Grandpa Cruz, I miss you so much! The memories I have with u are endless.  From Friday visit to going to the race track with you on Sundays. And I’m so thankful for all of them. I just wish I had the memory you had. You would tell us story of things you did when u were a child to things you did with us. Thank you for teaching me how to play pool. You and I were the best partners when playing against my dad and chuyito ( and yes grandpa I remember chuyito is yours) 🤣 I could still hear your laugh whenever we would beat them. (And that was often 🤫) . You were the #1 fan of the Dallas Cowboys and of your Budweiser (in a red solo cup). I still don’t know how you could drink that beer, the one time I did drink it I had the worst headache ever. You would always offer us a beer and say “ ¿Quieres una de las cervezas de verdad o las de agua?” 🤣 Thank you for always making time to go see doctor Matthew play baseball and for always calling to see how “Houston” (Austin) did on his games. I’m so thankful I was send another boy to name after you and thankful that you were able to meet Derek Cruz. I would’ve loved to hear u call him “Cruzito”. I will always talk to him about you and grandma. Grandpa thank you for showing us so much love, thank you for always being at all our events. You and grandma were always the first ones to get to my parents house for our birthday parties. Never late! I always knew if the party was at 5pm I would hear the door open at 4pm and I would run to the door to give u a big hug. 😍 I  miss your smile. I’m going to miss getting to your house and seeing you light up with happiness to see us. You have no idea how good that made me feel. 🥰  But I know you are watching over all of us still! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS GRANDPA!!! 😘😘 

I have so many memories of you Uncle Cruz, my fondest being that wonderful smile and the laughter in your voice. How you always remembered Steve was a Vikings fan, you always said "how bout those Vikings Steve".  Your love of horse racing you and my dad shared at Sunland Park.  The homecoming Jeff vs Bowie football games, Christmas parades downtown
The many weddings and quincenarias memories.  Uncle you will truly be missed, I  thank you for the many memories our families shared and the WONDERFUL family you raised that we call family. RIP Uncle Cruz, until we meet again in paradise. 
Love YOU always Uncle Cruz,

Steve, Yvette & family



It was an honor to have met you Mr. Valles. Your beautiful smile always lifted people's spirits up. Your life and marriage was an example for everyone to follow. You always made us feel welcomed and would make time to sit and talk to us.  Even though you are not physically present,  your legacy remains with the people that love you and miss you. You have left a troubled world to be in paradise  free of pain and worries.  It is not a permanent separation,  it is only a temporary good-bye.  P. S. Hug God very hard for me.    

Dad, I'm so Thankful for all the the memories we shared together, I keep thinking about you Daddy, even though it hurts sooo Much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and think of the times we would watched Texas Ranger (Chuck Norris) & Bonaza, you telling me every character that came out and the other movies they came out in. Russell & Christopher enjoyed the time spent with you & the wise advice you gave them thru out your time they had with you.You'll Always be on mind, forever in my Heart!!! May the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear I Love You til we see each other again...I Love You Forever your Daughter Cecilia (Cecy) Valles Montoya    

Daddy, my heart hurts so much!  I will always miss you although I know you are in heaven with grandma and all of our family members that have passed.  You were a wonderful father, who instilled beautiful family values in all of us.  Hopefully the Dallas Cowboys will win some games now knowing they have their number one fan in their corner!  Rest in peace Dad, I love you so much!!
We'll take care of mom, so don't worry!  

My dearest daddy, 

My heart is broken and I miss you terribly. You will forever be in my heart and soul. I love you with all of my being.  Mom misses you very much and remains strong for the beautiful family you two created. Torito misses and loves you as so does Sarita and Rebecca. Till I see you again. ❤️

We love you so much Grandpa.  You are terribly missed more than anyone can imagine.
