Dear Vanessa & Joey Even though I never met your father looking at his photo I see a handsome man that radiates love. A love for a father is special. A father/child bond never goes away, it lasts forever. Your dad is resting in peace now. We never want our parents to leave us and most importantly, never want them to suffer. Find comfort knowing he is not suffering. Heaven has gained another angel ?. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad. My heart breaks ? for both of you and your mom. Anna, I know how upset you have been, he was the father of your children, that connection never breaks. May God give you all the strength you need to get through the grieving process. I love ❤️ you all! May God bless and keep us all safe! Amen. Sending love ? Lisa

My sweet, kind, generous, loving and gentle dad. I have such fond memories of you and me together. Memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. You were so giving of your love to your family, especially to your wife and Carlos. They loved you tremendously. I will miss my conversations with you, and how you always reminded how you used brush my hair and get me ready for school. You did spoil me and I loved it. Thank you giving me that dad. I know your last days here on earth were so difficult and you suffered. It pains us all, because you didn’t deserve that. But the Lord took you home and now you are at peace with your loved ones in heaven. Dad I didn’t tell you this enough, but I love you and will miss you dearly. Love always and forever. Vanessa

It will be little things that we remember—smiles, laughter—and although it is hard right now, the memories of these things will become tools to push away the pain and No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Please members of family accept My deepest sympathy.

Two young guys in the Bronx, hanging out together. We talked and shared stories. We were best friends. We went all over seeking fun and adventures. Rest patiently my friend. We will hang out again.
