In Memory of my Welo
Through out the years you've always been a wonderful man..you see when i was small you took the time to bounce me on your knee. As i grew older you were there i only had to call. I knew that i could count on you you'd never let me fall. During hard times in my life you've helped to get me through, I'm so glad God's given me a granpa just like you.
I'm going to miss my Welo but i know he's in a better place. God took him from us quickly but we must not ask why. I will always remember when I would go to his house the first thing he would do is hug me. I'm going to miss my Welo but i will always have him in my heart..And so must you.
Love...Grandaughters,
..Kelsey Angelique Cruz, Kailey Amber Cruz..and Kayla Roze Cruz..

You are all in our prayers for we could not be there with we you through this hard time. I just wanted reminisce a bit when the bakery was up and running my tio Pedro and Molly made my my son Alex's first birthday cake. This my wife and I will never forget for we could bearly afford diapers and he would not accept payment, Pedro made our day by simply baking a cake for my sons special day. I hope he knew how much joy he brought to peoples lives when they saw his creations on there special day?
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
