In knowing you for a little over 2 ½ years you were an inspiration and a mentor, your knowledge was unlimited yet you were open enough to listen. You taught me a lot about life, both business and pleasure. Your smile would light up the moment and that moment would carry on until your next smile.
In all of my life I have never met a person like you and the odds are I never will, you are a great man in my eyes and thank you for providing me with many great memories.
May God bless you and your family and until we meet again may you rest in peace. You will be truly missed

Dear Dad-in-Law:

My heart aches as there is a great piece gone. I am so blessed to have had you as my Father-in-Law. I will miss your humor, your practical and sensible manner of seeing and doing things. Most of all, your love and great concern for each member of your family. You always made us feel at ease and loved in any situation. Thank you for the beautiful legacy you leave behind in your family, especially your wonderful son, Jerry, my husband, who is my life. Love, Carmen
