Today is the 13th anniversary of my brother Carlos passing into eternal life.
I still miss talking to him often on the phone, and seeing him whenever he came back to Chicago. He was the eldest in a family of 5 brothers.
He's still warmly remembered by so, so many family members and friends.
Unfortunately he left us way too soon. I remember him daily, but all the more on the more memorable days like today.
So I'll just say,...... "Till we meet again Carlos, rest with our ancestors in our Lord's embrace."

It's been 12 years today, but your memory remains fresh in our minds. Throughout eternity you will remain our brother.
In Photo, Dad, Mom, and Carlos.

My Dear brother Carlos,
It's now been 11 years since you passed into eternal life, and of course you're still missed.
I've been retired since June of 2016, and I often think about how we could now be visiting with each other more often than we did before, but now I can only visit your memory in my mind, but I know one day we'll have that family reunion in eternity.

You lived an exemplary life.
Always a good father, son, brother, and friend to so many.
Rest eternally in Gods kingdom with our ancestors.
