Mom, now you have your viejito with you. It was hard watching him and hearing him cry for long periods at a time. You left a wonderful grandson who brought lots of joy to Dad when he was sad, I would argue with him and try to make him laugh and of course he would. But NO ONE could get me going like him. I LOVED my long days spent with Dad and Mella, your other daughter. Mom, she loved him and took care of him even on days she was not feeling well. V.G. is a great mother and Chopper a wonderful father. Before Joseph, I thought I was the responsible one and little did I know it was and has been and will continue to be V.G. She has so many of your wonderful qualities. I miss you both very much, but don't call me up too soon, I still have a lot of trouble to create and lots of headaches to give V.G. and Joseph. I love you V.G. for being yourself and having reared kids that I am proud to say I would put up against anybody.
Joseph is the pillar that God has put in my life and I lean on him and even though he believes in creation and not the same God I do, he knows you and Dad are up there some where looking down on us. That little ray of son that shines in my window and gets in my eye in the morning I will know it's you and Dad waking me each morning.

Connie/VG: I'm sorry to hear about your Dad but I will always remember him with a smile and won't forget how he would let us jump the backyard fance to go to the park. I know that sometimes he would pretend he was mad about it but he never removed the can/step. I'm glad he's with your Mom now. Take care. Enedina

Even tho I dint get to know you but a lil over 2 years, I will miss you. It will be wierd going into the home without seeing you in your chair or asking me for Matt or "VG" lol, or not seeing you in your room, or hearing you knock or yell for Matt.
I remember being pregnant, the last week or 2 and you asking me if I was ok and if I needed anything to Yell for you or Imelda and you would call "VG" for me.
I only wish you would have stayed strong a lil longer so Jeffery could have gotten to know you, we would always talk about what he would tell you or what he would do once he was able to talk & walk. But I am glad that you got to meet him and hold him a few times!!
Thank you for letting us stay with you, once again you will be missed!!
