Para mi bisa-Abuela,

Te amo y te extraño mucho! 

Gracias por amarme como su propio nieto.

To our Angel,

It has been one month since I last held your hand, kissed your face, and felt your warmth.  Although, it still does not feel real, and I have moments when I cannot welcome the fact that I will never see you again, I feel your presence all around me.  Whether it is your nightly visits in my dreams (which I earnestly look forward too!), or hearing about how you kept Silvie awake past her bedtime - you have shown us all that you are still here with us; even if we cannot see you, we can definitely feel you.  From your quirky laugh to your endless charm - Abuela, you were a woman who did not just create an impeccable family, but you also touched many people's lives.  Your beauty and love was witnessed by many, and cherished by all that knew you. 

You never seize to amaze me - even during your last breaths you proved to everyone that you really are a fighter!  You make me want to be just like you - a strong/tough woman, who is intelligent, beautiful in a countless number of ways, puts her family before everything else in life, and who can cook an incredible meal! (I promise - for you - I will work on the cooking part.)

I can never thank you enough for everything you have done... Because of you I am who I am, and who I will be!  Thank you for being such a hard working woman; thank you for raising the most incredible mom a girl could ask for; thank you for always making me laugh; thank you for being so selfless and always giving to others; thank you for loving me; but above all - thank you for showing me how invaluable life and limited moments truly are - with you I will carry infinite memories. 

Abuela, I especially want to thank you for one of the most special persons you left for us all, Abuelo Julio. We all know how "difficult" and "strenuous" these last 55 years of your life must have been with that crazy old man by your side.  Truly, we sympathize; but greatly appreciate you for entrusting him with us!  Every time I see Abuelo now, it is with deeper appreciation, love, and admiration; as I see you when I look at him.  I only wish these beautiful moments I share with Abuelo were also shared with you. You are my angel in heaven and he is my angel on Earth - I owe all the thanks to you for that!

Do not ever hesitate to speak with me, Abuela - I listen to everything you say; always have, always will!  You are so special to me, Abuelita!  Until we meet again, mi viejita loca; remember, te quiero con todo mi corazon.

With an endless amount of love, and an enormous amount of respect,

Meki

Abuela,

One of my biggest fears in life was knowing that, one day, I was going to lose someone I love. I couldn't help but fear the day I would have to live this reality and that you and I would eventually exist in different worlds. I always thought it would be so painful to say good-bye but now I know that learning the live without you is most difficult.  I can't help but wish that I could've heard your voice one last time. Although I wanted to hear you say it again, I know deep down inside you were telling us all just how much you love us. I know this because you never failed to show us love or share just how important we were to you. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes treasure. Abuela, I will always treasure our time together and you will live forever in my heart. You mean the world to me and, as sad as I am to see you go, I'm so grateful to God for blessing me with an amazing Abuela. You have played a bigger role than you may know in molding me into the person I am today. Like you, I am a woman who values family and strives to be a good wife, a loving mother, and someday a proud abuela. I miss you more than words can describe but I have faith that we will see each other again. I love you, forever.

Esto es pa mi bella Abuela, que en paz descanse. Perdiendo te va ser muy difícil para todos por que estabas muy querida. Nunca en mi vida me voy olvida de ti y los bellos recuerdos que tengo contigo. Te voy extrañar mas de lo que tu nunca te imaginaste. Yo siempre te voy a querer en donde tu estés y yo se que siempre me vas a estar vigilando. Te amo mi abuela bella. Un beso muy grande!

Dear Abuela,
This is just so hard to say but I can't believe you're gone. It's so many things, so many words I still want to say to you but I can't anymore. I love you so much to let you go but you know the saying "only know you love her when you let her go." I love you a lot but I don't want to let you go I love you too much. But I just want to look at the positive things, throwback to when I was chilling with you at your house and you would call me over to the kitchen and teach me how to cook. You would show me how to make the batter of pancakes and cook them, next you showed me how to cook eggs, and scrambled eggs. You always had your touch and it made it delicious. I also remember when you took me to go get fried chicken in like I don't even remember where cause it was so far, but we still ate those chickens and ate them with such flavor! I remember when you used to take me with you to publix and we would go in every single isle and get at least one thing, to be honest that's how I started my publix sub addiction!:) then after a while you took me to the subway right next door and I would get the weirdest and grossest sand which in the world, but I enjoyed it at the time. Then the yogurt shop opened next door and we started going there, but it soon closed down and we. Went right back to subway! As the time went by I would go home with you and hangout with you and you would make the best Mac and cheese ever! I would eat the whole dang pot, I'm such a fatty lol. Then I used to bring two of my friends over to your house and they loved you so much! i also remember recently I was there in your house doing funny videos and you would just watch me and laugh, your laugh was so beautiful! everyday I walk into your house and I just think of how I would say, "hi abuela!" and you would respond with "hola chichi como estas?" and we would have a conversation while you were eating your breakfast. Abuela, me and you solo have gone through so many things and I never regret one thing because I did it with love and you did it with love as well. I love you Abuela and now it's going to be so hard without you but it will get better because I know you'll always be there for me, holding me in your arms when I need you and all the time. I love you so much Abuela.

Un Mensaje para mi esposa que esta en el Cielo,

No te olivdes de me, quierro que prepares una vivienda muy bonita con muchas flores en el gardin, para cuando vendré a ti sea nuestro nido, asi poder estar contigo. Siempre voy a pensar en ti 55 anos juntos 4 hijos 9 nietos 3 vis nietos y mucho mas que hemos criado. Fueste muy buena esposa, madre y abuela.
Quidate Mucho
tu esposo

To my beautiful Abuela Nena:  Nothing could've prepared me, nor made me okay with this new reality.  Yet, I find comfort in knowing that your love, strength and kindness lives on in all of us - your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  I am so honored and incredibly grateful to have been raised by you.  Though you never took the credit, you played such a huge role in my life and the person that I am today.  You loved so hard and took so much pride in taking care of us.  In watching you care for us, I understood, at a very young age, what it means to sacrifice for those you love.  And that is exactly what you did...  Lived your entire life for your family.  Always giving to others so selflessly and never expecting anything in return.  You and Abuelo are the foundation from which our family was built, and I will never forget that!  Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for you, and not a day shall go by that I don't continue giving thanks for having been so lucky to have you.  Though you may no longer be with us in body, you will live on forever in our hearts.  I love you my sweet Abuela, and I miss you desperately already.  Keep us safe, keep us comforted, until we need again.  Que en paz descanse mi Abuelita.  Te quiero mucho!!

To My Strength, My Inspiration, My Mom;  

The death of a mother is the hardest to bear for she is the one who is there for us the most... In her life she has shown us all as her loving children a path to follow and now she is resting in God's embrace... 

Words can't explain how much I miss you... You were always a very strong and inspirational woman, how much I've learn from you, mostly your strength and knowing that I have that part of you, keeps me going each and every day...  Not a second goes by that I'm not thinking about you, I love and miss you so much mommy!!! I know you're watching over me with a smile on your face... I will miss you with each breath that I take every waking day until the day you hold me in your loving arms again!!! May the rays of the sun kiss your cheek, and the wings of the butterflies hug you each and every day for me... I guess we never really know what tomorrow will bring, but for now fly high mommy, and rest easy... 

"Roses are most often red, I choose to believe that a rose will bloom no matter the hue... For this rose called "Mom" holds so much power, and it's so beautiful from my view. Even if I were standing in a bed of roses, the only rose I would see is you!!!"  

You will forever remain in my heart, Love you lots your daughter Reggie
