Randy/Steve,
My belated sympathy on the passing of your father. I know you are still feeling the physical absence of his unconditional love and support for you and your families, but I'm sure you are comforted with the assurance that he is with our LORD and continues to look down on you with a more pure and greater love he now possesses in the presence of God.
July 1, 2013
I am still coming to grips with this reality. I want you to know how sad I am for you guys and your mom. Grieving is a long process and I don't know if one can stop.
I still grieve for my mom, grampa and others too. I believe that the best way to get through is to keep going, sounds easy, yea, but there are some days that my internal GPS is not working and I am lost. Anyway, know your pop as well as you guys and your mom will always be in my prayers as well the rest of your family. Until then, I am very proud we are the family we are.
Love always, Tony

Dear Emma, Randy, Steve and the entire Carrillo family,
You were blessed to have such a wonderful and loving person to share in your lives. We enjoyed visiting with him while he was here and will miss him now that he is gone to a better place. He was very proud of his family and their success and was known to take our his wallet and show pictures he carried with him always. to tell how proud he was of his sons and the success of their accomplishments. I will always remember our many chats sitting on a bench between Mariachi Cobre sets. Thank you, Leo, for being a significant part of our lives.

Dear Emma, Randy, Steve and All the Carrillo family: Deepest condolences on the passing of a truly fine man – a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and brother. At an early age, I learned of primo Leo's great sense of humor when we visited the Carrillo family's home. Leo made our lives better by bringing smiles to our faces with his jokes. He also had a serious side, a devoted work ethic and a deep love for Our Lord. Nothing made Leo happier than listening, with Emma at his side, to Mariachi Cobre and celebrating the success of Randy, Steve and the entire group. Primo Leo, may you rest in peace and continue to enjoy mariachi from heaven.

Emma and Carrillo family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Mr Carrillo was always jokingly telling me to remind my mother, Naya Ortiz to pay him what she owed him. I never knew what that was till recently, something about a joke with gum she played on him and some friends when they were young in Barrio Anita. Leo always asked about my family whenever I saw him, and his kind words always were appreciated.
June 3, 2013
To the Carrillo Family,
There are so few words that one can say to ease the pain,but know that there is a lot of love and caring reaching out to you. We will never forget Leo he was so special and will always remain in our hearts.

I was so saddened by this news. Randy and Steve's family were so welcoming to me and I will never forget their warmth and their welcome to me con Los Brazos Abiertos. I know what it's like to lose your mother and father. I may be wrong but after my father's passing I didn't want to sing anymore, but my family convinced me that through my continuing I honored my father and mother. Leo, May you rest in peace and encourage other mariachis in heaven and let my dad sing to the Glory of God.
My love and prayers for Leo, and his sons,Randy and Steve.
God bless you all,
