To My Dear Papi, 

We Love You So Much & Miss You Dearly.  Words Cannot Express The  Grief I'm Feeling The Day We Lost You. I'm Trying To Accept The Fact That Your In A Better Place Now No Longer Suffering Or In Pain. It Gets Harder As Each Day Goes By Knowing The Fact That I Will Never Hear Your Voice Again, No More Stories, But Most Importantly Realizing My Son (Landon) Lost His Best Friend.  No More Late Night Movies Even Though Landon Should Have Been In Bed Early. No More Cook Outs In Your Room & Landon Pretending To Make You Food & Coffee. Those Are Now Memories That I Will Hold Forever In My Heart. I'm Blessed To Have Had Such An Amazing Grandpa. Everything I Am Is All Because Of You. I Will Cherish The Days You Would Pick Me Up From School & Our Picnics In The Park. But Most Importantly I Thank God Every Day For Giving My Son The Opportunity Of Knowing His Great Grandfather Because Of You My Son Knows The Meaning Of Family & The Meaning Of True Love.  You Gave Landon The Best 3 Years Of His Life. And I Will Take Good Care Of Your Little Boy & Continue To Share Stories With Him About You. How Caring, Patient & Loving You Were But Best Of All How Hard You Worked To Give Us The World. Remember I Will Always Love You & Hold You Close To My Heart.  Miss You My Soda Pop. Landon Loves You. 

Pop (Manny), 
You were the heart of the family and you will forever be missed and remembered. 
I will always remember your love for your family (especially your Grandkids). You were always so welcoming and accepted me into the family with ease and care. You were a lot like my Grandma..
You were so happy I married your grandson.
I will always remember your stories and your love of photos. 
Your sense of humor could always make me laugh even after a rough day. 
You were one of the sweetest persons ever. You were an amazing individual. You were the best. 
You hated when any of us argued/fought/bickered, anything like that. 
I particually always loved your smile and the look in your eyes when lots of family members were surrounded around you. 
I love you so very much and I will miss you always, Pop! 


I love you Papi, miss you. We are all very sad. 

To my Papi, 

All my life, I will keep with me memories of us two, and how lucky I have been to have had a Grandpa smile like you. You taught me everything, except how to you live without you. There is a special kind of love that grandchildren have for our grandparents. Its filled with respect for their wisdom and accomplishments... with gratitude for the values they've given us... with delight in the stories of our family that they remember and share. It's a special kind of love that's built on a lifetime of caring and giving. It's the kind of love that's felt for you, Grandpa. 

Thank you for an amazing  adventure filled with so much love and joy. You will forever be in my heart.

I LOVE YOU.....miss you so much already Pop. I can't imagine my world without you in it, our days without visiting you, memories that don't include you from this day forward. You have always been our Pop, keeper of pictures, teller of stories, our strength and the person we all wanted to be our best for. You taught us all so much, loved us all so much, even now you give us the strength to have to say "see you later". I will always need you Pop, I will keep you with me always.....I will think of you and take you with me until I see you and Grandma again.
Thank you will never be enough for the lifetime of love you gave me and my son, our whole Family.  You taught us what the love and meaning of Family is.is. My greatest blessing was to have you in my life. I know you are home, at peace watching over us all. I can only imagine what it will be like, the joy to see you again....Till I see you again Papi, I'll be watching TCM always thinking of you, missing my classic movie partner.
