Dad..My heart broke the day you left us.I'm glad I spent the last few months with you helping mom and Bev take care of you. I saw you everyday, and gave you a goodnight kiss and kissed you in the morning. I miss your silly sayings,and how you gave a little jump when you walked, I miss hearing you whistle while you were doing things.I miss hearing you make up words to songs and how you made everyone laugh.I miss taking you on vacations with us. When I go to the house I sit in the spot where you used to sit and think of all the good times.We visit your grave often and sit there and talk to you.Mom misses you so much, so does Erika, Stevie, Adrian, Esai, Estevan and Henry. I will forever love you and miss you each and everyday of my life. Thank you for being the best dad and a wonderful Tata. Thank you for the precious memories. I'm not saying goodbye dad, I'm saying catch you later, the great-grandkids are giving you a big salute like you did when they left your house. Ten-Four..Rest in peace Dad. I love you. Diane

To Rudy, we worked together many years ago at Tucson Warehouse and Tranfer. I was a young man and he took me under his wing. I always respected Rudy and loved the way he would talk to people. He thought very highly of his family and helped me out when I lost my dad. He was always there for me. I use to call him Rod Taylor. He will be missed and thought of dearly. Good-bye my friend. Jimbo

Tata I never imagined my life without you. It still feels like a dream. You have been such a huge part of my life. Everywhere we went and everything we did you and nana were always there, but now you are resting with the angels. I'm going to miss our talks about the old days and the silly little things you would say. I love you more then words can express you meant so much to me. I will miss you like crazy but you will forever be in my heart. I LOVE YOU MY TATA!!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me
