Pa pa pa pa pa pa estas fueron una de sus últimas palabras favoritas de todos los tiempos "PA". Solía ​​entrar a su habitación todos los fines de semana para tener una conversación normal con usted. Una vez me dijeron que no recordarías nada y eso no nos impidió tener nuestras conversaciones frecuentes sobre cualquier cosa hasta el último día. Todavía te hablo a veces en mis oraciones ya que todavía eras físico aquí con nosotros. . trabajábamos juntos, solías traerme el almuerzo, solíamos hablar todo el tiempo con ese teléfono celular que tenías. hasta que un día tuve tu visita en la casa de Jaime. me preguntaste cómo volver a casa. Estaba confundida papá. ¿Por qué me pregunta si debería haber recordado cómo llegó allí? No tenía idea de que estabas enfermo papá ni idea, podría haberte perdido tantas veces. cuando me dijeron que tenías Alzheimer, yo estaba como ¿qué es eso? Cuando me pidieron que fuera a ayudar a cuidarlo, lo hice con honor pero teniendo muy poco o ningún conocimiento de tu horrible enfermedad. mi corazón se rompió en pedazos, ¡ desearía que fuera yo, no tú! Te extraño tanto, extraño nuestras conversaciones que nadie más sabe de lo que hablamos, excepto tú y yo. No estaba segura de si me entendiste el 95% del tiempo. todo lo que vi fue una sonrisa en tu atractivo rostro y eso es lo que me hizo seguir creyendo que entenderás algo. Estoy segura de que lo hiciste, ¿verdad, papá? Que tu alma preciosa descanse en el Paraíso. ¡Te amo siempre tu baby, yo por supuesto!

Este con Dios, descanse en paz ......

Dad, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I will always question myself if I did all I could've done for you. I wish with all my heart that you're at peace and happy.

Just remembering how fast you deteriorated, both mentally and physically, breaks my heart. I felt helpless, angry and sad for not been able to stop the progress of the disease. Alzheimer's not only took your memories, it took our father from us. 

It seems just like yesterday when we used to sit outside your house and tried to exercise your mind by counting numbers, remembering colors, places, names and even attempting at exercising your legs. 

I remember when the doctor informed us that you wouldn't walk again. But, they didn't know how stubborn you were. You proved them wrong! You are a true testament of courage, perseverance and willpower. 

My biggest regret was not been able to have open conversations with you about our lives, both past and present. Not only did we physically resembled each other, but our temperaments and our reserved personalities were too much alike. Even though I never expressed it, please know that I will always treasure those times and memories. Dad you will always live in my heart.

Love you Dad!
May you soul rest in peace🌻🙏



What more can I say other than I love you and thank you for life itself 

Love Nacho 

You will forever remain alive in my heart and memories dad, this pain is only made easier by knowing that your suffering is over at last.  
And though  I’m still learning to live without you I still miss you so much.  We will see each other one day again and I promise to make you laugh to my silly jokes again ,ok dad !
Lo Quiero mucho papa

We had our lifetime moment... I will never forget. We talked about life, we talked about our memories, some good but a lot of sadness. It captured what we thought of each other and optimism (eventually) towards each other. Dad, you were and will have always been a hard-headed individual. A man of men, a brut, a respected man, a man of fear and man not to be reckoned with... I never wanted to let the family down and always strived to advance the "Rodriguez" lineage. My dear family, me and especially my mother has all endeared so many aspects of your being. Looking back, you were talented, always wanting to be successful and an entrepreneur with a harsh "Tony Montana" reality. "Never get fucked with, money is king and it brings women." I appreciate your instilled lifelong fear; "I will not have any gang-bangers or lowlifes in the familia" you said "or I will hang you by your balls!" crying... your unconventional approach was instantaneously shocking but life changing and impacting. I can now appreciate your unprecedented approach to life, to teaching the guys life, to ensuring our betterment. To wanting the girls having a solid future with your "approved" companions (which didn't happen, Aha). Padre, mi viejo, rest in peace. You lived life. You paid hard. And if I am half that... I will too! Rest in Peace, LOVE you. Kike 
 


 To my beloved Father, 

It's hard to comprehend the fact that you are no longer with us to experience and make more memorable times together as a family.  Although most of us weren't always by your side, we still had the same love for you and appreciation for everything you've done. It gives me peace to know that you are no longer suffering from what you've gone through and that you are now in a much better place. Reminiscing old times with brothers and sisters of old memories we had with you makes me feel like you're still in the room with us, thinking of those old times and laughing with that laugh I love of yours.  Whether the memories we had were good or bad, we still and always will  love you. Visiting you and making you laugh always brought smiles to my face. Knowing I should've and possibly could've gone more makes me hurt.  But during those times I spent with you it made me realize how much I'm thankful for you.  Thank you for everything you've done. Not only for me but for everyone. Thank you for caring and loving us even if it didn't show all the time. We all truly miss you. I miss you. Thank you again. I love you, Apa. Rest in peace <3 Until we meet again. 

Love,

Maricela (Mari) Rodriguez.

As a kid I used to have to go help my Dad in his business endeavors.  Those  are the days when we spent a lot of time together. .  This era of my life is what I reflect about when thinking about my dad, there are many fond memories of him.

All the conversations we had about the past, the family, about having good work ethic.  I cherish them all.  I still hold on to the lessons my dad taught me and they have serve me well. 

I appreciated everything you did for me.  Rest in Peace, Apá.

Love,
Jaime (Jimmy) Rodriguez

Apa,
I always remembering you shouting “Mija!” with a giant smile on your face.  You were a man of few words, but you were always kind to me and asked me how I was doing. When I see my parents backyard I think of you. You were always out there with Toby.  It brings me peace to know that you guys are together, no longer suffering. I will never forget the memories the last few years when you lived with us before Alzheimer’s took over.   Whether it was having oatmeal together in the mornings, or going to the swap meet you always agreed to come along for the ride. No matter what occasion it was in my life you were always there, thank you. You are deeply missed by all of us. May you Rest In Peace Apa. 

RIP 
Miguel Rodriquez you will be forever missed. You are with God now in a much better place.

Love Always Dory 



Apa, gracias por cuidar mí papá. Usted era su mejor amigo,  yo sé que todavía lo cuides y a toda la familia en el cíelo. Descansa en paz. Nos vemos un día. Te quiero. 

Dad,
There is not a day that goes by that I miss you so much. I miss talking to you every day and being next to each other. You were my father, friend, companion, roommate. I know you are with god now. R.I.P. my idol. I will  always cherish every second we had together for the rest of my life. "Upala" ala vida, right pops.You will always be in my heart.

LOVE YOU!

LETTER TO MY FATHER 

You never said I love you
or hugged any of us.
You never said goodbye 
and God only knows why.

It broke my heart to lose you, 
but find comfort in my heart 
that I told you dad I love you 
till the last days of my life.

Our lives have changed forever 
since the day you passed away. 
Please keep our family together 
as grow apart each day.

I will miss you dearly, 
but I know you're with 
the lord in heaven and 
one day will meet again.

Yolie R.









Papa, no tienes idea de cuánto te extraño. Iba a empacar mis cosas para ir a cuidarte este fin de semana pasado. Por favor cuídanos desde el cielo, siempre serás parte de nosotros. Sé que estás en el cielo ahora y que ya no estás sufriendo, hasta que nos volvamos a ver. Te quiero mucho dad.. Siempre seré tu bebé. Descanse en paz papá    😘♥️

💜Cynthia💜
