Hi Daddy, I wish I knew what to say but you nor I were ever the sensitive type. We may of had our differences during my wild teenage years, but I always respected you for taking care of my mother and raising me, even though I wasn’t your biological child. Mom is REALLY gonna miss you, and I’m sorry for never leaving your bedside in ICU but I didn’t want you to pass alone, even though you probably wanted your rest and privacy. I’m gonna miss you, I have no one to make fun of mom with anymore. I’ve recently realized that my twisted sense of humor was somehow learned from you. I hope you rest in peace, and I can’t describe how much you’ll be missed. I’ll do my best to fill your shoes & take care of mom, but I’m very aware that they are VERY BIG shoes to fill. This sucks! Wish u were still here:

Hey Tio. I want you to know that your going to be miss dearly. I know that we weren’t close but I always asked grandma about you to see how you were doing and you were always on my mind.I hope you know that I came to visit you. I wish you knew how much I love and care about you and it hurts me so much knowing that you’re gone. All I can remember is good things though. Grandma is so lucky to have a brother like you. Not only were you are her brother but you were grandpa’s best friend. Know that you get to see him you guys can have your talks like you used to do everyday in FL. You gave us Cookie and you know she loves you and miss you as well. Everyone does. Rest In Peace Tio. I love you . – Alexis

Brother,

We never told each other “I love you” but in the time we were separated when you were in Cuba we were always in contact. I felt very happy when you came to the United States with me. I know you were angry with me when I moved to Georgia but I want you to know brother that I love you after the day I die and I ask god for you to rest in peace. God bless you, your sister- Nereyda

Mi viejo,

Tu sabes cuanto nos quisimos, fueron treinta anos que compartimos juntos. Y no me queda remordimiento porque minuto a minuto estuve contigo y siempre estaras en mi corazon. Tu partida me ha causado gran dolor, pero espero en Dios que descanses en paz y yo te amare por siempre.
