Dear little brother- 

It's hard to imagine life without you but at the same time I imagine your new life and how happy you are with Mom and Dad. I cherish the times we spent together and all the memories we have together.  your work here is done little brother as you bless so many people's lives. It's evident that you are loved by so many people. For the past few days we've heard nothing but stories of you and it just warms my heart to know that you were happy and you were loved by everybody.  I love you & I'm going to miss you little brother. Spread your wings and go fly. I'll see you soon. XOXO your sister Pat ❤️🙏

There once was boy who was born into a big Hispanic family. This little boy had cerebral palsy and the doctors told his family that he wouldn’t live passed the age of 1; then the doctors told the family he wouldn’t live pass the age of 5, then 10 and then after 20 years of age, the doctors stopped their predications. This man was my Uncle Hondo, aka Alex Escamilla, aka Tio.

My Uncle had the best sense of humor despite his challenges his laugh and his smile were contagious. If I ever saw him looking sad, all I had to do was smile then his smile would appear then his laughs would follow then you would end up laughing and you wouldn’t even need a reason to laugh. I think that’s what I’m going to miss - his smile.

In the end, my Uncle taught me a lot of things. He showed me how to overcome challenges, how to make the most out of an average day, when to be silent, when to speak up, not to be afraid of a hug from a guy in a wheelchair and to smile, genuinely smile. When his smile turned into a smirk well then you had to play 20 questions to figure out his smirk. Thank you, Tio, Uncle Hondo, Alex Escamilla for making our world a better place and for bringing laughter and joy countless times to our lives. You will be forever missed but you will live in our smile. Love you lots and RIP in Tio.

Dear Alex,
       As I sit here with tears of sadness, I'm still in disbelief that you are gone. I have one regret, that I never made it back to see you. I will cherish every memory we had made at TLC. We had became so close Alex, not just as CNA and patient but as friends. I could always talk to you about my petty problems and you would listen. And you could always come to me when you needed something or when someone would make you mad or upset and then soon as you knew it, we would be laughing our butts off. And that smile, that smile could light up a dark room. I'm sorry and hope you forgive me for not coming to see you more often. You will forever be in my heart. Love you Alex, Always and Forever!!!!!!

It always made my whole month for me to see Alex every time I went to sing at the nursing home. RIP my friend. I’ll miss your wonderful smile.

Uncle Hondo I will miss you so much. I'm sorry we didn't get to see each other as much as we would have liked to. But I'm thankful that growing up we were close. I've been sitting here thinking of all the memories I have of us growing up at Wellas house. You were very special to so many people and its evident you impacted our lives. I'm glad you found your rest and peace in Gods arms. Wait for us, soon we will all be together and you can greet us at the gates of Heaven and show us around! I love you!

Dear Hondo- I can sit here and actually say I was blessed with the best opportunity in my entire life which was helping take care of you. I'm blessed beyond words to have the time I had with you and the memories I have with you. I'm happy you chose me to check off your bucket list with you 😊.  Those are memories I will cherish forever .  Thank you for always loving me and my children unconditionally. I love you and I miss you so much.  Tell Wella, Popo, Linda and Chris I love them.
