Words can’t describe how much I miss you Grandpa. I remember as a kid growing up it was always a blessing just going over to see you and grandma. The smile on your face was indescribable , Whenever you saw me you’d always say “ My Son” . Those words are encrypted in my memory forever . I’m happy to have heard your voice one last time , Letting you know you’ve got another  Grandson on the way . Another Marroquin is on the way and I’m going to tell him everything about you 🙏🏻To bring him up as a man of god just like you . I just wish you could of held him like you held me.. I will always love you grandpa and you’re grandson will live on remembering you . 
                                                             Love- BM

The most loving member I have is both grandpa Guillermo and grandma Esperanza opening their doors to their home for us to have a nice Family Dinner, Classic car conversation, Evening of park fun,  and best of all Prayer and heavenly teaching. Every second with you was a total blessing grandpa. 

I miss you every day, I’m so happy I heard your voice one last time. I’ve always loved hearing you laugh, and seeing you smile. Hearing you say “hello my darling.” I’m very thankful for you and all the times we spent together. Getting up early to take me to school in the mornings, picking me up in horrible high school traffic, saying goodnight to you and that I love you. I miss your great big hugs. I have many great memories with you that I hold so close to me. I love you always grandpa 💗

Nuestro mas sentido pesame por la partida de nuestro primo Guillermo. Abrazos para toda la familila. Que en paz descanse. Siempre te recordaremos

My deepest condolences to my family who is hurting all the way to our soul.  We lost someone who was a strong,   hardworking, truthful, caring and loving man . He was always willing to help others.  So many great memories I have  from my childhood to my adulthood. I always felt his love for me.  I will always remember his sense of humor, laugh n smile . His words of wisdom he always share with me , including his knowledge of the bible.  Tio Guillermo you will always be in my heart n in my memories.  Until we meet again.  Love you always.  Vero

No es fácil escribir para decirte hasta luego hermano. Ya que soy tu hermana más chiquita tengo recuerdos de hace muchos años. Quisiera compartir uno que siempre que el venía a Guatemala se recordaba especialmente si era Semana Santa. Cuando yo era pequeña estábamos viendo una procesión y me había molestado tanto que le dije que se parecía al hombre que iba en ese paso pegándole a Jesús. Pero esto se volvió chiste para toda la vida. Cuando el se fue a Estados Unidos me prometió llevarme a Disney y me lo cumplió varias veces. Realmente gozamos mucho cuando el venía pues por todo sacaba chiste. Creo firmemente que las Familias son Eternas o sea que nos volveremos a ver.
Te dedico este himno que cantabas muy bonito 
Señor mi Dios al contemplar los cielos, el firmamento y las estrellas mil.
Al oír tu voz en los potentos truenos y el murmurar del claro manantial 
Mi alma canta a mi Señor y Dios
Grande eres tú, Grande eres tu

Abrazos para Esperanza, Iván, Marcela, Sarita y Yoli. 

There’s no words right now  I can express how I feel right now pop . I can tell you right now that I’m really missing you I’m missing everything about you right now  the way we were greeted each other always embrace each other with hug and when I would leave i would hug you and  tell you “Lo quero mucho Papa”.. i’m gonna miss that pop not being able to hold you not being able to talk to you the most important , I will always feel your presence no matter where I go where I I’m  you’re always going to be with me .I thank the Lord everyday for blessing me with a very loving and caring dad showed me the importance of how to be a good man and a good father and good husband.I thank  my dad for The talks we would have I’m going to miss you Pops miss you right now my pain is deep pop but I am praying to our father Lord for strength I can’t wait to see you pop. Dear God, I gratefully thank you for giving me my dad. You must really love me because you gave me the best you had. Watch over him and bless him lord, and keep him in your care. And may he feel my love for him, su unico hijo que Lo quiero muho.....Papa  Ahi mi espera para ver el partido 💙🙏🏻

I will always hold you dear to my heart. What I remember the most is your laugh, smile, and whistle when you were in a great mood. Every time I heard your whistle I would say to myself “that’s my grandpa.” Now when I hear a bird whistle, that will be your way of saying hello to me. Knowing that you are not here on this earth is hard, but I know we have all earned a great angel to watch over us. I will always love you, and always be thinking of you. From G to G <3 


I loved gramps with all my heart. I used to love it when we would all sit at the table and he would tell jokes and everyone would start laughing. It wasn’t home without him. He’ll always be in our hearts and remain in our memories. I don’t have grandmas number but I do wish she knows and accepts he is in better hands. Now that he is with our Lord father God, he will not ever have to suffer for anything anymore. We love you gramps. Forever and Always.

Mi tío Yemo siempre fue parte de mi vida. Recuerdo que venía a Guatemala todos los años con mi tío Ramis y Esperanza y se estaban aquí por lo menos un mes. Me encantaba ir a verlos donde los abuelitos. Tío Yemo siempre nos hacía reír y daba unos abrazos de oso que lo llenaban a uno de energía.
Uno de mis recuerdos favoritos fue cuando con mi mamá y yo fuimos a LA para mis 15. Pasamos tan buenos momentos juntos, nos reímos un montón, paseamos y mi tío muy orgulloso nos paseaba por todos lados. Cuando fuimos a Disney se subió a todos los juegos conmigo y eso nos unió mucho más. Extrañaré sus llamadas "sólo para saludar". 
Lo quiero mucho tío Yemo y lo voy a extrañar muchísimo. Besos al cielo. 

Marcela has shared with me how great of a father and person you were. I’m glad you got to live a strong beautiful life. I send my love and prayers to the family. May you Rest In Peace. 

Abuelito te recordaré siempre. Aunque no vivimos cerca tengo lindos recuerdos. Siempre me acordare como le gustaba el fútbol (soccer)la televisión era de el en ese momento pero me encantaba ver como se entusiasmaba  viéndolo .  Lo quiero mucho abuelito que en paz descanse . 

El 25 de diciembre hablamos para desearnos feliz navidad... Como siempre esa voz tan cariñosa preguntando por mis hijas y mi esposo... Le prometí llegar este año a verlos.. Sin saber que la voluntad de Dios era distinta, en que pronto estaría caminando en calles de oro y viendo el mar de cristal, en que dejarías de sufrir y estar al lado de nuestro Dios.. Tantas anécdotas de cuando venias a Guate, nuestros almuerzos en casa.. Somos humanos y estamos un poco tristes pero sé que ahora estas en un lugar mejor.
Tía Esperanza pidiendo a Dios fortaleza para sobrellevar la ausencia tan grande.. Los quiero mucho. Quisiera estar cerca para ayudar en algo pero mis oraciones están con ustedes... Abrazos Marcela y que Dios les bendiga ❤️

Thank you for being a good grandpa even with the distance you always stayed in touch. I enjoyed all the visits when you used to come to El Paso to see us. As well as the times  when we would visit you. I’ll treasure those moments, but my favorite moment was when my daughter got to meet her great-grandpa. I am so happy that she got to meet you. 
We will miss you grandpa 
Love You
- Yesenia, Terry, & Jasmine 

When I was very little I was extremely shy and didn't like talking but my mom would make us say Hello to everyone at family events. I didnt know who he was(at the time)except for My mom calling him Tio. So, I called him Tio and he said "No, I'm Grandpa." I didnt have any Grandfathers, and He never knew this but that made me feel warm, excepted and loved. He will be missed but he will also be very much remembered. Love Alvarez-Martinez Family❤

Thanks for teaching us respect and manners when walking into a room. You made it a point that all my cousins and I say good morning good afternoon and good evening. We knew if we saw u and we didn’t u would embarrass us in front of everyone.😀 Old school parenting has always been the best. Thanks for always making us laugh. Rest In Peace  Uncle and Salude  a  Dios. 

Lo siento mucho que Dios la Bendiga y les de mucha fuerza a la familia.. soy mariita  de yoli y mario.. mis condolencias 🙏

No doubts my favourite moments with Tío Yemo and Tio Ramiro, are all those Semanas Santa. We knew they were always going to come, and we enjoyed taking all those walks in Antigua taking pictures of the multi colour alfombras.
I remember all those times when my mom received a call of tío Gloria, just to tell her that their brother were coming the same day or the next.
Even if they were cousins we never saw them as such. You are our family, our tíos and primos, and Tío Yemo, you will always be missed. We love you!! Please give the abuelitos and tía Loly a big hugh from all of us. Till we meet again!! 

Guillermo fue muy querido por mi familia, mí esposo, hija y nieta lo recordarán con mucho cariño. Yemo formó parte de mi vida desde siempre era un tío cariñoso, alegre, divertido con quien compartimos muchos hermosos momentos que vivirán en mi corazón. Para Esperanza a quien tengo un gran cariño y a sus hijos envío mi cariño y mis oraciones desde Guatemala.

I didn’t know Guillermo personally but I did have the pleasure of hearing quite a few  pleasant  stories about him through Marcela. My idea of him is that he was a great dad and a great husband. I am so sorry for your loss.. Marcela,  the first man you ever loved. That’s a really tough one and my prayers are with you and your family ❤️❤️❤️ I pray that you and your momma receive comfort and peace 

Siempre lo dije mi hermoso Papa que fuiste mi orgullo. Un amor verdadero. Me facinaba tu voz fuerte y tus bendiciones cuando hablabamos me decias que siempre me tenias en tus oraciones gracias por el regalo de mis tres hermanos Yoly,  Ivan , y Marcela . Te amare siempre y siempre viviras en mis recuerdos . Aunque no tuve el privilegio de que verte todos los dias siempre fuiste parte de mi vida. Nunca me abandonaste. Todos mis acontesimientos estabas con migo . Tu hija ---- Sara Marroquin

Tio Guillermo I will miss your hugs everyone can attest that when you greeted us we felt the love you had for each one of us . I thank you for teaching me that when you walked into someone’s home we had to always “ saludar” I feel that made me the person I am today .  I remember you never said good bye at the end of the phone call so you left me wondering if I should hang up or not 🙂  the memories I have I will cherish them in my heart forever . Until we meet again love you Tio ❤️

I am one of the four people in this world that had the honor to call you father.
I wanna thank you for being my teacher, the person who held my hand and guided me through life, my disciplinarian, my favorite movie and singing buddy, and most importantly for showing me what unconditional love truly is.
My heart was created by you so it will always remain strong.
Your laughter will forever be my favorite classical symphony.
Qué en paz descanse papi con su glorioso Señor. Con todo corazón, su nena Marcela 
Exodus 20:12 
Amén
