You were called home, my beloved Tio Cruz. Heaven has gained a cherished angel.

You are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and will forever be in our hearts.

We will meet again someday, and I know you are in a better place. I am grateful that God made you my uncle while you were here on earth.

I envision you in heaven, with your mother and my father, creating delightful chaos together. Until we meet again, Tio. I love you.

My deepest condolences to Lupita, Juan, Gavino, Cruz Jr, Robert, your grandchildren, your siblings, and the entire family who is heartbroken by your passing. I send everyone love and light during this difficult time.
