Grandpa!!! I made rice yesterday and this popped up on my phone this morning, gosh my heart is heavy this morning. You are loved and missed dearly. Josephine even asked me yesterday if you used to make rice for the parties and go to family dinner. I never thanked you but thanks for that last conversation, family is the most important thing. Your legacy lives. Love you so much! "Yahanna"

I love you Papi...

Dad, always miss you, love you, think about you. You are alive in our stories with my children around the dinner table. You are alive when I look into the mirror I see you. You are always in our hearts were it counts the most. I love you forever.

Hi Compadre Just want you to know I am thinking of you today, Rest in peace with the rest of our family. Love always.
Linda

Compadre I was thinking of you recently when I wanted some home made chicken soup. You made the best one ever. I love and miss you always. RIP

Compadre I think of you often and know that you are doing ok with my sister by your side. Love and miss you and her always.
Love Linda

Dad, I still cannot believe its been 6 years today. I love you, I miss you and I'm always thinking of you and remembering only the good.

I love you forever and then some.

Dad, I often wonder where you are, how your soul is, do you play guitar where you are? Do you sing? Cook? Dance? You did all those things here on Earth so well and I believed you were very talented and creative in so many ways. Moo was creative too but differently than you. I am not sure many people in our family would see you as creative but you were so creative. Your singing in my opinion was amazing, strong and meaningful, as well those times you played your guitar you made me feel like I was in the presence of a star. I was more amazed when you told me you taught yourself how to play! The longer I live, I see you differently its as if all my good childhood memories now are coming more to life in my heart and mind. It is very special to me that I have always looked more like you as many family members have said I have some of your ways too. Moo used to say I was like you in that I needed people to respect me more than like me. That is a wonderful gift you gave to me which has enriched my life and keeps the bad people out of my life. I love you Dad, I do so much. I hope you are dancing, singing, peaceful, joyous and playing that guitar where ever you may be....I hope your soul is rested, your physical body beautiful, your creative spirit alive! I love you Dad, you are me and I am you. xxxxooooo

Dad - missing you, thinking of your smile.

Hey Compa Five years already. Still Loved and missed very much. Love to you and all the family up there. Rip


Love Linda

Father

I wish I were young

I wish I was young not so much in the conventional way
or perhaps I do...
I wish I were young today so I could see you.


One more day to feel your hand carrying mine,
One more day to see the pride for your family in your eyes.

Your silly jokes and silly ways I wish I could hear the sound of your voice near me and not so far away.

I'm told I will see you again, when it's time - time for my end.

Until then and mostly today I wish, I wish I were young, so as I thought then I'd have you to stay.

Love you Dad, I pray for you, I miss your voice on this earth. Nothing is the same since you left. I wish every ounce of peace, healing and freedom to your spirit. In my heart forever, Lisa

Dad,

Happy Easter in heaven, I hope your spirit is free, your soul healed and feet dance and your hands play guitar today. I love you always and always and always....

Love,
Lisa

Compadre still Love and Miss you very much. RIP
Love Always Your Commadre Linda

Father -

I wish I were young

I wish I was young not so much in the conventional way
or perhaps I do...
I wish I were young today so I could see you.


One more day to feel your hand carrying mine,
One more day to see the pride for your family in your eyes.

Your silly jokes and silly ways I wish I could hear the sound of your voice near me and not so far away.
And....
Just once again I'd hear you say, "Do you want to be strong, strong like me; maybe some day"


I'm told I will see you again, when it's time - time for my end.

Until then and mostly today I wish, I wish I were young, so as I thought then I'd have you to stay.

Dad,

I miss you and I love you and it's still hard to think of you gone from this world. I know you are near me protecting me somehow you are near.

Miss you terribly...

Hello Pa, I love you forever and ever....

Feliz cumpleanos!!!

Dad, I love you so much. I think of you doing so many funny things and saying so many funny things. You always made my life interesting and your ways of saying things somehow I could always understand.
Love You Mucho....

Dad,

It seems as if it will always be unreal that you are gone, so I take that a sign you are still with us, always. I love you so so much. I pray you are happy in heaven dancing, eating your favorite foods, and playing your guitar, I always loved when you would play your guitar and sing especially on Sundays, those memories are just like yesterday, I was so proud of your talent and wanted to be just like you.

I love you every single second...

Miss and Love You Always Compadre. RIP

Happy Birthday to you!!

Dad - Happy Birthday to you, I'm sure your heart is peaceful, your spirit calm and know you are not forgotten and love exist today as much as ever. I love you.

I thought of you today and do remember all the times you were present to see me make my communion and urged me to smile in a picture with you, Dad you were very tough at times but I believe your love for your family never wavered.
I idolized you when I was very young as I resembled you and so with you I identified me.
You had an undeniable presence and genuine never pretending to be something for someone else, so many people in life don't have that type of courage but you always did.
Thank you for many things I didn't give you enough credit for, I love you and what you placed in my heart to love and live by.....

Him and I never called each other by our real names. We just got use to calling each other the way he liked it. Al and I baptized his son and from that day on we called each other by comadre and compadre. He liked that very much. He is free from all his suffering and pain and resting in peace with my sister whom I Love and Miss very much. Rest in Peace both of You.

Papi I miss u soooo much. My life feels empty without you and ma. Thank yku soooo much for giving me the honor of taking care of you in the last days of your life. And thank you for waiting for me to get there so u didnt have to go alone. I know youve met God something youve always wanted. Hes standing at your side now pops and ma on the other side of you. You will always be remembered. Cassie has had another baby to tell your stories to. She makes rice better tban you...just kidding. Luv u and miss u.

Dad,

I don't know how an entire year has passed without you. I think about all the years we did have, I think about they way you could make me laugh and I think about the way we played around when I was young. I admired the way you played guitar and sang too. I was told over and over that I looked like you and that made me happy. I actually do some of the same things you did and I stop and recognize your spirit in my soul. Dad I miss you and hope you are free and so happy in the heavens above.
I love you!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Dad - I love you and miss your spirit...

Happy Birthday Dad,

Now today you would have been 80!
Know my thoughts and heart are with you celebrating many memories and remembering how much you liked celebrating and I feel you will do so in the heavens with Moo today.

I love you, I'm still in disbelief you passed but know it would have been too hard for you to stay back without her.

Happy Birthday, I love you, I remember your spirit, your humor, and I hope your soul is still celebrating.

Love, Lisa

Dad,

Happy Fathers Day to you.
I am always thinking of you, how could I not.
I feel as if you will have a wonderful day because you are at rest and peace now.
Though we are sad without you here, you deserve rest and peace.
Thank you for your sense of humor and the way you saw many things in life.
I realize at times I do some of the very same things you did.
I love you Dad every second and miss you more.

Dad,

Happy Anniversary to you and Moo!
I love you every second...
I think I have the date right?
I miss you, I still can't believe you are not here...
I thought or maybe I hoped we would have you longer.xxxxxxxoooooo

Papa!! Miss you mucho! I hope you and grandma have the best birthda. Please give her a big bear cassie hug for me! I miss you more and more every day ol man! I love you guys so much!

Dad,

Thank you for sending me strength and still being my Dad....I love you every second...

Dad,
Happy Easter, I thought about you in church today. I thought about your smile and I think I have one like you.
I really miss you, life is not the same knowing your not here in this human life I know your spirit is with me, I sense you all the time. I love you, I miss you every second.

Cassie came to see you and Moo today, we all love you. I'm peaceful knowing you are and today I told stories about you that still make me laugh, thank you for those memories.
I love you every second.....

Dad,

Today I wondered if you can see me cry and also certain you are asking, Lisa why?

You believed more than most when one dies its time for a party and an amazing toast.

I think it unfair my father is gone but I realize you joined Moo right where you belong.

I ask you for strength and I need you to be my life-long protector, my Dad and Papi...

I love you every second...
Lisa Marie Rodriguez

Grandpa yet another precious angel of mine you are missed beyond words today and always.... love you

Hello Dad,

I wanted to send you a special kiss of love today. I wish so bad you didn't go away so quickly after Moo but I know you were ready and while I am calmed by the fact you are in peace I cannot grasp your passing just yet.
This past weekend I walked into your room and could smell you and my heart sank. Your spirit remains in the house and although I felt sad I also felt a comfort. I'm so sorry if you suffered greatly before you passed. That is over for you and for Moo.
I believe a great party was waiting for you in the heavens above. I always smile when I think of your sense of humor and your love for little babies.
I miss you and I truly hate the fact you are no longer in this "physical" world with us, that is selfish I know but it is only because the love I have for you. I miss you, I love you, I miss you, I love, I miss you, I love you, I miss you, I love you, I miss you, I love you forever....

Happy Valentines Day Dad!
I hope you are and Mom are able to give each other big smoochies today. I love you every second...
Love, Lisa

Only one week ago you took your last breath on this earth. You joined your honey in heaven. We love you, we cannot believe you are gone and miss you and mom terribly...

Lisa,
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Shana Biggerstaff & Family

Dad,

I know God has you, I know Moo was happy to see you, I know the afterlife must be beautiful and the music is playing any song you wish to hear. Your eternal rest, peace, and supreme joy in the heavens above with Mom is my only comfort right now.

I love you forever Dad,

Lisa Marie

I will like to give my deepest sorrow to the family for their loss.Death is always difficult for everyone, that is why our Father in heaven is going to swallow it up forever (Is 25:8). But until then he will give you comfort to go on.(Is. 61:2). So please look to God for comfort and he will sustain you.
Sincerely someone who cares!

Grandpa(PaPa).. you will be missed so much. We love you more then words can explain and always will. Your with the love of your life again. 37 days after she went into heaven you followed quickly. Within the last month we got to see a happy, smiling side of you that will stay in my heart and in our memories forever. Take care of each other up there. I hope reuniting with grandma is as beautiful as I imagine it would be. Your with the angels now Papa, now and forever!

Lisa and family, we are wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

We love you,

Grandpa(Papa)..You will be missed so much. I have never in 24 years seen you so happy with life than you were within the last month. Your smile will remain in my heart and in my memories forever! I miss you and love you so much papa! Take good care of grandma up there..you guys are with the angels now and forever. I love you!!
