Never have I ever loved and respected a man so much as my Tio Armando Mendoza. I know how much he loved us as a kid growing up in his presence. His heart was as big as our universe. His laugh as robust as a smile. I wish he could still be with us but I am at peace with his light that shined on us. May God bless him, my Tia Eva and his children as adults now. Thank you Tio for being just who you are. The best of mankind. I miss you with all my heart and soul.

Blessed beyond belief with a family and ceremony to lay rest a man of service, love and human kindness, He is beyond comparison and if you ever met him then you were blessed. Rest now in Gods arms and surrounded by family. Your service has been recognized. Love eternal .

Mondo was a good friend during my time at CLC. Enjoyed his humor and kindness. We had great times playing games together and he was my table mate for meals. He will be missed. 


Love, laugh, remember and never leave our hearts Uncle Armando. You were only 12 years older than me and I always thought of you as my biggest brother. I also looked up to you as my uncle whose laugh was larger than life itself. There is no comparison to any person who always made me smile, want to go on adventures with and taught me wisdom, patience and love for others less fortunate in life. The Mendoza family welcomed you with a whole new body and  with open arms into heaven on November 9, 2019. I  will miss you dearly, but I am happy and resolutely positive that you are excited to be with everyone now. God Bless you Tio Armando Mendoza, your time with me and others here is over but your eternal life now begins with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through his love and wisdom, you can now live a new life and I shall continue to hear your laughter in my heart and mind whenever I think of you and what you did for me in my lifetime. For being with you and loving me, I am eternally grateful and shall praise your lifetime on earth as a blessing. Rest now and be whole again as it shall always was meant to be. We love you forever. I love you beyond my words. 
Love, 
  Your humble nephew.
