Dad, Today we lay you to rest. Just know that you will missed. Growing up as a child I thought you the greatest. I often thought you did not want me to have any play time. As I grew up I realized that everything you taught me you were preparing for life and it’s challenges. I thank you dad because without all that I would not be the man that I am today. You will forever be in my heart and always in my mind. I just wished that with all you did and said to prepare me for life and it’s challenges you would have prepared me for how to deal with losing you. I love you dad and miss you so much !!

Grandpa, I wish I could have seen and talked to you one last time to tell you in person how much I love you. I know you are watching over all of us now and I know that you can see how much we miss you and love you. Im thankful for all of the memories that we have together. I remember you walking on the beach fully clothed, with your vest, jeans, and boots at five in the morning and I thought grandpa is crazy! I remember helping you learn to use a computer, it was hilarious! Especially when we convinced you to make an e-harmony because we thought you were too lonely. But you werent ever lonely at all because you always had so many people who loved you and cared for you. I always enjoyed all of your phone calls and you telling me about your life. Oh, what I would do to hear my mother saying one more time, Yesenia, heres the phone, its your grandpa. I really do believe that your the best, funniest, badass, coolest, hardworking grandpa in the world. There are so many memories of you that I tell often and I will always hold them dear to my heart. I will always love you and remember you. Please watch over us from heaven and rest easy grandpa. No more getting up at 4am!!! -Yesenia
