One more year yet it seems like yesterday. You are forever in our hearts. Can't wait to see you again.

It's still crazy that Mandy is not here with us. If only he knew how much he is still missed and loved by those who knew him. We will forever miss him.

Barbara & Saul

I miss you everyday papi. You were the best Dad I could have ever asked for. I wish we could've been men together. I love you.

Hi Mandy!
You are one of those special souls that will never leave my heart. As a mom now I know how difficult the parent role is and you were so wonderful at it! You were a real father!

You taught me and you took care of me like one of your own.

On a less serious note, you have also shaped me in many ways. Thanks to you I enjoy dining out and dining the RIGHT way.

Thank you for giving me so many memories to cherish and a friend for life.

As a little girl, I'd have nightmares of losing my dad. I'd wake up scared, run to wherever he was just to make sure he was still there. I would feel relieved when I'd see that he was and go back to sleep assured that it was just a nightmare. Then, one night it wasn't a nightmare. One night, I went to check and he was gone.

It's been a decade since my nightmare became a reality. A decade since I've looked into those eyes or held that hand. A decade since I've looked into his eyes or held his hand. A decade without my dad. 3

Still missed. Never forgotten!

Mandy!!! You have missed so much over the years, Nico and I often talk about how in love with my babies you’d be & how much you would probably bother them just like you used to do to me. You are definitely missed and Oh so loved. <<<333

Hi Mandy,
You were truly a special man. I always felt like family with you. I like to believe you are still around, I feel you through Nicole and Danny. I am truly blessed to have them, thank you.

I love you, I know you’re in a great place watching over us all. We all miss you so much!

I miss you always, papi!!

5 years have passed - although it seems like life has moved on without you - I still think of you every day. You have become a part of my skin and I miss you. I hope that you truly are in a much better place. Life has been very difficult without you.

Mi Asito, no puedo creer que ya pasaron 4 años de tu partida, muy rapida, pero sabemos que estas en un lugar muy especial, por que siempre fuistes un buen hombre, hijo, buen esposo, padre, amigo te extrañamos, love you for ever. <3

4 years. May you be at peace, without struggles, worries or pain, may you be in the most beautiful place you had ever seen, may it be magical, I know you are in a much better place, the ones you left behind are still struggling with your departure, but the hope of someday reuniting is minor relief for the pain.  We miss you.

Gone too soon. 4 years since I last saw you, pops. I often think of you, dream of you, imagine you, cry for you, need you, want you near. If only I can have the chance to see you again and spend one more day with you... I think I'd never let you go. I wish I can hug you and see your face! I love your face. Sometimes I just stare at pictures of you and imagine you alive in that moment... and for that moment, I'm lost in a daydream of you. Papi, I love you so much and still need you. I hope you're safe and happy wherever your soul resides, but I also hope you're still watching over me. I want you to stay in my life forever, stay very much alive through me. Rest in peace, my hero.

On this 4th year anniversary we want to say we have our friend Mandy in our hearts, we miss him and one day we hope to meet again. RIP <3

4 years today, we all lost Mandy. Whether he was a friend, co-worker, father or son, he was great at all those. He was a genuine person who loved his family dearly and did anything for a friend. My family and I still miss him greatly and will forever be in our hearts. But we are certain we will see Mandy once again and can't wait for that day. The Bible promises a resurrection of all who have died as well as there will be a time where death will be no more. Revelations 21:4. In the meantime, we continue remembering Mandy and the wonderful person he was.

To our dear friend Mandy, on this the 3rd anniversary of your death we want to honor you on this page, we miss you, we have so many wonderful memories of your life here on earth, but we know you are in the presence of God and all his angels. I hope you have connected with my mom somehow and we hope to meet with you again someday. For now RIP Mandy, we love you and we always remember you <3

Dear Mandy,
I cannot believe it has been two years from that awful night when you passed away, seems like yesterday. We think about you all the time since you were so full of life and would light up a room with your presence and the wonderful personality God blessed you with. RIP my friend, till we meet again <3

2 years already. Where does the time go? Seems like an eternity without you yet still fresh like the wound hasn't recovered yet. I hope more than anything that you're doing good, somewhere beautiful where you deserve to be! I hope that at least you've been given a magical new home so that it can compensate for the pain you left behind here in so many hearts. I love you & miss you ALWAYS <3

February 3, 1989 - Happy Anniversary - Wherever you are at !

Dear God, there is an empty chair at our table, an ache in our hearts and tears on our faces. We may try to shield one another from the grief we bear but we cannot hide it from you. We pray for Armando, whose presence we miss in these homecoming days. Open our hearts and minds to the healing and warmth of the light of your presence.

We pray, Lord, and we trust that those we miss have found their place at your table, their home in your heart. Open our hearts to joyful memories of the love we shared with those who have gone before us. Help us tell the stories that make present the past and bring us close again to those we miss.

Teach us to lean on each other and on you, Lord, for the strength we need to walk through difficult times. Give us quiet moments with you, with our thoughts, with our memories and prayers. Be with us, Lord, and hold us in your arms even as you hold those who have gone before us.

Help us to trust that one day we shall be with those we love when your mercy gathers us together in the joy of the life you promise us. This is the day you have made, Lord: help us to rejoice in it and in the promise of your peace. Amen. - A Concord Pastor.

Parece mentira que ya hace 1 año, es muy dificil de creer, pero se que donde tu estas en el cielo junto con Dios esta giando a tu esposa y hijos, y dandole toda la fuerza necesaria para seguir adelante perdimos a un Angel, un Heroe de familia love you my Asso, R.I.P ♥♥♥♥♥

Hopefully i can be at least half the man he was , and also that i make him as proud as i am to be his son throughout my life . RIP my angel i know you'll always be looking out for me

Armando " Mandy" DeTorres forever in our hearts papi

my life seems duller and less fun without him here . I dnt have him to do everything with and to teach me everything he knows. I would ride in his truck whick is now mine and he would tell me all his life storys and a bunch of jokes that even if they werent funny he"d crack up. I can write for days. Npw i have to go through life without you and its the saddest thought

what can i say, on april 1st i lost everything. My best friend, my guide, my role model, my teacher, the person i went to when i had a problem or when i was happy or when i just wanted a hug or to play around. I miss my dad with every inch of me . I was so proud to be his son because to me my dad was the best person in the world and no one can tell me other wise.

It's been a year yet the feelings still remain the same.The want, the need, the longing never fades. I missed you then, I miss you now, I'll miss you ALWAYS. I daydream, think, imagine, dream at night of you all the time. You're always here... in my thoughts, my actions, my emotions, my heart. You didn't really die because you're very much alive IN ME everyday.

Tantas lindas memorias y cosas comicas que vivimos que podria hacer un libro de cuento,en el momento que yo enviude a los 36 años siempre te preocupastes por mi me llamavas,para saber como yo estava y como estavan mis hijos,nunca pense que yo ahora hiva hacer tu papel con Daisy y tus hijos se que estas en un lugar mejor siempre te quise mucho al igual que se que ustedes a nosotros love you

Yo tengo tantas lindas memorias de Mandy desde el primer dia que lo conoci,eso fue en los 80's era amigo de mi ex Marcos Mendoza el cual hace tiempo murio,pero vivimos una epoca tan linda Mandy,Daisy,El y yo, eramos muy buenos amigos,saliamos a bailar,comer,ir a la playa,montar caballo ho ellos venian para mi casa,nos deciamos ASSOS era un buen esposo,padre,hijo,amigo,I miss you very much.

I met Mandy 21 years ago when he moved across the street with his family. We became very good friends and have created a bond through the years that I consider them family. We have so many memories together. He was funny, witty and full of life with a spark like no other. An amazing husband and father and also a great friend. We miss him everyday and he will be in our hearts forever <3

My precious angel: How I miss your sweet smile, your kind heart, your positive outlook on life, your warm hugs, your caring ways, your love in every way. Words can't even begin to describe my feelings for you. "Daddy's little girl" doesn't even begin to cover the bond we had. I will FOREVER remember, miss, love and think about you. You are always on my mind. You will NEVER be forgotten.

I met Mandy when I was 17 years old. I saw him dancing and then he walked by me and that was it. He saved my life. I was lost and he made me the person I am today. We have 2 beautiful children that have his heart. I miss him terribly and think of him daily.

This is beautiful Daisy. Mandy was a great husband and father and friend. Although I only spoke to him a few times he was a very important person in my brothers life and helped him so much and for that i love him and care for him. May he always be with you and the kids.
