THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU, AFTER 25 YEARS TOGETHER, THATS PRACTICALLY A LIFETIME, TU DIRIAS QUE 25 ANOS ES COMO UN MINUTO .."DE BAJO DEL AGUA" AY, TINO COMO ME HACIAS REIR, TODOS LOS DIAS CON TIGO FUE UNA RISA TRAS OTRA. SUFRISTE MUCHO LOS ULTIMOS ANOS, PERO SE QUE TU RECOMPENSA ESTABA EN EL CIELO, GRACIAS POR TUS PALABRAS DE ALIENTO QUE ME DISTE LA ULTIMA HORA DE TU VIDA AQUI EN LA TIERRA, I LOVE YOU TINO.

Growing up I always remember our grandpa being the life of the party always smiling telling jokes and making everyone laugh and have a good time. I also remember him preaching on the radio and tv spreading the word of God. I thank him for planting the seed of eternal life through Jesus Christ in my family, friends, and people he came across in his life. I know God has a plan for him and can already here him shouting Alleluia Gloria Dios in the kingdom of heaven. Love you Grandpa Tino and see you later give xoxo to my Daddy for me.
