I will never forget the day I fell in front of you I came in running down the hall to tell Maria something and I slid and ended up half inside your room laughing. You just peeked your head and shook it chuckling at me. I could only imagine what you were thinking. ❤ I even promised Maria that I would pinch your cheeks and run one day but with how clumsy I am I knew I would not get very far... I will miss you so much Don Benancio. May you fly high in heaven and watch over us. We love you ❤

So many memories  it's hard  to narrow it down.  I'll always remember you taking me, Ben, and Richard to the movies(uptown) and sitting there all day. Or when we would go to his house walking in cuz the door was always open.  Then hearing him yell at us "dang did yall smell the food". I was there almost  everyday  of my childhood  that was our 2nd home. You tired to fill the void my dad left when he passed. I appreciate and Love u! You're gonna be missed by everyone who was lucky  enough  to know you and the awesome person you were.  

I will always remember our last convo, when I was waiting for Asusena to come pick me up from Tia Susys cause I wanted to go get something to eat.  I called you and and you picked up and I asked you what you wanted to eat, you replied “Whataburger.”
Then you asked me, are you gonna buy it for me?
I replied of course I’m gonna buy it for you.  Then a few days before that I’ll never forget the incident with the dogs…When you came out to get the plate of enchiladas I brought to you, Asusena’s huskies got out the front door along with you, when you opened it. I had Rhino with me too is why I didn’t come to the door. I wasn’t sure how he was gonna react with the huskies. Oh boy here I was chasing them around the front yard trying to get them back inside while you held Rhino back with his leash. A day I’ll never forget. I’ll miss you big brother.
Rest easy and thank you once again for serving our country and all your sacrifices.  
Now it’s time to rest.

The 1 typing is Cece for Victoria I asked her the other day why she was sad playing with her toys alone n her room.. n her response was.... 

((❤ I miss grandpa hes my friend he gave me candy.. ❤))

And I remember EVERYDAY she walked out ur room with candy.  I kept ur Big jar of candy.. n I give her 1 n tell her grandpa came n my dreams n said to give u a candy..

I will always remember how my dad (grandfather) and I would go to the movies almost every weekend when a new movie came out, he'd ask me if I wanted to go and me being a kid I was excited to go. So he would ask me to get the newspaper so we could check the times when the movie was available.

You will forever be my OG “ saggy pants”

My family will always love you  and miss you thanks for our memories.

I have two most memorable images of my padrino that come to mind. 
After my dad passed away he would always come to visit us and one day I smelled my dad scent on him  which made me cry my butt off. He was so confuse and he didn’t know what to do to cheer me up I just looked at him and smiled to let him know I was okay. 
My second favorite is when I would pick him up in my black lifted truck. Seeing him struggling to get in every time always made me laugh. It got to the point where I would always park near the curb so he could have a jumpstart. Mayte and I always tease him about being an old man. He would always make his famous noise “bah” and his “get out of here” hand motion after we had our laugh. 
I will always remember you Padrino.
 Thanks for making me laugh, for giving  me my name and loving me to the end.
I love you 
May you Rest In Peace
