Gonzalez Family,
I remember Johnny from school. Although it has been years, decades, since I last saw him, his smile is still the same: Bright and infectious.
May God give you the grace to endure this hard time triumphantly. God is close to the brokenhearted and to those who are in grief.
Sincerely,
Nancy

Mom,
You know I am always here for you if you ever need me! These pass couple of years have been hard. From loosing our beloved Scooter to me loosing me Dad. Now I have lost my other dad. When Johnny first got with my mom I wasn't very fond of him. As years passed he grow on me like a fungus! He and I always joked and made fun of each other. He made me a pro at capping on someone, I even got fast with the come backs then he was. After loosing my Dad it felt a little bit better knowing I still had Johnny, but now it twice as painful knowing I am without either. I will miss making fun with you Johnny. Avril will miss spending the night every night with you and you taking her to the beach. Ryan will miss the Diggy Ding song you sang to him and Rafa will miss having his friend to Bar-B-Que with and do projects with. Our house will never be the same. We Loved you so and we will miss the fun times and laughs you gave us. Say Hello to my dad for me and now you can sing the diggy ding song to Scooter. Give my son a HUGE hug and kiss from him momma, daddy, sister and little brother. We Love You Honey!

My condolances to you as I say this farewell .My Tio Johnny,I am blessed to say that God gracefully gave me the opportunity to get another chance to come in contact with you once again before you went on your mission to be with him for eternity.I remember years ago,I lost my beloved Father,your brother Fudgie,You and I had a conversation that since he has passed and did'nt get the chance to walk me down the isle when I made the commitment to marry you'd give me the opportuniy to step in his place as my father to give me away.My heart aches that you and I won't be able to expierience that together.But by chance I do take that step,I know you'll be there in spirit,as will be my Dad.I want to thank you for all the long talks and funny times we had together.No body can understand me like you did Tio,and I want you to know you made a difference in my life as a child as well as the young lady and mother I am today.I learned alot from the father you have been to your children over the years and it made me who I am today.I'm going to miss you,as I did throughout the years I did'nt get to see you.You have always been in my thought's and now you will stay in My prayers till I get the opportunity to meet with you again.Tio,I love you as I always have.You will be with me still.Much love tou always,and forever more.Your niece,
