What can I say I miss u so much. I'm still can't believe ur not here anymore but ur not in pain no more. I remember going to ur house in Wyandanch and u watching TV in ur room and all of us in ur room, or in the kitchen listening to music and just laughing. We had some good fun and even though I was ur niece I still went to the store with u BC I knew how to get there and get home. I luv u tio and u will always be in my heart.

I would first like to thank everyone for all the love and support our family has received when we need it the most. I am lelos first grandchild and he held a special place in my heart. He showed us that the most important thing in life is family. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He was such a kind loving person. Just His presence made every moment a happy one. Some of the best memories I have from my childhood included his crazy jokes his dancing and the love he showed to all of us. When I turned 18 I was so excited... I could finally buy lotto tickets. So I went to the store bought him a pack of cigarettes and some scratch offs, I give them to him and he says where my beer. I could do nothing but laugh.... He enjoyed life to the fullest. Sitting back and watching him play with his great grandkids was something like amazing. They adored him and he adored them. My son couldn't wait to go show Lelo his new dinosaurs and tell him there names and what sounds they made. I know Lelo was tired of fighting and ready to go but my heart isn't ready to let him go. So I will now and forever keep his memories in my heart. I love you Lelo... Make sure you and Ike are on your best behavior....❤

Lelo I love you more then words can explain u are the best man Ive ever known the person that could make me laugh within a second even if I didn't want to laugh I always did because your face with each joke made it all better.  I can't find the right words to explain how I feel or how much I miss youu! But I love with all my heart and I will never forget u and I will continue to share all your jokes

Papi, I know you don't like mushy so I'll try not to be.  I just want to tell you how much you really meant to me and the rest of this family.  I feel like you were taken from us too soon.  We needed you to stay a little while longer.  There was so much we wanted you to be around for.  My selfish side wishes you were still around whether you were in pain or not.  The side of me that loved you madly is grateful that you are no longer hurting.  Our family will never be the same.  I remember when we went to Puerto Rico for the first time and how proud you were to tell your family that I kept your last name when I got married.  I am so glad that I did.  The look on your face meant so much to me. You and Ma are the reasons we all get together whether it's for the holidays, birthdays, or just for the hell of it.  I'll never forget how you tried to teach us all how to play baseball.  Even though we are girls you made us get outside and play.  Yuk!  I used to hate it and then I learned to love it.  You taught me a lot of life lessons that I will never forget and because of you, I am the woman that I am today and the mother that I am today.  I Love you so much and I will miss you for the rest of my life!! See you later Alligator ...... In a while crocodile.
