To my Tia Juliet, Tio Manuel, cousin Carmen,  Gloria & Elena. My memories of my Cousin Mave are nothing but good ones. His great smile and how he giggled when he talked. So handsome he was. Heaven has another Angel. Mave, I'm sorry I can't be there today but thank you for being my big brother in high-school, sticking up for me, and giving me rides to Bishop Amat! I remember your favorite song was Celebration from Mondana. So today we celebrate your life Mave. See you again in Heaven Cousin Mave...

Tio, Tia and cousins, 
Mave left us too suddenly but is at peace now. Take this time to remember all the great moments you were able to have with him. This will bring you comfort. This will keep him alive forever. 
Mave was always smiling and that's how I remember him. 
With love Brian and Elizabeth and family

May God bless you Juliet, Manuel, Carmen, Andy, Gloria, Robert, Elena, David and Kids in this time of so much sorrow.  I will always remember little Manuel's smile as a child.  A smile that was never lost as an adult.  He has claimed his wings and  is now at peace watching over us.

Mijo, little Manuel, you will always live in my heart. Love from your Tia

To my cousins and Tio and Tia, I know that with your faith and everyone's prayers that you all will find peace now knowing that Little Mave is in peace too.  We will never forget his smile and laughter and the way he always answered questions with a giggle. He will always be my little cousin and I will always think of him that way.

We will remember Manuel as a beautiful little boy and as a handsome, sweet and kind young man, always with a great smile. Now that he is free and at peace, he has become that wonderful person again. Rest with the Angels in Heaven. You will always be missed, but we know one day we will see you again. With love, Aunt Rose and Uncle Dennis

I know that Mave is smiling in heaven and will look out for all of us.  I will always remember his smiling face and his laugh.  All your family misses you so much. You will always live in our hearts and memories.

I know I have seen you all in person since this tragedy, but again, we wanted to send our heartfelt condolences. I will always remember Manuel full of life, with that amazing smile and that little laugh. He had such a great time at our wedding, and I am so happy to remember him like that. Manuel, Juliet, Carmen, Andy, Gloria, Robert, Elena, David and all the kids... We are so sorry and you are in our prayers. Heaven has another angel to watch over us. Xo

My heart goes out to my aunt, uncle, and cousins as they grieve the loss of my cousin Manuel. You will all be in my prayers with fond thoughts. I will always remember Manuel's quirky sense of humor and laugh.  God Bless

Cousin...it is hard to know you are no longer with us physically. I know in my heart that your spirit is alive and that you will dwell within our family always. May God be with you. Rest in peace, Manuel.

My condolences to the Rodriguez family.

Life on Whitney Drive was "small town", where everyone knew everyone.  Though I was shy and didn't say much, I still have fond memories of all the kids in the neighborhood getting together to play hide and seek.  Though I didn't know Manuel personally, I do remember the Rodriguez family well.  My heart breaks over the loss of your son, your brother, your uncle.

Life was so simple when we were young.  As we all grow and mature there are so many aspects in our lives that change us, that create us to be different than our loved ones.  Manuel, you will definately be miss by all who loved you.  May God be with you now.

I can't help but remember the days of growing up with Manuel and his sisters.  Such a polite and friendly guy who was still a little shy too.  I'm sorry that he has left us at such a young age but I know he is in good hands now.

Manuel, I miss you so much.  You will always be in my heart and I look forward to the day I see you again.  Your wonderful smile lit up your face and the room.  That's what I will miss most.  Love you.  Your big sister, Carmen
