Fortino Mendez Obituary

I have fond memories of your father beginning in the 1950's when I became a member of the Mexican Chamber of Commerce. He worked to raise the image of Mexicans and his hard worked helped all of us. He was a true leader and had a wonderful reputation. Judge David and Maria Cerda

Linda & Rudy,

Our sincere sympathy on the lost of your father. Continue to remember all the good things you shared with him. He was a wonderful and loving man.

Linda,

It is with a heavy heart I write you. I, as well as my family were deeply sadden by the news of your father's passing. Your father gave you each unconditional love, he nurtured you and supported you like a loving father would. I know that he is looking down at you and will continue to place a loving hand around your shoulder, an embrace to comfort you and continue to support you. His memories will light the darkest of days. A father's love for his children can never be replaced it is a gift from God and a bond that can never be broken. I know its difficult for you and your brothers but know that one day we will all be together with our parents and love ones again and what a celebration we will have. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Linda, Rudy and Fortino
I know now is a most difficult time for each of you. Having lost a wonderful and loving father is a void that can never be filled. But I know that the wonderful memories, the beautiful once in a life time celebrations you each shared with your father will never be forgotten. Our parents were great friends and I remember many times passing your father's shop. I have great memories of my father and the pictures he took of the “tailor to the stars”. Your Father's legacy is the love and dedication he had for his children and grandchildren. On behalf of my sisters and myself please accept our heartfelt sympathies.

Senor,
I have always admired your ability to care for and raise a family without having to rely on someone else giving you a paycheck. You earned a living and cared for all of your loved ones and you were totally independent. This is an attribute I truly admired and wished I had the strength that you had to be as independent and self reliant . I will miss your calmness and many of the stories you would tell. You will always be in my memories.

Your son-in-law
Carlos.

Dad,

Mi corazon siempre fue tuyo. No te lo decia. Tu lo sabias. No hubo secreto. El viernes, me hiziste falta. Al salir al aire, la tarde me recordo de muchas tardes de veranos pasados. Llegando tu a la casa de la May despues del trabajo. El ruido de la puerta de abajo al abrir, luego tus pasos, lentos, y a veces chiflando una cancion, sonidos bonitos. Gracias, daddy, por estos recuerdos. Ahora veo bien que una vida entera contigo no fue suficiente tiempo. Suerte mia que estas bien metido en mi corazon. Te quiero, te quiero. Si puedes, no to vayas muy lejos. Deja sentirte cerca. No te olvides de mi. I love you, dad.

Linda

P.S. Mom, te quiero. I miss you. Cuidense.

Linda, Rudy and Fortino,

I am very sorry for your father's death. Life is so short and our parents have now left us with all the wonderful, joyous memories of the times that we shared with them.

Time continues to grind forward but they will never be forgotten for those memories will be with us for the balance of our time. Keep them alive in your hearts as you three stand together the way your Mom and Dad planned for you.

God blessed you with a wonderful Father and Mother. Give thanks and praise for they are now again together through the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
