Pelon, Geez, I don't even know where to start..........I don't want to do this because in some way it would be accepting that you are gone and that will never be with me. I'm sorry Pelon that I have not written you or went to visit your grave, pero I still can't get it through my head that you are not with ma' en la casa. I love to "pretend" and I think to myself "Oh, ahorita ma' lo esta levantando" or "Lo esta bañando quizas ahorita", pero just coming back from El Paso, it really hit me when I went to church.........te buscaba y no estabas!!! I still stop myself from asking Ma' "Y el Pelon como esta?" W-H-Y??? Why you??? Why so soon? Why w/o warning? The only thing that keeps me going es mi fe en DIOS. I know that you are up there in heaven PRAISING GOD and being a good "Thyoo" taking care of Baby Joey! Plus, my anhelo es poder volver a verte aunque you won't be the Pelon we all knew, ya estaras hecho nuevo!! Hallelujah! Well ya casi se acerca el dia that you left us, it will be a bitter/sweet day for me, pero what better day than on Daniel's B-day (Le pego??? Le hablo a Jorge?) for you to have gone HOME!!! Pero GUESS WHAT PELON??? You have a new sobrino that reminds me todo de TI!!!! GOD blessed us with another "Special Person"!!! You would LOVE HIM!!! He has your smile, your hair, and your mouth (no la cierra!! Hahaha!). Pelon, I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! ~Your LALA ALWAYS~............."Granma, Papo, Carter, Danny, Licha, Manta (Magda), Lala, Daddy, Apa, Chacha, Paty, Lino, George, Cuca Cuca, Mami and many more WE ALL MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!

P.S. One thing YOU have to know is: I hope that you didn't think that we wanted you to go, that we wanted to leave you at the hospital. We wanted you to come home all better, pero GOD decided to take you instead. Save me a spot up there cause I hope to see you there someday! LOVE YOU!!!

If I could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
We would pray to god with all our
Hearts just see and speak to you
A thousand words wont bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind out broken hearts
And precious memories too
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you….


WE WILL FOREVER HAVE YOU IN OUR HEARTS......

Never Alone

I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make

You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look

Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever

Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone

I hate being alone because that just makes me miss you more. I hear noises and I think it you- but Its not. Only God knows why your not here with us, I just hope one day my head tells my heart that. Its almost going to be a year since you have been gone and it seem just just yesterday this happen. I still remenber everything, its so fresh in my mind. Pelon I love you and not a day goes by that I don't think of your. Its going to be hard in a few months becuase my dream was for you always to come out in my wedding and have you take for ever to walk down the asile, to have you dress in a tux looking all fine and you never wanting to take it off. Me asking you "Pelon como me miro" and you saying what you would always say " goooooood osa". Am going to start my family soon and believe me Naner they will know who there tio pelon was and how much he gave laughter to this family. Mugre Pelon no estas aqui :(

Pelon, oh god, have I missed you so much. There is not a memory of you that doesn't make me laugh or put a smile on my face when I think of you. Then I begin to think of the things you are going to miss or have happened without you. Its truly unreal to believe that one person can make such huge impact in our lives. But you did!!! When the world looks cruel and bleak, I think the world couldn't so bad if God could put such a special and lovable creature like you here. Its so hard not to cry when I think of you, the sorrow and the pain are so great that you could feel the hole in our hearts you lefted behind. But the vision of you in heaven gets me through. I picture you, Pelon, looking good; strong, tall,dark and very handsome chasing some girls in short shorts or short skirts like you did with me and Mousie. To my Tia Rosemary, I hope you can see my vision of Pelon and I hope it brings you some comfort with your pain and loss because he's in a world thats without it. So I thank you for bringing such a beautiful person like Pelon into our lives. I know with all my heart that he couldn't have asked for a better mother than you. With all my love and forever in our thoughts; Belinda, Robert, Jeffrey, Gianna and Gracie.

I even still remember the ride that we all took wit ma from texas to california. and the time when we were at the Mcdonalds one of your favorite places, and you wanted to eat all your hamburger and drink all your coke and Rosa had told you to eat first before soda and of course i was sitting across from you and you kicked me.....that was funny, i still can feel the kick til this day. and the time that you came to visit us you always had a smile on your face. and you would always say "carter car" I relize that you are up in heaven lookin down on all of us and of course takin care of your nephew joseph. But Why!!!! it wasnt your time, I miss you so much and I Know Carter does.... But we live with the memories we have of you and LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH.... I always eat m&m's, and all the little things i see that remind me of you brings a lil tear to my eye. and i just smile sayin to myself, that those are things you loved to see or do. So just so you know we always love you and have you in our hearts........FOREVER AS I HAVE OUR BABY JOEY TOO.... LOVE YOU MY BROTHER........from Bina, Carter, Anthony, and Lil Rachel....

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART, IN MY HEAD AND WITHIN ME.

JR, ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE WITH US. IT'S HARD TO SEE MY TIA ROSEMARY AND NOT LOOK AROUND FOR YOU. SO I CAN GIVE YOU A KISS AND HUG THEN I REMEMBER THAT YOU NOT "HERE". YOUR DEATH WAS SO VERY UNEXPECTED THAT I CAN'T COMPREHEND A WORLD WITHOUT YOU. I'M SORRY SOME UNEXPECTED OBLIGATIONS KEEP ME FROM ATTENDING YOUR SERVICES BUT YOU COULD OF NEVER HAVE BEEN FARTHER FROM MY MIND. MY MEMORIES OF YOU, I'LL ALWAYS CHERISH. I'LL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH, PELON!!! AND TILL I SEE YOU AGAIN. ALSO TELL "APA", "TIO GOYITO", "JOEY" AND "FELICIA". WE LOVE THEM AND MISS THEM VERY MUCH.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
