Will,
I wish we could have had some beers together now that I am here in Arizona. I remember all the stories my
Mom would tell me when she would visit you guys. She thought the world of you. You left this world to soon primo, but I know your in a much better place.
Salud ! Descanse en Paz

Hi will
I can't believe how long it's been without we miss you so much one thing I always think about with you is the Disneyland trip you were the first person to take me to Disneyland with Frankie Remember? Those were the good old days. I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that I still miss you we all do. You can come visit me in my dreams anytime you want. Say hi to David and Frankie for me, tell them I love them and miss them too. See you all in my hearts and dreams.
Carlitos.

My 3 goofballs with your 3 little goofballs! I wish you were here to know your grandkids, but I’m trying to be there for them like you would be. Their mom taught them to call me Nina so I feel very honored by that. We love you and miss you very much.

Nino, my one and only Nino.
It´s been a long time since you´ve been gone. It doesn´t feel like it, yet so much has changed. It´s crazy to think how such an amazing person left this world and how much hurt, hate, love, sadness, and confusion has roamed throughout these 12 years.... it only makes me wish you were here to make it all go away. How I wish I could have shared a brew with you and talk about all the good things that have happened, the troubled times we´ve been through, and the prosperity to come. It doesn´t even feel like that long, and I wish we could have been pals in my adult life. I know we would have been the best. I know you´re watching over us all, and all I ask for is to ease our hearts. That´s what you were good at because your heart was so big. I try everyday to live how you lived. It´s brought me heartbreak and happiness, but I wouldn´t change it just like I´m sure you would feel the same. I know you know, but you are always missed and are still very loved. Keep resting in peace.
Love always,
Chuck.

Will,
So it’s been 12 years and at times I still can’t believe it. To say we miss you would be a huge understatement. Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever gotten past the angry stage of grief but I know it’s pointless to even try to understand why you had to go. Well at least it gives some comfort that you’re up there keeping an eye on us. I love you brother.
always smiling

Hey Will,
I can not believe that we are rounding 2 years already, so many things have happened, so many things have changed. I still think of you alot, as of lately I've been thinking of when we were kids and all the stupid stuff we would do. The other day in church during the Our Father I look over and Silla & Jake are fighting with their hands on who's hand goes on the bottom and who's hand goes on top. I had to laugh to myself cause that is the exact same things me and you used to do, but the parent in me kicked in and I had to give them that stern look to knock it off. I couldn't get to upset though considering. There is so many things I wish I could've said before that day. I love you always

THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Dear Will,
I can’t believe you’ve been gone a year now and yet here we are. We miss you so much that it’s so hard to describe and yet we don’t understand how we go on without you but we somehow we do. There are days when I think I hear your big booming voice and for a second I expect to see you walk through the door and then the realization hits me like a ton of bricks and it takes my breath away. The pain at times is paralyzing, but we try to remember that is not what you would want and so we keep going. I thank God every day we were blessed to have you and could not have imagined our lives without you, and I guess there lays the problem. I love you.

Will,
You are in my prayers and you will truly be missed. I hadn’t seen you in about four years but that doesn’t mean I never thought or you. I always wondered how life was treating you. I wish I could have just had one more laugh with you, your smile, your laughter was truly heart warming to anyone that new you. I will always remember the good times we had and that smile that always got you out of something you shouldn’t have been doing in the first place lol . That’s what I loved about you, you always had a plan and if that didn’t work you would say oh well and just laugh. I will always carry those good times close to my heart. I am so very sad for your family and anyone you shared your life with, after going to your services I truly new in my heart that you touched so many peoples life’s and you grew up to be a very special person. May god give your family strength during this difficult time and may you rest in peace, till we meet again.
Mr. & Mrs. Rodriguez, My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. May God give you strength during this difficult time

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.
