Happy Father´s Day
From here to heaven - every day, every second.
Forever in my heart, always on my mind.
Thank you truly for all the lessons, all the love,
for the gift of life,
and for showing me a pure example of a real man.
To honor your word and walk in your name
is a blessing I carry with pride
and a responsibility I hold close to my heart.
For the #1 Dad -
I love you, Father.

A few thing I remember about Christmas......
You working on Christmas Day , you always stopped by the house to see us kids and wish us a Merry Christmas.
Customers from your route giving you Christmas gifts , gift cards, money and tones of See´s Candies boxes.
You loving to eat menudo and tamales.
You telling me that as a baby I was brought home in a Christmas stocking .
You calling to wish me a Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday!
This is the first year that I will not receive that phone call.
If I could have one birthday wish , it would be to have you here with us .
You are thought of and missed everyday.
Merry Christmas Dad
Thinking of you always
I love you.

I love you father
I miss you
holiday time is not the same at all
and your absence is felt
I wish I had you here with us
the memories hold me through
I remember you'd take us to see xmas lights in neihborhoods,
I remember how everyone gave you so much Christmas cards and gifts
you'd bring everything home from work and we would be amazed by the amounts.
it brings me joy to think back at how many ppl would think of you father.
you really touched those you came in contact with and you're personality meant a lot to all you've met. I also know when we were really young you'd work a little bit on xmas day to get triple pay but you would still come home during your shift to see us :] thank you father for the holiday memories I love you so much - you're son

In loving memory of a wonderful and always happy person. The time I knew him and spent with him was always fun. He always made me feel like part of the family. As I learned about his passing barely yesterday I cried like a baby because I regretted not being there when I should have and given u the proper goodbye u deserved. Crying as I´m writing this, I will miss you and ur funny stories u would share with me. I can´t believe u r no longer here with us but I know ur dancing in heaven to Selena Thank u Art for always including me like if I was another daughter. I will miss u.
