I LOVE YOU papa and you will forever be missed all i ask is that you watch over me, keep me blessed, and that you rest in paradise 
Sincerely,
The 3rd

I will always remember him the way he was when I first met him. He looked so serious, but turned out to be one of  the sweetest and loving guys I've ever met. He had an incredible laugh and a  wide smile that was contagious. Tata, you and I were friends before we were family.  I remember hanging out with you when you guys lived on Broadway and your dad was always so nice and hospitable. Then when we became in laws  he was always the life of the party, loved to sing and dance.  That's how I chose to remember him. So sorry for your loss,love you. Will keep you all in my prayers. My  condolences to Luisito and your sister as well. 

To my dearest grandad,

I hope you are in a much better place. Even though my memories of you are minimum, I cherish them with my all my heart. To my mom and titi Tata, my warmest hugs. 

I love you abuelo. 



Mis condolencias para la familia. Y que el Dios de todo consuelo le de paz en estos momentos difíciles. (2 Corintios 1:3,4)
