I write this a few days before Fathers Day to let you know how much I miss you. I know your up in heaven looking down on us and helping us out when ever you can. I know its you doing that I wanted to say thank you. We never had too much time to spend with each other and now that your gone I talk with you almost everyday and enjoy every minute of that time. I just want to let you know how much I miss you and tell you that I love you.

Your daughter Renee.

Dear Bob and Connie and Frank, Ralph, Ricky, Rachel, Johnnie, and Gloria and Eva and Renee and families,

My mom often reminds me that she and my Dad were Bobby's Godparents at Baptism. She also tells me that on that day, my sisters, Lila and Louise, were also baptized at the same time along with another close family and friends - Manuel and Mary Martinez - and that you, Connie and Bob, were their son Butchie's Godparents. It was a Baptimal Fiesta with so many of you gathered together! Why I mention this fact is because it is truly symbolic of the friendship and love and joy that our families have treasured throughout the years. Now, we too share in your grief and loss. While Red is no longer on this earth with us, he surely welcomed his Godson Bobby with open arms just as he would have and did when they were both here on earth. The fondest memories of my childhood were with the Cabrera family/kids, particularly our game of tag of "I gotcha last". Yes, we all will miss Bobby's humor and laughter. May fond memories and our prayers comfort each of you now and the days ahead. Love, Rosie
