Dad.  
It has taken me so long to write something because I’m incredibly heartbroken not having you here. My best memory of you when I was a kid was going to get a snow cone at a house down the street from grandpa Pio’s and grandma Molly’s house. I shared that memory with you, and it brought a smile to your face. 

Do you remember buying me my first softball glove?  That was the best gift ever!!  I played with that glove for years. I even kept the webbing together with shoe laces so I could keep using it because it was from you!

I have learned an important lesson from you, we are on borrowed time and I need to make the most of my time here on earth. I am so sad you are gone but so grateful you are no longer suffering. 

I love you always!

I will miss my uncle Eddie but  one day I will see him again!!!  He is not suffering anymore no more pain!!

My mom and uncle Eddie are together again in heaven !!!

This picture is from his sister Vera funeral.

Uncle Eddie was someone that seemed to always be there when I was a kid. He was the fun uncle. He liked to keep his family close. He was a family man. And we know that he loved all of his kids deeply. I will surely miss the text messages he would send me for almost every holiday. Even mother's Day. I Remember the talks on the phone that he would have with my mom and they would go on for a while. When I was a kid I remember going to Uncle Eddie's and he would make us feel right at home. He didn't want us to be shy. But there was another side to Uncle Eddie and that was his love to scare the little kids. One memory I have of that was when he put on a green bloody monster mask that covered his head . My cousins and I were sitting in a partially dark room and he made a loud scary noise and we all looked at the window that faced  the backyard and it was Uncle Eddie standing there with the scary mask on and we all screamed  and got up and ran..We were so scared. Uncle Eddie got a kick out of it and would bust up laughing every time. We know his suffering is over and we know he's in the arms of Jesus .  ❤️

I will miss you grandpa. I remember when you went to my kindergarten graduation. And I took a picture with you. I will really miss you🥹 And I saw you dance  before you passed away 🥹. And you will always be at my baseball game watching me from heaven❤️ Amen love you grandpa Eddie❤️ love Chris.

Eddie,
Thank you for being such a wonderful grandpa to my Cynthia. She will forever cherish your last conversation and hold those words close to her heart. The love, wisdom, and kindness you shared will continue to guide her as she carries your memory with her. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

I love my grandpa always. This was probably one of the first times I convinced him to swim with me, and it’s one of the happiest I can remember.

It is with profound sadness that I learned of the passing of my Uncle Eddie. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt love extends to my cousins, Michael,  Lisa,  Charlie,  Richard,  and Elaine. I hope you find peace and comfort through your cherished memories during this challenging time. May God's love surround your family during this time of sorrow.  Love, Raymond Sotelo Escobar.

Going to miss you Grandpa.
Thank you for all you have done for me. For picking me up after school all throughout high school and buying me food to make sure I was never hungry, for letting me practice driving in your car, for going to my baseball games, for driving me to work when I didn't have a license, for always taking me out to eat during summer vacation, and much more. I will forever be grateful to have you as my Grandpa ❤️🕊️

I’ve been dreading this day for so long, and now that it’s here, it feels unreal. My grandpa was one of the most important people in my life. We shared birthdays together, which always felt so special, and now it hurts knowing we won’t get to celebrate them side by side anymore.I think about all the summers I spent with him, the memories we made, and how those times shaped who I am. Those summers will always stay with me, and they’ll always remind me of his love. I’ll also miss the little things, like him always asking me for help on his phone or having me type a simple message for him. Those moments seemed small, but now I realize how big they really were.It breaks my heart that he won’t be here to see me graduate high school. Grandpa, I’ll miss you every day. I’ll carry your lessons, your love. Love you forever 🩷

Dad you were my world, my everything and even though we had our moments, you meant the world to me.  I was Never going to leave you and stayed to the very end to take care of you.  I will Always miss you and never stop crying for you, sad and happy tears will always be with me.  A part of me is gone, now that you left but you also left a part of you with me. And I  will soon learn to carry on.  I love You sooo much. I’ll miss our every single day morning calls and me coming over every single day. But most of all. I’ll miss you so much.

To the man that was like a second dad to me. Thank you! Thank you for opening up your home and giving me a roof over my head when I got pregnant and was scared out of my mind. Thank you for being an amazing grandpa to my kids. For every school pick up, assembly, baseball game, and dance recitals you attended. You were always a big part of our lives and we will miss you dearly. I will miss yelling at you like you were my kid when you got stubborn. I will miss all the good morning texts. I will miss YOU. I love you and I was so honored to call you my father in law 💖 May you be rejoicing and dancing in heaven with our lord and savior. I Love You!

Dad, I’ll forever miss you. I’m heartbroken over your loss. Every morning is tough not hearing your voice and receiving your good morning text messages. Just know dad, Imelda’s amazing and she’s getting me through this tough time.
