To my loving father from your youngest daughter Sandra Mendoza Gonzalez.

You are the love of my life and will always be. I miss you terribly and hope time will help heal the pain I feel in my heart. My heart aches to see you again and hear your adorable laugh. I just want to squeeze you again and again but I can't.

I know we will be together again in the future. You have given me faith through your remarkable strengh of energy after you passed. I was not a believer of spirits but now I am. Thank you for letting me know that your okay as I asked you to before you passed.


I love you with all my heart and soul. You were the best father any daughter could ever have. I was lucky to have you in my life.

Love you forever and ever, Sandra Mendoza:)
