Apa its 4 years that you been gone. These 4 years have been the hardest years in my life. I went to visit Vanessa in Colorado. Man apa you would've loved it. The scenery was so beautiful. It was so peaceful. Your grand babies are growing up apa. Sierrah is in middle school, Domonik will start middle school, Damian will be in his last year of elementary, Dorian will be in 3rd grade and Arabella will be in TK. They are doing so good. Domonik is in football, Arabella is in basketball. Im still trying to look for sports for the other kids but they are good. I hate that they have to miss you more than they knew you. That breaks my heart. Arabella was only 5 months when you passed but I've showed her pictures of you and videos of you. She loves you so much. Mando has daughter now apa. Shes literally his twin. Jesse is going good to be dad too apa. Can you believe that. Richard is good he's working going to classes. Everyone is doing good. Vanessa got married. Her husband is such a great man apa. You would've loved him. He makes her so happy. This is the happiest I've ever seen her. Just wanted to update you on our lives a little bit. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH OLD MAN. YOU WILL FOREVER BE MY GRUMPY OLD TROLL. 

LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER
NANA ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well, don't worry first off , we are all still close apa. Nana, Jesse,Mando, Momma and me. ( Richard doesn't count lol)we all say that. I moved apa to Colorado.  It's so beautiful out here you would've loved it. Lots of trees apa, so you can open your arms and breathe in the amazing air.  I met an amazing man. He is a very hard worker,  and his priorities right. You and him would've gotten along great. He is great to the family apa, momma loves him. He reminds me of you a smart man with a old soul I say. Your grand babies are getting big apa. Jeremiah will be 17 ,Lizette 16, Joshuah 15 and Marissa 12.  They are such beautiful children.  Nana apa has her own place,  her and Dorian did that shit. It's a beautiful home apa. You would've loved her back yard,  just be aware of the crazy animals she has back there lol. Mando tu charral had a baby. Apa she is beautiful . You would be so happy. Jesse is doing great now. He is a knuckle head but great.  Richard  is Richard lol. He has a beautiful baby girl and she is growing up so beautiful  apa. She looks like her dad except she is beautiful hahaha. Ugh, apa not a day goes by that I don't miss you or think of you.  I love you apa so freaking much.

Happy Father’s Day dad I love you and miss you a lot

You inspired me to be better in life and changed my life thank you pops for guidance, striving for being the best in life miss you everyday.  Rest well you deserve your wings. Jah 

2 years gone and it still feels like it was yesterday ,I miss you a lot cabron. You missed alot but I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be here to see what was happening. It’s been awhile since we last went to see you. Little victor is getting so big and tall learning new things everyday I’m sure he misses you alot the same goes for Francine. We think about you everyday and that because we have another little Muñoz and man does she love Mexican music haha. I know you would have loved her just like you do all your grandkids. Anyways cabron We miss you alot. 

A whole year since you been gone pops and i miss you so much I remember every time i would go to the house you were just so full of energy always had something to say to me to make me laugh always welcomed me into your home with love and accepted me as family i love and miss you everyday pops 

Apa! I miss you so much. I don't know how to make my life, my new reality without you. When you left us you took a huge part of my heart with you.You were my everything the 1st man to ever love unconditionally, and showed me  how a woman should be treated and loved, as I seen the love in your eyes for mom the 40 years you both work together. You looked at mom like there was no tomorrow, you gazed at her like she was the last woman on Earth and was all yours. We miss you down here. I don't know what to do because  I'm trying to stay strong but it's really hard. The one who kept me going when I was breaking was you, especially after our talks that we had every day, night and day. Life is so empty without you. It feels so unreal, like my worse nightmare,   that I had to relive everyday. I thought we had more time with you , even though all the time in the world would have never been enough for us. I miss you so much old man. It hurts to talk about you , it hurts to walk this house and not see you.  There are days I pray that I step outside and I will see you. There are days I forget at times, and end up calling the hospital as usual to check on you, just to hang up and pour my eyes out. I miss you apa, I give anything to hold you, laugh with you, hear your voice, or just to talk bull as usual.  My heart is shattered and no one will ever be able to mend this broken heart of mine, until the day I see you and hold you at the heaven gates. MARIA NEEDS YOU APA!!!!

It still feels like it was yesterday when all this happened I try to be strong not for me but for my family cause I know they miss you too it hurts me that your gone dad I miss you like crazy I just don’t show it and I know I will see you again one day I wish you were here to see everything still. Man apa….. I hate going to the house now I hate driving by there I don’t see you out there I don’t go in your room and to me everything  has changed I wish your were really here I need to talk you I need to see you .we miss you a lot apa lil victor Francine and me all miss you 😢 ❤️We love you ❤️ 

I know it hurt you;
It hurt me too,
But now that you're gone
All I know is I miss you.

You were there for so long.
I never thought you would leave.
I thought you had another year
Waiting up your sleeve.

The day that you left
Was the saddest of my life.
I remember sitting at home
And crying all day and night.

I might be selfish,
But I wish you were here
Or that you stayed
For one more year.

I know you loved me,
And I still love you too,
So I'm trying to be strong
Just for you.

I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'll never be.
I just hope you're up there
And that you're proud of me.

You had to let go
Even though you were holding on for so long,
But there's not a day I don't think of you
And how you were so strong.

I just want to tell you
That you're always in my heart.
Even though I still cry,
I know we're not apart.

Thinking of you, Grandpa 

August 2, 2021 was the kids first day back to school. You would have been happy to see them ready for school. Your babies are growing up so fast apa Arabella has 2 teeth already, she crawls so fast, and she's trying to stand up. You will forever be remembered NEVER forgotten. I will ALWAYS keep your memory alive i will always let my kids know who their grandpa was and how big and important you were to their little lives. I thank God for letting me have you as a dad and keeping you here just a while longer while you were sick. I love you so much apa and I miss you alot I wish I can hug you and talk to you. I miss your voice and I miss being cold and then you holding my hands and your hands were warm. I just miss you. It still seems unreal but I know your in a better place watching all of us especially your babies. You are now their guardian angel and protect them and guide them forever and always.

Apa thank you for loving mom the way you did because it is rare to find a love like yours now-a-days. I appreciated everything you have done for me, mom, my brothers and sister. I remember when i was little i would always go to your room in the night and hug you so tight and tell you GOODNIGHT APA I LOVE YOU SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS and you would tell me too also sleep with the angels and that you loved me. I grew up and stopped going to your room at night i stopped telling you goodnight i knew that it hurt you but i was young and dumb. Im sorry cause mom told me how much it hurt you that i stopped. In my eyes i wasnt a little girl but to you i was ALWAYS your little girl. Apa just know that i didnt stop loving you and i will NEVER stop loving you. You will always be the first man to ever have my heart. You will have my heart forever. Thank you for being there for me dorian and our kids. We had our ups and down but even then you NEVER left me. You are now OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL. I love you always and forever. I miss you my grumpy old troll. Save me a spot next you apa. Cant wait to see you again. Please come to me in my dreams again. Let me know how you are.

Uncle Vincent, you were truly something so special. There was no one like you around, you loved everyone around you and everyone around you loved you too. You had such a big heart. I want you to know that I love you so much, growing up around you, my aunt and my cousins was always an adventure, you took care of us all and made all of us feel very welcomed. Thank you for being the best Uncle, husband, father and friend you could be. Thank you for accepting and loving my husband and kids. Chris has always enjoyed talking you and I know you loved talking to him to. You made him feel welcome and loved instantly. I am forever thankful to have had you in my life and I'm so blessed to have called you my Uncle.

your beautiful niece and family

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; and it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 
I love you Papi and I will always carry you dear to my heart. Thank you for loving me and allowing me to be apart of your family. It brings me tears of joy knowing your spiritual body is in heaven rejoicing with the Lord, because your physical body is no longer in pain.   Love Charlie your Flaca

En este camino que has tomado al más allá, recuerdo que nos conocimos en 1984 cuando empezó nuestra amistad. Fuimos buenos amigos que nuestra amistad llegó hasta ser compadres. Siempre te mantendré vivo con los recuerdos que hemos compartido juntos con nuestras familias. Mantendré en mis oraciones a tu familia para que Dios les de fortaleza para seguir adelante en estos momentos difíciles. Nunca serás olvidado, siempre permanecerás en nuestros corazones. Que tu viaje al mas allá te lleve directo al cielo, compadre!

Apa its has 2 weeks without you here. I know i have to be strong for mom but God apa why did you leave? You were her everything and you were suppose to stay. I know you are no longer suffering. You are no longer in pain, you are FREE. I miss you so freaking much apa  you were the strongest man ever because even in difficult times and near death you fought you fought for us you fought for mom you fought for all your babies. They miss you apa they miss you alot. They love you. We love you. Im so happy that Arabella met you and you had 5 months with her. You always wanted to have Capricorn babies because your a Capricorn and you were the only Capricorn for the longest until I had baby Dorian and it was you 2 until I had Arabella. Im happy that I gave you your two little Capricorns. They are just like you they bug for food and cry for whatever reason and they are so dramatic like you I swear. They are just like their GRANDPA. Its so hard for me to believe your gone and ot feels so wrong for us to continue life without you apa but I promise everywhere we go I will take you with me. You will be there always. I will never let the kids forget you apa. I love you forever and always. I miss you grumpy old troll. I just wish I had one last hug, laugh, talk, kiss, picture, memory with you.

Extrañaré tus pláticas amenas, el volver a verte aunque sea por video llamada, el escucharte decir "mi Mota" 😢 pero sé que te encuentras en un lugar mejor.. gracias por tu interés hacia nosotros, gracias por hacerte presente cuando más te necesitábamos, gracias por tus oraciones, gracias por tu amor y cariño...Que Dios te tenga en su santa gloria 🕊️

I don’t know where to start from but all the memories I have of you for 15 years of having you in my life. I still remember the first time I met you when my Compa Vincent your son invited me over. You didn’t like me right away because I was bad and got in to a lot of trouble but in a way you straighten me out. You gave me a chance and that grew in to a lot of love that I became your feo. I will always treasure these memories with you our first beer together all the laughs and crazy stories you always would tell us. Believe it or not Papi you were bad when you were young you  crazy old man. I miss you so much. You took a part of me with you and I’m really going to miss you Papi we will soon see each other and it kills me that a week after Mia Mia finds out she’s pregnant and it hurts that I can’t tell you it suck you won’t get to meet her or him but I believe that this your blessing to us. Your never leaving our hearts. I love you Papi. Rest In Peace. 

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Living without you is the
Hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was so kind and true 
And when we needed someone 
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we are all together 
But with the love in our hearts
You walk with us forever...

Father-in-law 

I came into your family
Not knowing what I'd find.
I was nervous and afraid.
You gently eased my mind. 

You made me feel right at home
From the first day that we met.
You welcome me with open arms,
And that I won't forget. 

You always have encouraged me
With kind words that you say.
I know I can depend on you 
On any given day. 

You're a great Father-in-law.
You stand out above the rest.
I thank God for blessing me
With you - the very best.

REST IN PARADISE 🙏🏽🕊

R.I.P GRANDPA 

ALWAYS LOVED - NEVER FORGETTEN  

We knew so little that morning, That God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to loss you, You did not go alone. For part of us were with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. 

Where do I start? You have been my grandpa for a whole 13 years and supportive for all. To me you were more than just a babysitter, you were family and made me feel like family. You let me experience something that I would never have experienced without you. In my opinion I know I'm your favorite :) . Before you officially go I need to say goodbye, but not this way. My favorite memory of you is when we were dancing together in your room and I slipped, we were laughing so hard I thought I would die.  I miss those times. When I see you on the 18th it might not make me feel better but at least I know you are no longer hurting. See you soon grandpa...In heaven.

fuistes i serás una persona muy importante en mi vida como no recordarte si eres el tío Chente para mi fuiste como un papá ciempre vivirás en nuestros corazones solo te nos adelantaste por un instante..

Writing this is so emotional there's no words that I can put together to sum up my heartache. I miss you so much apa.  I am trying to stay strong, but my heart feels so broken that it cries by itself, my heart is shattered and no matter what I do  tears keep falling automatically. It's one of the worst heartbreaks I ever had. All I want is to get that phone call from the hospital, to tell me to go pick you up, you're being discharged.  Then I get back to reality and I figure that my nightmare is my reality you are really away from me, you are really gone! I can no longer get your good night hugs, I can no longer get your kisses, I can no longer here your laugh, I could no longer see your smile, I could no longer hear your stories all I have is just  memories, beautiful memories but I want you apa!!
You are one of the greatest persons ever to walk this Earth and I am so happy to call you my father you fought a great battle and I know you are now free of any pain, but now I'm left with my heart shattered,  and a pain deep in my soul and heart, that no words can give sum it up.
I am strong because of you , and I know that you are not near me as I want you to be but I know that you are watching over me , and helping me stay strong and guiding me through this path of life without you physically , But I know you're with me always spiritually.

Necesito verte apa
Necesito abrazarte papa
Necesito oír tu voz
Necesito oír tus historias 
Necesito a mi papá 
Papá tu eras mi fuerza
Tu eres mi todo y mi corazón 
Porqué me dejaste sólita?
Porqué me dejaste con mi corazón  destrozada 
I miss you so much
I love you forever and always.  I can't wait to see you on the other side apa , up in the skies we call heaven. 
I love you. 

Love always your Daughter Vanessa aka  Your Maria

Once I found out that you wear gone I was in tears because I never knew it would hurt this much to lose you. Growing up I use to always visit you and we shared many memories together but the memory I cherish the most is the reason why you started calling me “secretary”. You would always tell me “ Oh look how big and pretty my secretary” and we would always always laugh about it. But the reason why you started calling me “secretary” was when we were at the dealership with Vanessa and I was pretending to be a salesperson and trying to convince you to get a certain car and then you said in Spanish “from now you are my secretary” and we laughed. The reason why I shared this memory out of all the memories we had together is because every time you would call me “secretary” it would remind us both of my cousins your grandchildren and I feel like that’s the reason why we connected so much. The one thing I regret the most is forgetting to give you the bottle of Olive Oil from Palestine and now I hope I can place it in your casket as you lay at rest. 

Love, Your Secretary <3 


Pops was a great man someone who opened not only his heart but his home to me im going to miss all the times I spent at the house hearing pops stories or hearing his laugh one main thing im going to miss about pops is him saying to me “ mi flaca i love you” always a great time seeing pops at the house now its time for God to take care of him i love you pops and im going to miss you 

Tio, you were an amazing man. I'll miss your big beautiful smile, your amazing hugs, the cute little videos bunny would send me. You had such a big heart and you loved each and every single one of us so much. My last visit with you was a very sweet visit.  I stood by you while you watched Hatchi for the first time and how I was ruining the movie and telling you what happens lol. I lost track of time and it honestly felt like I watched the entire movie with you. I'm remembering all of your food requests to tia and the girls. I listened to you talk and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember how your eyes lit up when we gave you a painting my son made for you. Tom, from Tom and Jerry. You told me how much you loved Tom and Jerry.  I'm remembering the last hug I ever got from you. & I just wish I could've hugged you a little longer. My babies were waiting in line for a hug and so was my husband. Another memory is when I got you chocolates and a bear, you had the biggest smile and kept hugging your bear. You told me all about how you had been wanting a bear and it made me so happy. I'll miss your kind words and the love and joy you brought into our lives. Missing you so much tio. Thank you for all the great memories. Missing you

Papi always greeted me with a hug, smile and kiss on the cheek. Even though he spoke to me mostly in Spanish, I always felt the love he shared openly and freely. Papi was an honorable man that took pride in his family and I'm so very honored that my family was welcomed into his family. Your laughter and presence will live on forever in our hearts. 

Apa I miss you more than anything. If I could give you anything to come back I would. I miss hearing your voice I miss your hugs I miss your laugh I just miss you so much. Thank you for loving mom for all your life thank you for showing me that true love exists. Your the best grandpa my kids ever had. You loved them unconditionally and I know at times they gave you a headache but hey you gave me a headache too. I miss your crazy stories about your life. Who would have thought that your crazy crazy stories would be missed so much. Te amo apa.  Te extraño tanto. Te amo por siempre y para siempre. Siempre seré tu pequeña niña y tú siempre serás mi Superman.

 I love you forever and always 
    Your daughter Nana 

I still can’t believe your gone dad. I still remember the phone call at 7:23am  to hear that you might be gone it plays in my head over and over again I love you so much and miss you I wish you were here but I know your pain and suffering is long gone now but mines is just beginning,I remember the last time I saw you Friday evening going over to see how you were, little Victor Francine and I will be outside talking to you. You were always outside sitting on your chair and  it sucks cause I can’t drive by there to see you outside or see you falling asleep outside it’s not the same I go over and go straight to your room and i know your not there I’m in pain I’m suffering because I know I lost my dad your the strongest person I will ever know you been though so much and I appreciate everything  you taught me and showed me in life and I will always love you
I love you and miss you very much!
Until we meet again dad ❤️ Your son Victor Muñoz (pito loco)
