I remember.... I remember going to your apartment.  I was all of seven years old.  I remember the laughter as you played kid games with me and we would run around your apartment.  I remember spending weekend nights during the summer.  I remember helping to rearranging the pieces of the living room sectional to create a small bed for me.  I thought it was awesome because the backrest of the couch always made it feel as if my bed was a fort.  I remember your voice - strong and friendly.  I remember your smile.  Uncle Johnny ... I will always remember you because you a part of my heart now and always.  Thank you so much for your love and care.  I have no doubt one day I will see you again. Love you always, Eddie. 

My heart is melting and I can not believe that my Dear Uncle has passed away...memories I can share a lot. He was a huge part of our lives when we moved to Florida because within a few years he was here with us and even though he had a new family the memories we made were meant to be. I cannot explain why but I can say that he never yelled, he never cursed, he was always happy and interested in having fun. We went camping and lots of late night fishing off of the pier and inter coastal...Dania Pier. We even would go night crabbing in his maverick with buckets and chase down crabs and my dad and him would use thongs  to catch them and put them in the buckets.  He had a moped and our house was about a block away from his duplex and we would hear him coming up the driveway on it....so funny to see...polyester pants, shinny shoes, white camisa under his shirt that was never buttoned up with those cop sunglasses on. We would take turns riding it down the street with him. I remember his laugh and how he loved being around his sister, my mom. He loved to dance, yes him and Tia Olga could salsa like no two others. Our family has lost a big part of it and I know his sisters will never be the same. I’m going to miss you and I will always hold you near and close to my heart. I love you Tio Johnny...no more pain. Just rest and sleep. Always...Debbie

Dear Dad,
You are at peace now. I wish we could've spent more time together. I will miss you very much and always love you.
Your Son,
Juan (Johnito) Mendez
