So many memories,
So much laughter,
So many tears,
And here we are saying goodbye, 
Until we see each other once again.

Dearest Cousins Joel and Abel --- Scott and I were so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother, Richard; First Markie, and now Richard. I can only imagine the wonderful reunion taking place between your brothers and your parents at this time. May God give you strength and bring you peace at this time of sadness. Remember always, your cousins love you. Sharon, Scott, and family

Dear Joel, 
So sorry to hear of cousin Richard's passing.  Thank you for the family pictures.  He was so handsome in his uniform.  May the Lord bless you and keep you during this time.  Please keep in touch.  
Regards, Gail Pendergraft

Hi Joel:  I was really sorry to hear of Richard's passing.  I wanted to extend my condolences to you and Abel as it is really challenging to lose a sibling.  I will remember him in my prayers and both of you also.  Take care of yourself and in your search for the meaning of life ... I wish you peace.  Please stay in touch with us.  Un Abrazo, Rachel

Wow, Richard what a blow when Roxie called to tell me you had passed.  I do not have memories of us as adults but I do have many when we were kids.   You , Roxie and myself always getting into something.  We were always laughing and doing crazy things.  Like at Farrel's at Eastridge, Roxie's fault, smoking for the first time with you and Roxie, again Roxie's fault, getting baptized at the Baptist church on Senter and Captiol.  The pastor said who would like to get baptized and Roxie told us lets go get baptized.  So we did.  

So many memories of us three.  You will be missed cousin.  Too bad I didn't get to see you before you left.

Joel and Abel,  I am very sorry that Richard is gone and sorry for the way you had to hear it.   I know know how it
feels to lose a brother.
God Bless you both, your cousin Arlene Campos

Joel, I'm so sorry for your loss. Richard left us way too soon, but our memories of him will last forever.  He was such a genius.  I remember when he decided to take piano lessons, and in just a few weeks he mastered it. When we'd come over for dinner he would delight us with his own beautiful renditions!  May he rest in peace.

My Dearest Uncle,

You will always have a special place in my heart and I will miss you dearly. I will always treasure all the great times we had and will be forever grateful for your friendship and support. It's so tragic I had to find your obituary online and you did not have any family there for you. I wish we all could have done more for you. You were a supportive son and a great uncle. Thank you for your service to our country and for being you.

Love Always,

Elena

Joel, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how helpless it feels to lose a younger sibling when you have been a part of their entire life. You and your family are in my prayers. God bless.

My Dear Cousin:
I will always have the wonderful memories of being children together. Growing up in a huge extended family, having meals at Grandma's. Her tortillas and mole were amazing! Meals at your Mom and Dad's were incredible because your Mom was such a great cook!! Remembering the family restaurant in Seattle and on 13th St. What an adventure. 

After Grandma was gone and you moved to Texas, we lost touch. As adults with independent lives, family does loose touch. We often go our separate ways. Many times our life journeys are difficult, unexpected and forever challenging. Life has many rocky roads.
 
Know that your family will always remember you. We had wonderful times together. Yes, we drifted apart, as happens in life but the bond, the family bond will always remain in this life and afterwards.

Love you dear cousin and yes, rest in peace.

Martha, Gary, Mario and Gaby in San Francisco

I can't believe you're gone cousin n that you left with no one knowing. I miss our conversations like the last time you called when I got to church & we talked all through Sunday school, it was so worth missing class that day. Then to find out this way is so heart breaking. Wish I could've been there. To Joel n Abel I'm so sorry your brother's gone. Love you guys.

I will forever remember the fond memories of you farewell cousin til we meet again in our fathers house!

Richard; If only I could of told you, That I loved you and I cared about you, but now it is too late. I have nothing but regret for not keeping in contact with you. But I will always remember our times together, from little kids to old men, the laughs the good times and most of all your company. We will meet again one day. your cousin Alex Esparza and friend Michael Barrett of San Jose CA  .

To my dear brother, may you rest forever with our lord - good bye, from your older brother.

God bless you Richard Esparza and may you rest in peace.

I feel so badly for someone homeless that served our country to have no one to say they are his family.  He is at peace now and no longer suffering on this earth...

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time. 

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.

His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.
