Today I thaught of you and all are talks about everything and nothing sometimes sitting watching TV on the couch or warming up left overs just want to let you know you are missed and I am so glad that I had a chance to be apart of your life even if it was for a short while, please keep a close eye over your daughter for me I don't get to see her much but if I know her like I think I do she keeps to much inside and has a hard time letting people in to help her, and keep mom safe and protected. Rest easy, until we meet agian, oh and tell my old man hi and I love him to.

Hey dad Happy Thanksgiving and Happy late B-Day. Just checking in to let you know life still sucks. Nothing changed and I still can't get out of this funk. Maybe I never will. It's ok though it just means better things coming my way right.? Well I love you and miss you. I'll see you in paradise some day surfing them waves.

Thought of you yesterday. I started crying and couldn't hardly stop. I went with katie's class to see tomorrow land yesterday. And in the very beginning they went on the it's a small world ride in Disney land. Made me remember when you took us. I miss you so much. I even miss arguing with you. What I wouldn't do for just one more talk. I love you so much. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know what it's like to have a dad. You took such good care of me. I love you

Here goes by April, little Marie's, mine, and Tony's Birthday. I miss when you would take us to all of our birthday dinners. How much fun we had! Of course we all miss and love you like crazy. I still have no idea how I get by everyday without you here. I'm trying to hold this family together and my own life. It's the hardest thing I ever had to do. During these hard times I would call you but now I have no one to call. You were my rock and now I have to be my own rock. BIG HUGS DADDY and MALACHI
I love you dad so much! I would give anything to have you here. I would even give my life if I could change it!

Daddy please take care of grandma as she begins her journey with you today. Show her around and take her to cool places like you always have. I love you and miss you soooooooo much! Please let grandma know that I love her to.
Oh, shoot and you know mom loves and misses you everyday like crazy. Mom is double heartbroken now that she lost you and her mom. But I will always be here doing my best to help her stay on her feet no matter what.

Here it is the year 2014 and I just found this and now I can send my thoughts of JJ. JJ was a dear friend, funny, always helpful, loyal and dependable, fiercely devoted of his love of family and especially Lourdes. I loved hearing about his family and friends activities. JJ was a wonderful friend and I miss keeping in touch about our lives even after I retired and moved to Washington. I am so thankful JJ visited me and my husband, Jon, in WA the year before his passing. Jon so enjoyed meeting JJ...how could he not. I am still in shock, JJ was taken too soon, I miss my dear friend and "Bud". It was a week or so when I found out about JJ' s passing and I was heart broken .My thoughts are always with you Lourdes and your family. He leaves a big hole in this world. Sincerely, Nardine

Sorry I am so late in finding out about your passing. I will always remember your sense of humor and sweet smile. I miss not having lunch with your occasionally. You always talked about your wonderful family. My thoughts are with you, Lourdes and family. He was loved by so many at SMUD. Sorry this response is so late, but I never dreamed he would be taken so soon...

There wouldn't be this sadness,
If you were still here....
Nothing's the same,
Without your shining face near.....
Holding us together,
like mom's gorilla glue...
You were the rock,
Who we all held onto....
If He would've know,
What u meant to us....
Then you would still be here,
Instead of this space full of dust.....
Although you'll continue,
to live in each heart....
We'll all feel that emptiness,
Of Him keeping us apart.
Miss you dad.

Dad,
One year ago today we were in RENO having a great time. Then two weeks later you were taking from us, without a damn sign. Had know clue! Just gone! Saddest day of my life. I thought it was unreal. But I was wrong. So so wrong!
I'm so proud to say that you are my dad because you taught me so much. Number one thing, to trust NO ONE. I love you daddy-o but most of all I miss you more then anyone will ever know. I hold my emotion in just like you and I know I shouldn't. I'm taking care of mom the best I can but I'm sure if I hurt this much then she must hurt 100x more!
I never thought of my life without you cause you always said you were going to out live all of us (mom, tony & I). I really wish you did. We all depended on you so much. Just know that I love you, the kids love you & mom really really loves you. Until I see you again, because I will... Even if I am a turtle.

J.J. You showed such kindness to my parents and I will never forget it. I know that anyone as kind as you will be in heaven looking down on your family. Mom and dad always considered themselves as part of your family and you and Lourdes always treated them that way. May God bless your family and help them in their time of loss.

Lourdes and Family, I am so sorry to hear about JJ's passing. I worked with him for 11 years while in Engineering/Drafting. He would call from time to time to say hello. I know how very much he loved his family. We talked about family alot. JJ was a good man! I will miss him. You and your family are in my heart and prayers. God Bless you all.

To Lourdes and Family,
Ours prayers and condolences to you on the lost of Julio. He was so much fun to be around and a true friend who would go out of his way to help you any way he could. I will always remember the hiking trips at Tahoe, family parties, and the time he ended up with a popcorn bucket on his head at one of the many New Years Eve parties we celebrated together. I know he is in a better place and is watching over all of us.

My prayers are with the Apilado family. I worked with J.J. at SMUD for many years. I will always remember his smile, his sunny disposition, and the love for his family, which he mentioned frequently. I remember how proud he was of the nice car he bought for his wife, Lourdes - it makes me smile just to think about it. It was a privilege just to know J.J. May he rest in peace.

Lourdes and family:
My condolences to all of you. Julio and I were very close friends in junior high school and high school. We competed in track, cross country, and the classroom. This competition and friendship pushed each of us to set and achieve worthy goals. It laid the foundation for what we would become in the future. I see he was a beloved father and husband, great co-worker, and had a zest for family and life. I have fond memories of my formative years with Julio, and I am very grateful for my time with him. I know he is at a good place now and forever.

J.J. is one of the finest men that I have met in my life. I enjoyed spending time with him, his smile & enthusiasm for life made any event better. I felt like just being around him helped to make me a better person. J.J.'s love for Lourdes and their family was truly extraordinary. I always enjoyed spending time with him, on hikes, meals, airshow events, or even trips to Harbor Freight.

J.J. was always smiling and a joy to know at work at SMUD. He would always take the time to stop and talk. I missed seeing him after I retired as he was one of the people I remembered most fondly. My sympathies to his family.

Despite your constant steely expression, you were always so sweet to me and funny too! As much as you probably thought I was a crazy kid, you were always there when I needed a ride or a place to crash. You and Lourdes had more of an impact on my life than you know. Thank you for all you did for me. I will do all that I can for your daughter as I've always tried to do.

The thought of not ever seeing you or being with you just breaks our hearts. You were such a special friend to us. You were more than a friend and we had a bond that could not be broken. We cherish the memories of all the times we spent together and of all the vacations, yearly Tahoe weekends and New Year parties. We will miss your smile and laughter and loving and good natured, always willing to help personality. You are "one of a kind" and cannot be replaced. We love, love, love, you...............this much.

So grateful to have known this man, who could just give you a nod or a wave and it would brighten your day. It was truly amazing to see how much he loved his family and seemed to live life to the fullest. He never showed any hesitation in lending a helping hand, words of wisdom or just his presence when it was needed most. He will truly be missed.

You were a wonderful father,husband, grandfather, and second father to all those people how needed one. I found comfort in are conversations. Watching television with you, story's you would tell me and road trips we would take, are all memories I will never forget and will cherish for the rest of my life.I only have one regret I wish I would have came to see you more even last week when I saw a picture of you and told Gina how much I had missed you all. I am glad you are now a angel to watch over us and keep us safe. I will always love and miss you.

Dad,
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm going to make sure you receive a grand farewell, and I promise to watch over your family. Eric and I will do everything we can for Camron, too. You are going to live on through your kids and grandkids, they are more like you than you probably know! We love you and miss you, and don't be mad at me for not getting my brakes fixed yet!
