When I was little, my Mom was good at sewing clothes for me and herself. She made us matching dresses and sewed the only kind of pants that I was comfortable wearing.  She and my Dad were quite skilled at sewing covers for all their household items like the oddly shaped table, mini ottomans, car seats and wicker chair cushions. My Parents liked dancing at parties, bowling in a team league, playing tennis on a summer day, and at one time, creating ceramic figures, jars, and a clock. We still have that first clock and jar that they created. My Dad taught my brothers and me how to be handy around the house and learn how to fix things before hiring someone. My Dad is the main influence my brothers and I like photography. He took photographs when we traveled to some scenic place or when we attended special events and occasions. I thank him for blessing us with this extraordinary hobby. He taught us the best way to preserve our beautiful memories. My Parents were always grateful for and appreciated what they had. They gave to family and various charities when they had the means. My Mom taught me how to pray not just to remind us that God loves us, but also to always say Thank You to our Lord. My Parents basically took care of Gabriel and Garrick since they were babies. My parents attended preschool graduations, grandparents’ days, open houses, 8th grade celebrations, band performances, sports events, first communions, confirmations, graduations and birthdays. They were that special support for each of my sons’ stepping stones in life. I Love you so much Dad and Mom. Thank you for your beautiful love, for your generous hearts, for all that you have done, provided and taught me during your presence in my life. You were the most important Blessings in my life. Rest in Peace and in Love Forever with the Lord. Please watch over Garrick and give him our Love... Until we are reunited.
Love You Guys Forever, 
Your Daughter, Deanna Lara Arcilla

Violets are Blue

My Grandpa Frank and Grandma Vi were the only grandparents I ever knew, and they were the best grandparents I could have ever had in any life time.  They were grand in every sense of the word.  They were the last line of defense whenever me or my late brother were in need in our early childhoods. They were the warm safe place when our close family got together.  And they were the life of the party everywhere they went as My mother, and their daughter, Deanna, always told me.  And they were rightfully so, as everywhere they went they uplifted everyone with a warm and welcoming energy.  Although I've only known them for but a fraction of their long lives, they've been there for me for the entirety of my life. Their presence has been one of the greatest blessings in my life, something I wish I never took for granted.  You always wish your loved ones could live forever, and although their time here on Earth has come to an end, I have no doubt my Grandma and Grandpa are living happily and peacefully in Paradise.  And they'll continue to live on in our memories and hearts, because their life will still be felt at each party from now on.

Love Forever Always, Their Grandson, Gabriel Arcilla

With our deepest sympathy words fall short of expressing our sorrow for your loss Donnie, Deanna, Hector and Family. Mom and Dad was such an inspiration to many of us. I love them both so much coz they accepted me and welcomed me into your family from the day I first met them. They definitely made me feel and treated me like their own daughter. Mom and dad has always been lovable, supportive and a great advisor but most of all they've master how to be the best parents and grandparents anyone could ever ask for. That's why my Princess Dee always tells me "mom their my idol" and I totally agree and tell her "me too!! And their sense of humor is one of a kind😄 I will definitely miss their jokes and beautiful smile. I love you mom and dad💞!! May you both rest in paradise🙌. And may your souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen🙏

Grandma,

Thank you for sharing your light, kindness, and humor with us, your grandchildren. I’m so grateful to have spent the majority of my childhood with you. Thank you for sharing the importance of having dreams, doing what makes you happy, and giving when you can. Most importantly, thank you for setting an amazing example for the women in our family. I aspire to be as generous, successful, and as beautiful a human being as you. Lastly, thank you for sharing your funny bone with us, and giving us the skill of finding humor and light in all the right places. There’s so much more that I could write about, but that would take me years to do. I love you Grandma!

Forever & always,

Your Princess
