here with us.Specially in Texas. Well Dad I have to go and make sure Mom's in bed..yea she's here with me Daddy and I will take care of her until she wants me to. We all Love you and Miss you but till we meet again I pray that God keeps our Family togeather and in Peace with one another. My Love Alway's Your Daughter La Patronicia Ofilia Quevedo Marrujo

Grandpa, sorry for not writing sooner. I want to tell you how much I love and miss you so much. I think of so many memories we had like when we went fishing and camping on the land but not only those memories but all the other times when I went to your house. Grandpa you are a man of highly respect, you showed me how to be a man and a good husband to my wife Lorraine. I miss you so much, I know you had to go because you were in so much pain and needed to go home to the Lord and rest with peace but I know you are watching over all of us. I will always miss you and never forget all the memories of you. Your grandson John and Lorraine Wright

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas Daddy!!! Your birthday is special just like you, it is the same birth date as Our Saviour Jesus Christ. You were born on the day that best describes you because of your kindness to others. I am speaking from experience, always willing to lend a helping hand, give your last dollar or sacrifice a meal. You would put your needs aside especially if it was you child/grandchild. We love and respect you for all you have done for us and taught us. I will be singing to you all day no one else but you will hear because it will be coming from my heart and my thoughts. Que Dios lo cuide como usted nos cuido a nosotros, te quiero, te extrano, Feliz Cumpleanos y Feliz Navidad, sin mas su hija Anna Marie Quevedo

Here I am again Dad,Thanksgiving is only a few days away and I am really gonna miss seeing your little face, and seeing you wonder which one I am,...remember Dad?..I just needed to tell you something that I've been asking people,family members,friends,and even strangers, if the pain of losing you ever gets better or does it go away, Some say time heals the pain,others say it gets easier and some say it never goes away,Well I think if the pain ever goes away, then will I feel better?..or what? But Dad you know what I don't feel so much pain as I feel the love, because you were always there with your love for me and all my family,Dad I remember all the big miracles you did for me,like putting up my clothsline and being with me when I lost my last child, remember Daddy, I'll always remember this awesome and unconditional love you gave us,I guess that's why I pray so much for my girls and grandkids because you thaught me that to!!! Daddy my life is so full because of you at times I'm a little lonely but we can't have everything,,, could you just look in on me from time to time? Today I'm missing you alot Daddy,,,you know the triplets were 34 years old and my Julia just turned 12years old and I'm feeling really old, I pray that you and JESUS are good friends by now. I know you love him and I know that he also loves you very much... And I love you both very very much.I'll be talking to you soon. Thank You for all the lessons and especially the miracles you've given me. I'm very proud to be your daughter and Daddy,,,I can live with the pain until I can see your little face again.I Love You, I Miss You, My Chulo, My Hero,My Daddy....Forever in my Heart,Your Daughter.

Hello Papa,
We love and miss you so very much.
Papa i remember the first time we met you and Mama Denise was 4 years old,Darlene was 6.We came to your home with my comadra Patty.
You welcomed us like we were family.
My children called you grandpa and they called Mama grandma.
Wehave so many fond memories.Like the times you had gatherings, and
everyone, was there dancing and singing,even uncle Joe.
Whenever we came to your home , you would always tell us to come in and
sit down to eat . Papa there was one time i remember the most ,is when i was going to sit by you and you ask me to sit in one chair over .I did but i ask you who was sitting in that chair? And you smiled ,and said Jesus sits there.
Papa even if you only had a little to eat you always made room for us ,and Mama always had homemade torillas.
Papa one day david ,came home from work ,he said he saw you and you were in your working truck,and you asked him ,Mijo do you need some money? He said he told you no ,but you told him if he ever needs anything he can come to you .
You were always like thatready to give anything you could.
Papa,in nov.2006,you were at Pattys,and i had made some pumpkin pie ,we gave you some and you smiled and said ummmm.
Iwent in the room where you were lying and prayed with you ,you looked up at me ,and i said i love you Papa ,and you said i love you too Mija.
We love you and miss you so much .You gave us so much to remember,and to hold on too.

In each one of us,there is a need to acquire one of the qualities that made you such a special person.
You have always had time for everyone of us,you have made us believe that each one of us is special to you in our own way.
As we grow older,we still have a bond that you have created that keeps us together.You have made us realize that without family we would be nohing.
The richness that was captured in your live is thick and it was full of glorious energy.Stories told of lives and lives ago about hardship,laughter,sadness and happiness,to be carried on through the years.
I intend to carry on your spirit that you hav given me,yourlove,your lives,your stories.
You told me i could be whatever i chose,and i danced at the tought of the future.Time would test your understanding,as i pulled away from your open arms,but you stood strong in hopes that the lessons taught would bring me home-love,is what you thaught me.
Thank you,for guiding and supporting me,helping make me become the man,husband and father i'am today .

Hello Grandpa...This is the day which the lord has made let us rejoice and be glad!! Today I've missed you very much grandpa. I'm at work and you come into my mind and I have all these memories of my childhood and growing up and I just started crying. I really miss you grandpa. There is nobody that can take your place. You were the brightest and biggest star in our family!! You always were sunshine on my worst days. I would just hear your voice if you'd call me and I'd be soooo much better. I'd call to talk with grandma & you and you both would make me feel better. If I told you about Tavo being sick or not working cause of the rain, You would always say that GOD provides for us all the time. you were always right too because the bills would get paid and the rent would be on time and we would have food in the fridge for all our little ones. Today Grandpa I MISS YOU SO MUCH!! Today is a hard day! I love you grandpa!! You are missed today and always. Until we meet again in GOD's kingdom!! Your granddaughter who is missing you always ANGELICA

Hi Grandpa!
We miss you! We love you! It's getting close to your Birthday and Anniversary and the memory I think of when I was young...and you received a blow dryer for one of your birthdays and you were excited because you said you can now blow dry your full head of hair. I don't remember who gave it to you, or what year, but I remember laughing and thinking.....My grandpa is so funny! You always had something funny to say. I will always remember how funny you were. We are blessed to have you as our grandfather and great-grandfather and you will always live on in our hearts, forever! Thank you for being YOU!
I Love You!

Hi Granpa, It's me again Heli...I never knew missing you would be so hard. I want to see your little face, those beautiful eyes, that one of a kind nose and that bald head of yours! I miss being able to tell you about my life with my husband and kids grandpa because no matter how busy you were you always had time for your family. I remember you always telling me that I did good by getting married and having a baby so young because you seen how happy it made me and how much I grew up. You told me I did the right thing and coming from you was just beautiful confirmation from the lord above that it was the right thing. Can you believe it grandpa Gustavo & I have been married for 11 years already, the best 11 years of my life.It seem just like yesterday. Where does the time go...It's just like yesterday that I was having him meet all the family. You gave us your blessings and wished us the best. I have you as a role model for a married person and I want my marrage to last as long as your and gramas. I want to grow old with Gustavo and watch my kids grow up and leave the nest, get good jobs, fall in love, have babies oh yeah and make me alot of $$$$! You were a good DADDY grandpa and I love you and miss you so much. Until we meet again in GOD'S KINGDOM. Your granddaughter Angelica

Hi Daddy,
Its me Patty...I can't even tell you how hard these last few months have been for me...also for all my brothers and sisters. Before I would try and imagine just how life would be without you or mom but never did I think it would change the world so much for me. I think of you every day and ask you for help to get me through the days which I can't handle and some how you and Jesus come thur for me.

I know now the meaning of unconditional LOVE. Pray for me that I too can receive this gift before I'am called home.

My family is doing fine...the grandkids are getting older and both are working. Dad Nerissa still remembers what you told her so long ago " If you don't work you don't eat" she was just a little girl but your words made a inpact on her ... thank you Dad.
Rena, Gary & Mouse are all doing fine. You would be proud of them.

Daddy you were always saying that you would never be able to leave us kids any money ... but you left us something more perious then money, you left us your LOVE. The Love that we share between each other is one you showed us as we were growing up. Respect for one another,these gifts some parents find it hard to give their children...yet you gave it so freely.Thank you Jesus for the Love you shared with my Daddy.

Well Daddy till I see you again ...You will always be with
me as I see a sunrise on a new day or a sunset or in a night that the moon is so full and the stars seem so close you can almost touch them,I look for you "the shinnest star in the heavens".

Love You Alway's Daddy ...Missing you so much.

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.
