I need you daddy 😞 I miss and love you so much

I miss you so much daddy .. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years today since you’ve been gone 😔 Save a spot for me .. I Love you ❤️ 

Pops, not a single second passes without ever still wishing you were here with us.. some things are different but yet again, a lot is still the same. 2 years now and it's still a cloudy blur. But were still carrying the torch for you and always keeping your name, your confidence and all else you did to raise us boys into strong, confident and powerful men, always raising the bar to a higher level..
I love you pops and nothing can or will ever change that..missing you always. From the heart, MR. Big Gilbert G. Mendez

WORDS CAN NEVER EXPLAIN THE SORROW I ENDURE FROM STILL TRYING TO ACCEPT WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED SINCE YOUR LAST BREATH. LOSING THE MOST INSPIRING MAN ACHES MY HEART EVERY DAY. BUT NOONE WILL EVER COMPARE TO EVEN REPLICATE YOUR STRENGTH AND WILL TO CONQUER EACH AND EVERY DAY, AS IF NOTHING STOOD IN YOUR WAY. THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BUT AS EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY FULFILLS ITSELF, I WILL SURPASS EACH DAY WITH FAITH KNOWING THAT I WILL  BE UP THERE WITH YOU ONE DAY. I LOVE YOU POPS....

AS IT ALL SEEMS TO CONFUSE NEARLY ALL OF US COLLECTIVELY, THESE THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES WILL ENDLESSLY STAMP THE TRUE AND REAL DEFINITION OF THE HONOR YOU FEARLESSLY STRUGGLED TO BUILD, MAINTAIN AND SACRIFICE WITH, ALWAYS INSTILLING THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT TAKES TO ADAMENTLY STAND UP AND FIGHT, WITH NOTHING BUT COURAGE AND PRIDE. YOULL BE FOREVER MISSED....I LOVE YOU POPS..



I LOVE YOU POPS..THE SUN WILL RISE AND THE GARDEN WILL GROW,,AND THE MENDEZ PROPHESY WILL FOREVER CONTINUE..

NOT A DAY GOES BY WITHOUT LIVING THE TRUE AND ACHING REALITY KNOWING YOU TOOK THE WALK AHEAD OF US AND STILL CONTINUE TO SHINE THROUGH IN OUR HEARTS..EVERY DAY IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOU..I LOVE YOU POPS..



SOME THINGS JUST SEEM TOO UNREAL  AS EVERY SECOND, MINUTE AND DAY GOES BY WITHOUT EVER HAVING JUST THAT ONE MOMENT TO SHARE WITH YOU AGAIN..MY TINY STRUGGLES WILL NEVER COMPARE TO ALL YOUVE BEEN THROUGH. YOU WERE MORE THAN JUST MY POPS..A BORN LEADER, A FIGHTING WARRIOR AND VERY INSPIRING MAN WHO ALWAYS TAUGHT ME THE BEST I NEEDED TO KNOW, BUILDING ME TO THE MAN I AM TODAY..I WILL ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU POPS..NOONE WILL EVER TARNISH THAT..I LOVE YOU POPS..GOOD NIGHT!

"AINT NO MAN ALIVE TO EVER WITNESS STRUGGLES I SURVIVE..." MY POPS TOOK THE STRUGGLE TO THE VERY LAST SECOND, FIGHTING AND LIVING EVERY DAY WITH STRENGTH AND COURAGE, NEVER HINTING ON GIVING UP..I LOVE YOU POPS AND ALTHOUGH YOU LAY TO REST, YOU WILL LIVE THROUGH ALL I DO, ALL I ACCOMPLISH AND EVERYTHING ELSE I PROMISED TO DO FOR YOU..GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN...R.I.P. POPS....

My deepest condolences to Molly, Family and Friends....
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far Greater than we know.
For some the journey quicker,
For some the journey slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

Rest in Peace dear Lupe (lifelong family friend and Godfather to the late Humphrey Jr.)
