 I miss u so much it’s been very tough without u here dad and I think about u every day for 3 years trying to hide the pain but it’s hard we all miss u dad u will always be in our hearts…Chicho ortiz 

Sitting here thinking of you and can’t believe that your 3 year anniversary is so near. I don’t know how so much time has managed to slip through our hands but man do I miss you!! I hope your in heaven watching down on all of your babies as we all miss you more then you know, you truly are and always have been the light that keeps me going. I love you and miss you so much pa Como te extraño vuela alto 🥺🥺😘😘😘😘😘

Pa, there’s not a single day that goes by that I don’t think of  your beautiful face. I'd do anything to have you here again or even see you just one last time. Too hug  you so tight, and NEVER let go! It makes me happy to know that at least you always knew how much I loved you and that you meant everything to me and I mean everything. I’m so grateful to have always had a good/strong relationship with you but I’m even more grateful that this last year of your life we became more closer then ever, I’m so grateful that YOU were able to feel baby Gracie move in my belly I remember like it was yesterday your face when you felt her little legs kick your hand it brought so much joy to you even hours after feeling her you couldn’t stop talking about the way that it made you feel💜 It makes me sad to think that your gone cause you were my person, and I feel so lost without my person. I still have to tell myself that your still just at work to make myself feel a little better cause I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that your really gone.  Luckily baby Gracie keeps me very busy to keep my mind distracted but not enough to not think about you. I love you always I miss you always and I hope your watching over us from up there because I’m starting to believe that you were the most strongest angel on this planet that Gracie needed to watch over her and that’s why your no longer here.  I love you always fly high my beautiful beautiful beautiful Angel💜 

Babe you taught me how to do so many things in life too much to name but the one thing you forgot to show me is how to go on without you after 28 years of loving you and 5 beautiful children you made me the happiest woman alive and I am truly honored and blessed that you chose me to be your wife babe you were my best friend my husband my protector my encourager my love my heart my soul you were my everything since day one you always worked so hard to make sure that me and the kids were never in need or without the things we needed and even gave us what we wanted hands down the best provider ever and when it seemed like there was no way you always made a way I’m so sorry you went through what you did but I’m thankful that when God said He would never leave us nor forsake us He meant it babe He sent someone to be by your side to comfort you and to pray for you and for that I am forever grateful and I thank God for knowing exactly what I needed and that is why He sent me you honey I love you forever all the way to heaven and back you will always be my strong man of Valor that was chosen by God now go and prepare a room for me until we meet again forever your wife and best friend Marina❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🕊❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Blessings! I didn’t have the close relationship with bro manny other than his beautiful family.  My sister Marina marriage was restored  , I was sooo blessed. Not realizing that their testimony alone ,I was gonna hold on to for my marriage when I wanted to quit. God would remind me of bro manny and his wife  restoration. so I held on  untill I seen it pass. Thank u sis marina and bro manny for allowing the Lord to use a once broken marriage to a powerful strong marriage in the kingdom of God!!! You bro manny gave my marriage hope u were part of it ! I have shared your story many times  in our church  and it gave people hope in their marriage .We celebrate your life and honor you, we will miss your joy here on earth  but your legacy will live through your children and your kingdom family God bless from canedos family 

Hombre de valor ❤️ 
Rest in paradise manny 
You are truly missed 

Tío,  cómo usted siempre decía, whats cracking?! ❤️ Dichosos, dichosos los que lo conocieron. Y dichosa yo por tenerlo como mi Tío. Usted fue la luz de nuestra familia. Nos consentía a todos con su amor y siempre nos regalaba risas. Esta vida nunca será igual sin usted. No me puedo imaginar un día festivo sin su risa, sin verlo zapatear en medio de la pista, sin poder abrazarlo o escuchar un “cómo está, mija.” Aunque nos vea llorar por su ausencia, yo quiero que usted vuele lo más alto que pueda. Cuide de nosotros. Usted siempre será nuestra luz. Estoy segura que el cielo a estado de fiesta desde que llego. Puras risas. Pura alegría. Hasta pronto, Tío. Un fuerte abrazo. 🕊

I cant even start to say what a great man we have lost .. To me he wasnt blood family but he was my brother in Christ and to me a great mentor and friend ... He was my paisano from Zacatecas we always used to talk about Zacatecas at work ... This image is what he was he always made us food and loved to chill at work and make our days fun at work ... Working with maño was always a great time ... And now i know he is up there cooking and dancing for the Lord and his Angels hasta pronto Maño we miss you R.I.P.  Meño 

My brotha! Such a blessing and Man if God. Always willing to serve and give of himself! Hes so full of smiles and passion and was a true pillar in his family and even the house of God!  We served along side each other for several years! Though we had language barrier we were still able to communicate and have relationship. I’ve always wanted to have an English Spanish bible study with him but never got around to it because he had such a busy schedule. This man knew how to work! Working a full time job, working in his business l, being a father and serving as an usher. True example of a man and man of God!! 

Best compadre ever! Forever in our hearts and Never Forgotten! You were always filled with so much joy. Your joyful spirit and smile was so contagious. You showed us so much and taught us to live life happy and that “Isssss  okaaayyy”. To go through things but to live life at its best and just be happy! You are one of a kind Compa! Again you are forever in our hearts! 

Manuel was such an awsome brother in law i was honored to have known him 27 years theres so much memories id be here for days to sum it up he was there thru it all thru the good times great times thru  the struggles the pain he pulled us thru it he was an awsome father husband wow a man i truly looked up to he never judged he only knew how to love wow i just thank God for his life and for choosing our family to be apart of ill always remember u cuñado ull forever live in our hearts ill say hi to my momma untill we meet again rest in paradise!
