IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN YOU PASSED AWAY.  I MISS EVERYDAY AND EVERYDAY I WISH I COULD SEE YOU AGAIN .  I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN THE RESTING PLACE WITH GOD.

Just wanted to stop by and say that I love you and miss you grandpa. I have your picture on my classroom wall so I can see you everyday. Love, Delores

Hey Grandpa, check this out! In honor and in loving memory of you, I'm doing our family tree and I am uncovering many wonderful things! I found out who your aunts and uncles were from your father. And I have found out about your mother, grandparents, great grandparents and so on! It's like I'm discovering you all over again. With each click of the mouse, I'm finding out something new. I love it! And I love you! I miss you grandpa!

I WENT TO VISIT YOU TODAY DADDY.  YOUR RESTING PLACE IS SO SAD TO SEE BUT I WANTED TO BE THERE WITH YOU.  YOU ARE IN HEAVEN AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY.  LOVE YOU DADDY

Good morning Grandpa! I love you and I miss you! Please watch over us. You are our guardian angel and our bright, shining star in the night sky. 

Love, your granddaughter, Delores

Elma, although I didn't know your dad, I'm sure he was very special to you and your family. I know one day you will see him again and you both will rejoice! My deepest sympathy, my friend. Josie Perez, Corpus Christi, Texas
