Our hearts go out to Marcelo's Family. We just saw him out watching the junior team on Tuesday afternoon, something that he did often. He always had something kind to say to the kids. Madison and I will miss his smile. The club won't be the same without him in his chair, stringing rackets.

Marcelo, I will always remember you with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye. In case you were unable to read my email on July 27th, thank you for the thoughtful birthday wish. This is not good-bye as we will see each other again.

May the beauty of his life live on in your hearts.

Ancheta Family,
No time is ever enough when it comes to parting with our loved ones, so I'm wishing you the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding. May He keep your hearts and minds. (Philippians 4:7)

Thank you for all the wonderful memories over the years cuz! Finding a true friend in life is hard, but finding a good fishing buddy even harder. You were both to me and you will be truly be missed. I truly enjoyed your company both on and off the water over the years. I could always count on my cousin to be there when I needed him. You always showed up with a big smile, always contributed more than was necessary, and never were at a loss for words. I don’t think that anything made my cousin happier than being out on the water “smack n’ some lips.” I will cherish the memories and time we spent together forever. Someday we will meet again in heaven and when I get there you had better have a fishing report!

I'm not a person of many words. The only thing that comes to mind at this time is that you will be missed and I know you will be watching over your family.

Marcelo is a man who I have come to know as a man above other men. He was the best friend of a close freind of mine, Pat Milliken. I love him for the love he gave and the light he shed to others.

Brother,
Growing up, I always looked up to you as my hero. My tears I have are not for you as you are in a better place. My tears are for me, never wanting to let you go; just thinking how losing you is effecting me. I get better everyday with all the love and support from family and friends; you really have great friends Marcelo. As I come to grips with your passing I cherish the memories, as they put a big smile on my face and sometimes they make me laugh out loud too. I love you Brother, I will see you again. You are still my hero and I will always be your baby brother.

Marcelo,
I am so sorry to have missed thanking you for your birthday wish to me. I didn't realize that a friendship should be cherished. I wish I could go back. I wish I could talk to you. Life is so fragile and over too quickly. God Bless you.
