Happy Birthday, Dad!! We all really miss you! Wow, today would be your 69th birthday! I like to imagine your still here and just off enjoying retirement somewhere. Just busy and enjoying life in some foreign paradise! Okay, you'd probably tell me you'd prefer to be stateside. Haha I love you, Dad! Thanks for being an awesome Dad! Wish you were here.

It's been so sad without you here Honey. I'm sure Christmas was Beautiful up in Heaven since You Gained Your Angel Wing's. I cried for You Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We all miss you so much. It's hard not seeing you sitting on your chair watching T.V. or walking outside with the Boy's.  I will always Love and Miss You Until we meet again. Forever Humberto & Margarita  🙏💔❤️😘

I Miss You So Much Honey...How I Wish We Could Turn Back Time 💔😢 What Do I Do Now? 

I wake up everyday crying for you Honey I miss your hugs. Sitting outside talking and holding hands. I still ask you what do Honey? It's so hard being here without you. It's sad when you want to talk to Our Children and you just want a hug be held and cry. I kept telling you to go to the hospital you just weren't you that last weekend you came home. I just never expected to lose you so soon. I will always Love You Honey Forever.

It's so sad here without you. I hope you can hear me when I sit here and think about you and talk to you. I Love You so much 💔 R.I.P. My Love.... Humberto and Margarita Forever

I Miss You Honey more and more each day. I will always Love You it's so lonely not having You around. I want to hear Your voice Your laughter. I want the phone to ring and hear Your voice but I know Your resting and Your with Mom and Pop.  Humberto and Margarita Forever ❤

Well Hpney it's a New Year 2021  it's hard not having you around. Your going to be gone 2 yrs and it breaks my Heart.  They told me the 2 yrs is the hardest boy it's so true. It's almost like it's a rerun of that day you left to Your Heavenly Home. Ryan has been having so many melt downs wants to take you flowers and so do I but it's so hard right now. My Kaysen says Mimi I miss Popo. Chelsea too still breaks down alot and cries. You go days without turning the T.V. on but when I ask You to let us know your still here to please turn it on. You do it and I Thank You for that. Hito, Janie, Kayla and the Kid's came for New Year's it was so good to see them again. I felt your presence here but I missed my T.G., Roe and Davin. We Miss You Honey it's not the same without you. There's no laughter here anymore and it's sad. I Love You Honey Forev e r Until we meet again 💔
 


Oh Honey how I've thought about you everyday. Yes, I still cry for you everyday. I still look and wait for you.  I know I need to let you rest now. Watch over our Daughter Honey the news we are getting from Doctor's is not good. You can talk to God and ask him to heal her. She's Our Daughter and I wouldn't trade her for anyone in the World. Now that the Doctor told me what's wrong I understand what she's been going thru. I'm mad why didn't they catch that when she was a Baby. You were the Best Daddy with Our Children and I Thank God he gave me such a Wonderful Husband. Thank You for the Memories You Blessed me with. All the travels we had.  I will miss you forever it get's harder everyday. They say it's harder on the 2nd Heavenly Anniversary and I'm so scared. I will go visit you soon My Love 🙏💔

My Love been thinking so much about you. I feel so lost without you I feel all alone. Yesterday I got to talk to Sonia, Lorena, Diama Duque and Nora ( I know you would have called her for her Birthday) Today Alma we talked about so many Memories of You. I hope you hear me when I talk to you. They say you can. It's hard here without you I miss sitting outside talking and holding hands with you. I Love You Honey and I Miss You so much.

Happy birthday Pops. Miss you very much. Love you.

Happy Birthday, Dad! We miss you very much! 

Happy Heavenly Birthday Honey. I was so used to getting up and start cooking and then going to you saying Happy Birthday Honey. You'd say Happy Birthday to Me and I'd give You a big hug and kiss. I miss you so much now all I do is sit here and cry and think of the memories. I will love you forever Honey. Kisses from me to You Honey all the way to Heaven.  ❤😘🤗

Happy Anniversary Honey. We always called each other just to say Happy Anniversary I love you. I'll always remember our Wedding. Day that was a Beautiful Day. I will never forget that. I'm missing you like crazy it's going to be a hard day. They say when we cry your right beside me with your arms around me. I know I can feel you. I Love You Honey until my last breath here on earth you will always be my Husband. ❤😘

Well Chelsea had her Birthday she cried for You. You always called her for her Birthday or come home.  She said I miss him telling me Happy Birthday Girly Girl. You Go Rest High on That Mountain. We love You and Miss You 💞

I got up today feeling really bad Honey.  Had dreams about you again I have to let you go now. It's hard for us dealing with your loss.. I'm miss you everyday. Today marks your 1yr 7 month Heavenly Anniversary. Never leave me Honey. I want you do be waiting for me when it's my time to go. I look at your pictures everyday. You'll be my Husband Forever I will always love only You. You rest now as long as I'm here I will always be here for Chelsea and the boy's they have no where to go. I surely won't let them go out there and suffer. It's bad down here on earth with this panademic going around. My Heart will never be the same it's torn in half. 💔 Humberto & Margarita Forever .

I miss you Honey. I never knew I was going to be going thru all this. I feel like it's me all alone. No one will ever know how much my Heart hurts without you. I will never stop missing you wishing you were still with me.

Miss you Pops. I miss hearing your voice and your laugh. Love you.

It's almost the 16th of the Month again Honey. I can't breathe my Heart hurts I hate the 16th. I wish you were still here with me. Everytime I'm doing something like cooking or cutting grass I miss you so much I have you deep in my thoughts. I was thinking about the time you were measuring outside. You said Honey come stand on the measuring tape so I did. You went to the patio and sat down  I said. .Honey, How long do I have to stand here.? You said oh I'm sorry Honey I'm done you can come in now and started laughing.  What a joker you were I miss your laughter so much. I miss your hugs telling me you loved me. I'm so sorry you were alone Honey when you left this world. I'm sorry I wasn't there to hold you. I wish you would have just listened to me and not go to work.  Honey, I wish I could turn back time. I'd never let you go. Your always in my dreams in my thoughts. I can sometimes hear you clearly saying...Honey. Rest In Your Heavenly Home My Love. Sing in the Angels Choir You loved to sing. Until we meet again I will Always Love and Miss You 💔😇

Happy Father's Day! I miss you and wish you were here. We all miss you, you were a very positive figure in a lot of lives and you are greatly missed.  I love you, Dad! 

"Happy Heavenly Father's Day" Honey. I'm missing you being here. You know I'd be cooking and BBQuing for You right now.  Letting you sleep late until the food was ready. Ryan still breaks down crying for You. I've cried a million tears since yesterday. Praying I could find a ride to the Cemetery. I'd ask Joe but You know he gives me a headache. I felt so bad his missing Sheila so much at least he got to take her flowers yesterday. We talked so much about us being buried here in Alice. I'm sorry Honey I wasn't in my right mind. I'm glad your there in Falfurrias though with all Your Loved once. I Miss You Honey and I Love You so much 🙏💔😘

It's not getting any easier Honey. I think it's getting harder crying for You everyday. I think of all the Good Memories we had. I loved your jokes but not the one when it snowed and you held my head in the snow like Dumb and Dumber but we had a good laugh. Oh how I Miss You I've been crying all day hoping I get a call from one of Our Son's. I want one of them to hold me and just have a good cry. I'm sorry we haven't been able to go to the Cemetery. I know You already know the Boy's and Chelsea are missing You so much too. We Love You Forever and We Miss You like crazy.

It's been 1yr3months since you've been gone. They say the Memories are good well I've got so many. You being right beside me all the time when we traveled. It's not getting any easier I dream you a lot. I still wake up and go to the window to see if you drove up. I still jump when the phone rings wishing it was your voice I would hear. I love you Honey I'm missing you more and more each day. I don't tink I'll ever be okay ever again. With all this mess I can't even go visit you. 💔 You took my Heart with You when You left.

Miss you Pop. Happy Easter. I wish you were still here. Love you and miss you so much.

I was just here thinking about you Honey. All the Good Memories we had. Yesterday we were talking about Timothy. He made us laugh especially going after your keys. We all Loved Timothy. Today I found out he has gone to His Heavenly Home also. I Love You Honey I Miss You. I'm crying for You and for Timothy so young 💔 Watch over him Honey.

I went to Church this morning Honey. I miss those Sundays when we'd go to Church and hold hands. I miss you so much sometimes it's hard to go on day and night without you. I go to bed crying talking to you. I wake up crying talking to you.. I know your Spirit is with me I can feel you. I'll Love You Forever Until we meet again My Love ❤

"Happy Heavenly Valentine's Day " Honey. Missed having You call me and tell me you Lobed me. I miss you sending me flowers but I still have all the ones I dried up when you'd send me some.  I think about you all the time. all the Beautiful Memories. I Love You and I Miss You.

Why, I still ask myself?  It's been 1 year and it doesn't get any better. There's not one day that goes by that I don't think of you I sit outside at night and talk to you. I think about us having our conversations and you holding my hand. I Miss You telling me You love me and kissing my forehead. 

Love you, Dad! This was a fun day! Wish we could have done it again!!

I miss ya, Dad! Life has sure changed in the past year, I still forget your gone and want to call you to share my day with you. It's pretty rough actually but we go on I guess. I love you and wish you were here. 

Had my last conversation with you one year ago today Pop. Before we hung up you told me you were proud of me and you loved me. I'm glad I got to say I loved you too that day. I didn't know it was going to be the last time we spoke. I never got to say how proud I am of being your son. You taught me how to work hard and be a good man. I know I was stubborn at times and did crazy things but you never gave up on me. You  loved me unconditionally no matter what stress I put you and Mom through growing up. Thank you for that Pop. Thank you for making me a better man. I try everyday to make sure I make you proud, I know you are watching me so I won't let you down. I love you, I miss you and I will pass down everything you taught me to my kids. You're still here. I love you.

Oh Honey Your still with me. Your always going to be with me. I feel You around me and there are times I can hear You talking to me when I'm asleep. I always wake up thinking about You all the time. I Love You and I Miss You My Love 💔 I Wish You were here.

Honey I Miss You so much it's just not the same without. I still sit here waiting for a call from you or just waiting for you to open the front door saying...Hi Honey I'm home getting my big hug and kiss on my forehead. Thanksgiving was sad didn't do anything you weren't here. Christmas I held it together until everyone left I broke down. I think about you all the time my crying starts I think you know that. Please always stay with me I have to feel you around me. I know your with Mom and Pop and My Daddy and all our loved ones in Heaven. God Bless You My Love Rest In Paradise.

Today is Thanksgiving Pop. I miss you so much, wish you were still here. It hasn't gotten easier that's for sure you are one of a kind Pop they broke the mold after you. Love you and miss you.

Happy birthday Dad. I miss you so much, more and more as each day passes. Today I would have called you and we would have had a 2 hour conversation lol. I miss our talks everyday. I miss the morning talks, the noon time talks and the evening talks. I just miss hearing your laugh and your funny stories. God bless you Dad. I love you.

My Darling Husband, I know when I sit here and talk to you. You hear me. I miss you everyday every minute everynight. You know I keep asking God to wake me up from this heartwrenching dream but I know he needed You. You took my Heart with you Honey. My Wonderful Memories of You holding my hand and our talks will always be in my Heart. I miss your arms around me I miss your kisses on my forehead I miss you rubbing my leg. We have always talked about forgiveness and I have done that you know what I've been going thru.  I'm glad we had those talks. I just wish you were still here. God Bless You Honey You rest now. We will meet again and it will be Beautiful. Humberto and Margarita "Forever"  Always in My Heart. Thank You for being my Amazing Husband.

I miss you pop. You were an amazing man. You taught me so much I never realized it till now. You were the best father anyone could have ever had. Rest easy pops. Love and miss you so much.
