Uncle Junior, thank your for being my rock. Thank you for so many memories of constant reminders when you'd ask "who loves you?" I always knew it was you. There will forever be a time that I think of you in whatever it is I do. I will make it. I forever be reminded that I am a Castellano and we always make it. "And look dam good doing it" for we are forever a Castellano. ...love you my dear Uncle.

You were and always be my Uncle Cas to me. You left beautiful memories to all who knew you, you brought up my cousins well and you have the right to be proud. Your leaving has left a void in many of our lives, but God needed a soldier and no better one then you. I pray that we all will be together in paradise one day. Till then my Uncle Cas, rest in peace and God Bless and remember I love you and will always cherish our memories you left us.

Dear Jr.
God, saw You Tired, when a cure was not to be. So, he wrapped his arms around You, & whispered"come to me". You, didn't deserve what You went through, so he gave You rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.
And when I saw You sleeping, so peacefully & free from pain, I couldn't wish You back, to suffer that again.
Author Unknown
Jr. You will always be in my prayers.
May you R.I.P. now & forever
?? always
XOXO. ..

No one compares to you papa. I wish I could hear one last story...
I can vividly hear your voice & see your beautiful smile.
Who loves you?? (you dad)
How much?
Tooooo much.
We'll reunite soon enough so for now, I know you'll be keeping a close eye on all of us & protecting us from heaven. Can't wait to see you in my dreams & I look fwd to feeling your presence when I need it. Dad, no one will ever compare to you. I'm grateful that you taught us by example of how to stand on our 2 feet & to stand strong amongst so many other qualities. As hard as it is, we will do that. Make sure to kiss your grandkids & your great grandbaby on the forehead every night before they go to sleep & every morning to start their days just right. Dad, I'll forever hold on to our unbreakable bond. That's what will keep me moving fwd. I'll miss you til my last breathe papa
