This month is always such a hard month for me. I absolutely hate the thought of March 17th, and especially all these Saint Patrick day celebrations that occur on this day. I try to to reduce my time on social media, because I cringe every time I see someone celebrating on a day that turn my whole world upside down, filled with devastation, and almost destroyed my life. Lord have mercy give me strength. Lord knows I love you, and that love is eternal beyond measure. I find so much peace and comfort knowing you are with the Lord and your loved ones. It is just not fair, but I know I have to continue to go on. Your birthday is coming up, and I am going to try my very best to celebrate your life all week, despite this painful month. I love you always and forever.
I woke up this morning with my mind heavy. It is not a day that goes by that I don't think about life with you, the memories, and I always wonderful what life would have been like if you were still here with us today. I could not help but smile the other day when thinking about my life, and the many things you taught me. Thank God every day for the time I had with you. You have such Wonderful and Handsome Sons and Beautiful and Handsome Grandchildren growing up day by day every year, and you would be so proud of them. They all come from you. What a blessing. You touched so many lives, and we all love you so very much! Continue to rest on in God 's loving arms.
Never a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. You will always be a part of my soul. Eternally bonded Forever. I love you to my core Carlos!

God for the wonderful opportunity to be with you and share in your life. You have three wonderful Sons, two beautiful granddaughters that are something. Newest addition Corey Jr. Your little grandson an angel. We love you!
I knew you were special the day I met you. Seeing you at the locker upstairs at Johnson with your sun glasses on. I thought I was in heaven. Such a wonderful young Man who was raised by a God-fearing Woman who taught you the importance of the Lord, Family and Life. You loved your family so much! They love you so much!!!!!
