The neatest thing happened today. Tomorrow is your four year anniversary.

You must be thinking of us brother and boy do we need you, our gaurdian angel up in heaven. We miss you so much. I can't tell you how proud I am to have you as my brother. Merry Christmas
Your lil sis, Christella

Dear Brother, tomorrow is a "difficult" day for all of us as we remember it being the 4th year you left this earth. We shed tears in memory of you. Last night I was looking through my photo album and came across many pictures of you. In every picture you were smiling, laughing and enjoying yourself. I could not bring myself to put them all back so I carried a few of them with me today. I don't need to say how amazing you were because anyone and everyone you met Knew this! I'll never forget the "DAY" you were there for me.... Merry Christmas from your little sister who misses you. Con amor, dottie

Dear Mr Uranga,
It's too bad I am not able to meet you. You left an excellent impression of who you are through your son and grandson. Everyday there is a reflection of you that goes noticed. Thank you for watching over us from heaven. Thank you also for putting your son in front of me. We will take good care of eachother. You raised your son with some excellent family values that he is sharing with all of us. Please keep sending us your light and strength and wisdom. You are our angel watching over us. The memory of you brings us comfort.

John Uranga, Jr.

Dad,
Where do I begin? it's been four long years since you left this us. I realize everyday how big of a shadow you cast. I notice your presence everyday whether it be in Daniel or in me. I wish you were here to enjoy your grandson in all that he does but I know that you are in heaven looking down on the both of us. He's so smart, huh! I thank God every chance I get for him.
Gosh Pop's it seems like it was just yesterday that you were screaming @ me to drive the ball to the basket. I thank for all your time and energy that you gave to me. It is my goal to be here for Daniel as much as you were for me. I still feel your presence in everything that I do. I apoligize for letting you down in some of my experiences in the past four years but I am making a vow to change so that I can reflect the positive, amazing, loving, smart, kind, gentle, strong, soft, enlightening, talented, handsome, polite, well mannered, funny, generous, etc. man that you are.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO HONOR YOU AND SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU WERE AND STILL ARE IN MY LIFE.
you are still my hero~
Love your son,
Johnny Joe
