My Dear Papi, We miss you each and everyday and not a day goes by that I don't think or talk about you. You are my shinning star and who I strive to be like, to know you is to love you even the neighbors still talk about your kindness and beautiful smile. We cheered to you on Fathers day and we thought about you on the anniversary of your death. But most of all we think about our life with you and the great memories.

Will never forget Jorge. One day at work, Jorge asked me to change 5 one hundred dollar bills into $20. dollar bills on my daily bank run. When I got back from work I had the money in an envelope for Jorge and was looking for him in the front office. There was a problem in the office I had to take care of and got sidetracked. When Jorge came to ask me about the money, I realized I had left the envelope in the lobby receptionist desk, but as we ran downstairs to look for the envelope it was gone and no one remembered it. I offered to replace the money since I had misplaced it but Jorge would not hear of it and we settled for half. Thank you Jorge that just showed what kind of man he was,.

We live next door to Jorge, Beatriz and Patty. Jorge never missed a time when seeing one of us to wave and blow us a kisses. Never have I met a man with such love - the Love of Christ - whose kindest heart showed through every moment. I miss seeing him looking out the front window, waving as we walked by, just the presence of his Spirit. May you Rest In Peace, Man of God.

Oh how I will miss you Papi - your wisdom, kindness, love, understanding, and so much more. You were always there to support and give a helping hand, or to advise, and counsel whenever it was needed. I love you and miss you.
