Hi Dad, It's been 16 years since you left this earth, and it's not getting any easier. Your grandkids are growing up starting their lives, and it just makes me realize all the memories you have missed. I wish I had more time with you, I wish I told you more how much I loved you, and what an amazing daddy / grandpa you were. I guess I just took it all for granted, something I regret daily. I miss our movie nights, I miss talking to you on my lunch hour, I miss our trips to Disneyland, Virginia City. I even miss taking you to all you can eat buffets, and even though I knew we would be there for hours because you took "all you can eat" to a whole new level, boy, what I would give to spend those hours with you again. Thank you for being the best daddy, I will miss you until my last breath. Until we meet again...

8 years ago today you left us and yet it seems like yesterday. The heartache will never go away. You left such a huge void in our lives. Miss you today and everyday.

Sadly missed along life's way, quietly remembered every day...No longer in our life to share, but in our hearts, you're always there.

Love and Miss you so much,
Forever Your Wife

Happy Birthday you would have been 66 years old today who would have thought that you'd be gone so soon. Your son left today for the Philippines. He said he will never forget the things you told him before you passed away. I know you'll be watching over him.

I miss you so much.

Love You Always,

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

Love and Miss you so much,
Mongie

It was six years yesterday since you've been gone. People say it gets easier as the time goes by, but I miss you even more. Jazmin and I spent the day in Reno. We went to one of your favorite places for dinner to remember you. I know you're aware Jazmin has a boyfriend so know I am playing both Mom and Dad. I am hoping that I am making the right decisions. I just keep thinking of what you would do. I pray that you watch and continue guiding her. We both know you are by the signs that you give us.
I love and miss you so much.

Hi Brother,

I miss you terribly.....never stop thinking about you. I miss our talks so much. Yesterday I left you some flowers and Jesse went to get some water for the vase and somehow the faucet squirted all over him and his clothes got all wet...Jesse said, "Your brother is here, he's doing what he always used to do to me!" I laughed and cried at the same time because I miss how you used to tease Jesse, he misses it too.

I love you brother.

Christmas time again. Well the grandkids are getting bigger and Tally is becoming a young lady. We still get together every year for Christmas. You loved to have the family together. Although I am surrounded by family, I still feel empty without you. So many times I wish I could turn back time so you could be here with me. Another family member has gone to join you in heaven. You used to love Pete. Remember when Pete and Lupe would come to Tahoe and stay with us. So many memories of good times past. I have to look forward to many more memories yet to be made. Merry Christmas to you, my Dad and all the family members up there with you.
Always in my heart

Happy Thanksgiving Uncle! I know I don't come on here much and write anymore but I do talk to you every night when I pray. I know you're eating so much in Heaven. I wish we can all go back and be together again. But I'm very thankful that we had you here as long as we did. I know you're listening when Fernando and I talk about you :) we love you very much! Miss you!

I know you're probably gonna read this Tia Mongie so Happy Thanksgiving and we wish we could be there. Love you.

Thanksgiving was your favorite holiday because you loved to eat! It just broke my heart when you couldn't eat anymore. You told me that you couldn't live like that. I really thought you were going to pull through and everything would be OK. I still have Thanksgiving dinner every year because I know you would want me to continue our tradition. Although you're always in my heart and thoughts, holidays seem empty without you. You always had everybody laughing with your corny jokes. You were always the life of the party. You were my personal clown.
Love and Miss You

I've been thinking about you so much lately. Another school year is about to begin. In a way I look forward to working, because when I am at home all I do is think of the times we had and it makes me cry to think it's over. I wish so much I could accept that fact you're gone and move on. I even started going back to church because I felt I needed spiritual guidance. You were my other half and I just can't seem to find my way without you. I never realized the saying, "You never know what you have until you lose it" would apply to me. If I could do it all over again, there's so much I would do differently. You made me laugh which I don't do so much anymore. I know you're probably upset with me because of the way I feel but I can't help it. I love and miss you so much.
Always in my heart,
Your wife

It has been 4 years. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Fernando, Isabelle and I went to visit my family. We were getting ready to leave and the phone rings.. The way my dad said "aw you've got to be kidding me" I had already knew what the phone call was for. I immediatly started crying and just couldn't believe it. Four years later and it still seems so unreal. I wish you were still here but I know that is selfish for me.. You went through alot and I'm just happy and thankful we all got to spend time with you as much as we did when you were here. I love you Uncle Fred and miss you everyday!

Brother,

Here's a funny for you……..
I hurried as fast as I could to get out of work early enough on Friday to take you some flowers for your birthday. I wasn't sure if I would get stuck in traffic on the way home so Jesse offered to pick up the flowers so as soon as I got home we could leave. It was still early when I left work around 4:30ish…

As soon as I got home I got in Jesse's truck and we left. There was a little bit of traffic on the way and it was starting to get dark. Jesse thought it would be faster if we went in through the side gate so we went that direction, it was getting darker. When we got to the side gate it was closed, but I told Jesse “Drive around to the front HURRY I have to get my brother his flowers today!”

We made it through the gates and headed towards your section, but it was so dark at this point and since there are no lights it was hard to see. Then, we saw a security car following us, but I told Jesse “HURRY before he stops us, I'll just jump out and drop off the flowers before the guard catches us. Brother, we were like fugitives in the cemetery, but I was going to get you your flowers on your birthday. Poor Jesse, he couldn't even see where he was driving but he just kept speeding.

Jesse drove as fast as he could in the dark, but the security cop caught us and made us pull over. After we pleaded for a good ten minutes and we got yelled at….the cop let's us go drop off your flowers and said he better never see us there that late again, goodness it was only 6:15.

I hope you enjoyed your flowers brother, next time I'll be sure to go on my lunch hour.

I miss you and love you very much!

Happy Birthday! You would have been 62 today. Jazmin and I are going to Lakeside for dinner tonight to celebrate your birthday. Remember we went there for your last birthday. You were not feeling well that day. Who knew a few weeks later you'd be gone from us. I hope you're enjoying your birthday in heaven with my Dad, your parents, my grannies and all our family members that are with you.

Happy Anniversary! Today would have been our 42nd wedding anniversary. I miss going to San Simeon for our anniversary. We had such a good time when we went. I remember the last time we went I ate so much I had such a bad stomach ache that night. I miss you so much. I just can't get over the fact that you're gone. I still imagine you coming home. Roland came to visit the other day. He said he made a promise to you that he'd keep in contact with me. We were remembering the "old days". How I wish we could do it all over again. Knowing how it would end, I would still marry you all over again. Next month is your birthday, another hurdle I need to get over. I think about you everyday. I love and miss you so much.
Until we meet again,

Well I got through another Christmas without you. New Year's was tough. It reminds me that I have to get through another year without you. I still miss you so very much. Can you believe that Nate is turning 5 in a few days! I remember as though it were yesterday when Jason called to tell us Ube was in labor. The years are going by so fast and yet it's as though time has stood still for me because I still hurt so much. Our anniversary is coming up it would have been 42 years. I just thought we would also be together. I know you're still around and watching over us. I just wish you could hold me in your arms like you use to and tell me everything is going to be okay.
My love, my life

Another Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Thanksgiving was your favorite holiday (I wonder why). I still miss you so much. Holidays aren't the same without you, nothing is the same without you. My world was turned upside down and I still haven't recovered. I continue praying that God give me the strength to accept what I cannot change. I know one day we will be together and that is what keeps me going. I love you and always will.

Being new to the family just before you passed I never really had the opportunity to get to know you. I must say that I have watched your family express their love for you and remember all the times you made them laugh. It is those times that my heart aches for your family. The love they have for you is unconditional and beautiful to see. I know you are watching from above and taking care of them and continuing to make them laugh with the memories you left behind. We miss you much !

March 16, 2011

It's been 3 years today since you've been gone and my life was forever changed. In my heart it still feels like it was yesterday. People say to remember the wonderful memories that you left behind but it's those memories that make my heart ache and miss you even more. I wish so much I could go back in time but I know I have to move forward. Moving forward without you is easy to say but so very hard to do. I still wish I could have been with you in those last moments, but I know it wasn't meant to be. I promise you I'll continue to live my life the best I can because I know in my heart someday we'll be together forever.

I love and miss you so very much.

February 14, 2011

Valentines Day was a special day for me. You would always get me a card and flowers but most of all, you would always let me know how much I meant to you. Yesterday I read the last Valentine's card you gave me. I remember you were so stressed because you couldn't go to the store. You wanted to have flowers and a card for me when I got home from work. You had Jennifer buy a card and Rudy buy the flowers. Even though you were sick, you still wanted to do what you always did. It means so much to me that you still thought of me. I will never forget it. My heart still aches for you. I miss you so very much.
You will always be my Valentine,

In 3 days it will be our anniversary. I miss going to San Simeon. I haven't been back to San Simeon since you've been gone. I don't know if I can ever go back without you. We had so many wonderful memories there. It would have been 41 years since we were married. All I can think about is the love and the many memories we shared together. My life has changed so much. Nothing is the same anymore without you. I still can't believe you're gone. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you. You were my world. I still love and miss you so much.
Happy Anniversary,

Another New Year without you. I can't help missing you. Even though I can't physically see you, I know you're still watching over me. Our anniversary is coming up this month. I remember our trips to San Simeon and the fun we use to have. It just pains me to think we'll never do that again. I miss you so much it just doesn't get easier as time goes by.

The other day when I took out the Halloween decorations, I came across the "Spider headband" you wore in the picture below. It made me both laugh and cry. I can't believe as sick as you were that you still found humor in everything. I loved that about you. On my worst day you would make me laugh. I miss your jokes and your laughter more than ever. I pray to God to help me get through another birthday, another Thanksgiving and Christmas without you.

Brother,

I don’t know if I just had a dream of you last night or you came to visit me; but I needed that hug so badly………I’ve missed you so very much. I often think about when you phoned to ask me if I love you, I was so glad I was there to take the call and yell at you for even asking that question. You are the most wonderful brother!

Thanks for the hug.

The holidays are quickly approaching and again it's not going to be the same without you. You were always the center of attraction. It is so hard to hold back the tears and pretend that everything is okay. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Who would have thought you would leave me so soon. We still had so much more to say and do. I lie in bed and the memories of you begin to flow through my head. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I laugh at the things I remember. You were and always will be a part of my life.
I miss you so much.

Sometimes I feel I can't go on but I know I have to because we still have our kids and grandkids. You are the type of person that no one can ever forget. I was so fortunate to have you in my life.

2 years ago today God decided he needed laughter in the heavens... 2 years ago, He decided to take you. I will never fully understand why you were chosen, or why it was your time to leave. They say it gets easier as time passes, but I'm finding it more difficult as the years, months, days go by. It doesn't get easier, you just find ways of coping. This morning I found Tally sitting on her bed quietly crying... I asked her what was wrong, she said she just woke up feeling sad and she didn't know why. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was the 2 year anniversary of her grandpa's passing... I think in her own little way, she already knew. Tonight I will sit on the couch, pop some popcorn (with a sprinkle of sugar) and watch an old western, I know you will be sitting next to me in spirit. Loving you everyday and twice on Sunday...

Yesterday was another hurdle I had to get through - your birthday. You would have been 60 years old. I still can't believe it's almost 2 years since you left me, it still feels like yesterday. Jazmin and I went out to eat in honor of your birthday. We know how much you loved to eat. I miss you so much there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I know you told me in my dream that I needed to let you go but it's so hard. How do you let go of someone who was your soul-mate. I know you enjoyed your birthday because you are free now to eat whatever you want and you got to spend it with my Dad, your Mom and Dad.
Happy Birthday!!
Love and miss you,

I tried to make it out yesterday to San Jose before the sun went down, but I guess you heard me asking Fernando if he'd think we'd make it every 10 minutes!! Next time I'm there and there's no traffic I promise okay. I miss you 'nd love you.

Hi Daddy, it's hard to believe I'm spending another Thanksgiving without you. I know it's your favorite, and not only because of the food, but you loved being with the family. I'm trying so hard to keep up with everything you asked... sending mom flowers on her birthday, keeping in touch with my brother and sisters. I'm keeping my promises I made to you right before you passed on. I still can't believe you are gone, I wait for your lunch time phone calls that never come. I wait to see you smiling face as you walk down my entry way... I wait to hear, "baby, what do you have to eat". It never comes, but I take comfort in knowing I will see you again some day. I see a part of you in Nate and it warms my heart... it's a daily reminder of the love I have for my Daddy. Missing you and loving you always,

Your baby girl, Ube

It's almost Thanksgiving your favorite holiday. I remember you eating the turkey leg and basically eating all day. The holidays just aren't the same without you. I can't believe it's almost 2 years since you left me it still seems like yesterday. In January it would have been our 40th anniversary. I had so many plans on how we were going to spend it, now I have to spend it without you. My heart just aches for you. You are always in my thoughts. I will never forget what we once had together and it's those memories I will cherish until we meet again.
Love

Uncle Fred,

Sorry I haven't been to your guest book for awhile. I have been thinking about you 'nd Jacob alot. The holidays are coming again.. and it's another year you two won't be here. It's always hard when there is family gatherings and we don't see you a nd Jake. But I know you'll be there even if we can't see you. I really miss you. I wish I could've just talked to you that day I called. But I understand it wasn't a good day for you. I love you!! Take care okay. XoXo

People say that you never forget but with time it does get easier. It is still so very hard for me to accept that you're gone. There are always things that remind me of you. It's so hard for me to go places and do things without you. Even though the family is so supportive, at night when I am in bed thinking of you, is when I feel so all alone. I just wish I could have told you more often how much you meant to me and how much I loved you. I just didn't think you were going to leave me so soon. You are and always will be the love of my life.
Your wife,

It's been a year and I am still having such a hard time accepting the fact that you're gone. You have and will always be a major part of my life. I feel so empty and lost without you. Although I am fortunate to have the support and love of my family and friends, it doesn't fill the void you left in my life. I've made a promise to myself, not to be so sad - instead I am going to think of the things you did to make me laugh. I know if you were here you'd say, "Mongie, get over it"! I love and miss you so much. Your Wife, Mongie

Yesterday for your birthday, Jazmin and I each had a balloon, made a birthday wish and sent the balloon up to you. Who would have thought that last year would be the last time we would celebrate your birthday together. I know you were not alone for your birthday, you got to celebrate with your Mom and my Dad. I love and miss you so much. You will always be the love of my life. Your Wife

Six months today and I still find it hard to believe you're gone. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and the love we shared. I miss you making me laugh, our talks over coffee on Saturday morning and just being there for me. So many years we shared together that I dread spending the holidays without you. I feel so empty and lost. You are and will always be in my heart. I love and miss you so much, Your Wife, Mongie

Two months ago today, God decided it was time for you to come home. I wish we could have had more time together but God must have needed your sense of humor. It's still so hard for me to believe you're gone. I see your things, hear a song or watch a TV show that reminds me of you and I just break down and cry. I know you're in a better place but I always felt your place was by my side. I wanted so much to grow old together. I love you so much and always will. You will always be in my heart.

Love your wife,
Mongie

Brother
I stoped by to visit.

I'am sitting there eating and crying..
They were tears of joy....
The memories were over welming but i wouldn't have done it any other way...
we loved going there as kids....
sitting in the back seat of our parents car waiting for them to order our food..
Hamburgers, fries and chillie beans..
But this weekend I spend with my sister Mary....She asked me .. What do you want to eat anything you want..
it took 2 seconds..
I want Marks Hot Dogs...
Another favorite place where our parents went.....
Hot dogs and Nachos....ummmmm

Brother,

I miss you so much. Each time the tears start to fall I think of you and mom in each others arms and that's how I get through the day.

On the morning of the day you passed the Lord told me to start the day early because it would be a busy day, he had something immensely huge planned. If I had known he was trying to tell me he was coming to take you home I would have jumped on a plane and rushed over to see you; even if only for a few minutes brother, I wish I could have had just a few more minutes with you.

I thank God for giving me the best brother ever. So kind hearted, worried about everyone; and filled with humor to always keep me laughing. Thank you for being you, thank you for being my brother. I love you so very much.

Rachel, Monica and Franchesca send their hugs and kisses to you. I'll see you again brother. Kiss mom for me.

Mr. Beltran,
You and Leticia always made me feel welcome in your home and I can't tell you how that made me feel. You were a good man and the proof of it lies in your daughter, Ube. You raised a great daughter! Hope you are enjoying your candy and the western movies.

My family 'buddy'; I can't believe you're gone. I truly miss you my brother-I needed one more trip with you to Disneyland; yours, Mongie's and my escape...
I picture you at God's huge buffet table, eating everything you desire and making everyone laugh too!!! Love you, your "favorite" (haha) sister-in-law...

Fred - my cousin in-law and friend. I don't know how to start letting you know how much I will miss you. All the wonderful memories throughout the many years. The teasing we shared, jokes and how we all used to laugh so much and all the happy times in Tahoe and San Jose. You always treated my Son and me like family and for that I Thank You.
p.s. I will watch over Mongie for you.

Daddy... I will forever miss your laugh, smile, the beautiful sound of your voice and watching you play with your grandchildren. Will you ever know how you touched so many lives... they day you left this earth was the day a piece of me went with you; I know once we are together again, I will be whole. I love you daddy, I will miss your butterfly kisses!

Dear Brother, It's so very hard to beleive that you are gone. Although I didn't get to see you as much in your last years, but I will cherish the years we were very close when I lived in San Jose, I will never forget how much you loved me and were ready to protect me in a heart beat. I will miss your sense of humor and your tennis balls. I will miss you being Christina's godfather as well as my big brother. You are and will always be in my heart. Knowing your with Mom is a great comfort to me and to know that your both watching over us. I Love You xo

To the loving family of Fred and to his dear wife Leticia- I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, father, grandpa, and brother. May his sweet memories and infectious laughter live on. Don't stop telling stories of him to his kids and grandkids. Although I only met him a few times, he put a smile on face. It's so obvious that so many family members and friends will be missing him. Monge, my heart aches for you. Hang in there. Know that he is smiling down on all of you from heaven and you will see him again. God Bless you all.

To my Husband,
It's only been 3 weeks and I miss you so much. Although I can sense you are near, the nights are so lonely without you. We were together for so many years that it's hard for me to image my life without you. I only need to look at our children and grandchildren to see you through them. You always used to tell me that we would all miss you when you were gone because of all the silly things you used to do to make us laugh and you were right - We all miss you and love you. You were my first and only love. You'll always remain in my heart - until we meet again.

Your Wife, Mongie

Uncle,
I will remember how you got up every morning to give my mom and me a ride to work and school.
We had lots of fun and you made me feel special.
I will always remember how you would bring me ding dongs and ho hos
Every time we pass the Burger Bar I think of the last time you took me and mom, I could tell that place was special to you and mom and I asked her why?
What she said was it wasn't the food that was so good, it was the memory of when you were kids. That's the place your parents would take you kids' It was hamburgers, fries, and chillie beans.
Now its a place were me and mom go.
Now this is a place of good memories for mother and myself
We all miss you so much uncle
love and kisses xoxoxo
