To Mary and family,

"Beauty comes in many ways".. However, true beauty comes deep within ones soul. Mr. "T" had the inner beauty that made him valuable to his family, friends and God. Though I will miss him, I know he is with you and all of us. His beautiful warmth and spirit will carry on!



With Love &

Fondest regards,

Julie

Not knowing how much you miss someone till you realy loss them. Tio Topete was a great man, one who helped all and never pushed anyone way. He was a great person to our family.

I will never forget him, which he touched many people in different ways.

Tio Topete will never be forgotten.



Tio you are now in a better place and we will join you when God feels that is our turn to join you and all our love ones.



I Love You Tio
