10 years is crazy! I miss you so much dad. I wish you were here with us at this day and age. I think about the grandfather you would be to our children and how much you’d love and adore each other. I think about the things I’d love to talk to you about although I still do in hopes that you can hear me in some way. You live through your children. I see you inside of Ruben, Rose, Alexis, and me. We got an unexplainable love for music from you but aside from that there’s so much more. You’re the most unique and special person Ive ever known. How blessed I feel to have had the pleasure of living side by side with you as your daughter. You’ve taught some of the most important lessons in life that we will carry with us forever. I love you so much Dad, you are truly missed every single day. Love always, Jen.

I AM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, to laugh,
to love, to work or play.
Tasks undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If parting has left a void, then fill it
with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now, He set me free.
                               Missing you more and more each day , its getting harder but I will be strong for you .... I love you , i am sorry I never said everything I felt in my heart , I wish you were here so I could tell you everything I wanted to say and didnt please forgive me I love you more than you will ever know. Rest In Peace my little brother ,

Just a few words about my primo Benny.He was more than a cousin to me but more like a brother.I miss him very much and think about him everyday.Since we were children we always kept in touch.Once I moved into the barrio I saw him regularly for the next 20 years.No matter what troubles he was going through he always made time to stop by and check if I was all right.We both loved music so we jammed all the time at my house.My daughter grew up knowing him as uncle Benny and she loved him also.He always had us laughing.My life will never be the same and there's really no one left in the neighborhood.Me and him were the last ones.So I'm seriously thinking of moving out of the barrio.No family left here.I will always miss you.You were always there for me.I love you and miss you my brother.I have alot of faith and you did also.So I know we will meet again.God bless you're soul.Nothing but love primo.

When you would go places and take me along with you. I remember sitting in the back seat of the car. We drove around to many places listening to music. I'll never forget this thing you would do that didn't mean much to me then, but means the world to me now. You'd always adjust the review mirror to face towards me, you'd look at me, smile and wink your eye.... it's like you said I love you with just a stare.  I know now in my heart that I brought you so much happiness. I've known love dad. The love you gave to me is my greatest gift in life. A daddy's love.

I remember when I was sick in the hospital, and I was gonna have surgery sometime that day, but they had no idea on the time, and u showed up, I was there all alone and I looked up and saw you and instantly felt a sense of relief and happiness that you, my big brother was there, after a while you stepped out and said you'd be right back, and when u came back after a few minutes u had this little tiger that roars, u got it from the gift shop for me and when u walked into the room u put it next to your face and smiled as it roared, and it just made me so so happy...you said you'd be leaving back to work in a bit, and then they came out of no where to take me to surgery and I was so scared , I looked over at you and you said don't worry I'm not going back to work you went with me in the elevator as the nurse wheeled me away and you kissed me and said I'll be right here when you wake up, and I said okay I love you brother and u replied I love you to mija, I'll be right here...
