Dear Dad, It is my hope that the many days I spent with you brought you peace, there is nothing that I would not have done for you. It broke my heart to see you go, to feel the last beat of your heart and see your last breath, there are no words that truly  explain, the sadness of seeing you in pain, the pain seeing you hurt,scared, lost in your mind, your modesty stolen from you, and the appreciation that you expressed for every little thing that was done for you.  Your constant quedate mija, no te me pongas mala. I truly feel lost and I miss you so much, you struggled for so long, such a hardworking man, you even worked hard to die, I miss you Dad, my heart breaks often, that you would work so hard and not enjoy your Golden years, so many times you said, if these are the Golden years, I don't want any part of them. I so wish you had joy before the end of your life, that makes missing you even more difficult. Forever loving and missing you.Your Daughter

To the family - thank you for sharing all the wonderful photos and and his History!  I am a grown woman but fondly remember being 4 yrs old and having him pull up to our house with all his good bread!   Any time there was a funeral in our family he was always very generous when sending bread and canelita.  He new all of us kids and who our parents and grandparents were -  He will be greatly missed! May you find peace knowing that he is at peace!

You will always hold a special place in my heart and you will never be forgotten.  Thanks for everything you taught me growing up. Love Always,

Ricardo and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Father.  Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wonderful man - he gave me more then maybe he even knew.  His history of of working so hard was amazing always struggling to raise his family never complained. TRULY A INSPIRATION TO ALL THAT KNEW HIM.

He was my father-in-law but in my eyes at such a young age was a Dad that I never had in those days to look up to and learn.
He will always be in my heart full of memories, I love him for all his kindness in accepting me in his family, he will be missed so much by many.   His service was grand a great send off to heaven, Always my love Michele Gray-Gallagher

Ricardo was obvious a man who thought of others before he thought of himself.  He raised a amazing family.  My prayers are with you all.  God Bless!!
