Feliz Cumpleanos Viejo,

Peps I miss you everyday of my life on the good days and even more on the bad days. I miss seeing you dance and hearing you laugh and smelling your cologne when you hug me. I miss hearing you call me Celia Cruz and making you coffee and bringing you your breakfast on sundays while you clean. I miss making you your favorite drink Orange juice with Campari and wish you were here so we could go to Atlantic City like you always wanted to do with me. A big piece of me left with you and I wish I could just have you back even for day.

I love you with all of me
Celia Cruz

Mi viejito,
It’s going on almost 7 years now without you ! My heart aches and I long to see you, hear you or even dream of you. I don’t know why today is much harder than any other day I just want to hear you one last time. Since you’ve been gone I got married , divorced , married again and gave birth to my little pepin/Charlie. She reminds me so much of you...her stubbornness, her determination, and just her spirit. God gave me a piece of you in her. I miss you every single day today is just harder than ever. I’d give anything to hear your words of wisdom, encouragement, and guidance. May you watch over little and big Charlie , me and the whole family. Rest easy mi Viejo te adoro Con todo mi corazon y Todo mi alma. Mi anjel en el cielo.

Con tanto azucar
Su Cela Cruz

Happy birthday pops, almost have my masters and it's all a tribute to all of you that read this but none more than pops whom always instilled in me that we are children of the most high God and miracles. We can do anything we put our minds to just have faith and it will all be done. Te quiero Papa y que Dios Siges bendiciendo tu familia, Amen.

Pops it's been 5 years already and this has been my best year yet. I syarted that journey we spoke of long ago to get my degree from college that I started in 96. I got my bachelor's in Business Administration and I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I am now in my MBA graduating in my and I will walk the stage with your picture in my pocket so you can share the success with me. Your grand daughter Mercedes, that shares your birthday gave birth to a son and he has green eyes, what luck but he came out cinammon like you. I love and miss you pops, I hope heaven and the Angels are treating you well and say hello to our heavenly Father for me. Tell Him I'm keeping Him first place so He can continue blessing us super naturally. Take care til we meet again.

Happy birthday to the man I call Dad you will always be remembered for all the amazing times we spent laughing and singing together. The cards and trips were fantastic as well. You are so amazing in my life my daughter that you said would come (Mercedes Michelle Rodriguez) shares your birthday as well as Danny and Annie's Emma and a few more. See you when I get there Pops we have a lot to catch up on. Thank you with all my heart for the awesome advice you have made me a better man. You know we still talk in my quiet times and to the creator of the site thank you for such a great tribute. To Charlie thank you brother you have outdone yourself on this one for such a great man, like they said in the funeral home you make us better just with your presence and love for all of us. Miss you Pops but you are always with me with every breathe. I love you with all my heart your son Tuti.

Pop it has been a little over a year and i must say that I miss you more and more each day. I miss your words of encouragement and the "my way or the highway" theme. I sit around and think of all the things that you used to say to us and all I can do is laugh and sometimes cry about the things that you said and are now coming to fruitation. On your Birthday as you sit in Heaven and look down on all of us please keep us in your prayers. Watch over all of us and keep us safe from all evil and as we pray for you may the lite of the cadles and prayers shine your path through heaven. We love you and miss you.

Happy Birthday Grandfather! May you be dancing and drinking in heaven with the angels! You are missed everyday!!!

To the grandfather I only knew you will be greatly missed. I will always remember the times you would come home from work and go up for a drink and then come down and share it with us even tho we were like 8. Lol! I will also miss coming home and you yelling at me cuz I haven't been here forever! Your always in my thoughts and you will never be forgotten.
