Hello Tio, its been a couple of weeks since I last wrote to you but you know your always on my mind...  missing you more and more Tio, love you.  I know you know already but Tristan's team lost its first game last week, they are now 3-1, keep guiding Tristan tio, he loves and misses you too, ok tio, gotta go, write you later... :)

Hey Tio, check out Tristan's outfit this morning for school...  "Si se Puede!"

Hey Joe, por favor dile a "Chuy" que deje de llover por hoy y mañana que quiere jugar su Tristan... :)    Miss you Tio...  O yeah and we changed your brother Roberto's name to "Bob"... Love you and talk to you soon.

EIGTH CANDLE LIT IN YOUR MEMORY, WELL YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY WENT TO YOUR ROSARY. THE WEEKEND WAS VERY HORRIBLE PLEASE GUIDE US THROUGH THIS PATH. ALSO LOOK OVER NAT, ALFONSO AND NELLY THEY REALLY NEED YOU ALOT. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF YOU ROSARY'S.

Papi, theres not a day that goes by that I dont think of you.. I needed you soo badly this weekend. I knew that you were the one person that could make it all better for me.. Please help us thru these rough times. I love you sooooo much papi! And I miss you like you have no idea! :(

Buenos Dias Tio!   Wanted to fill you in on something that happened yesterday on the ride to the park as we were passing by Rosewood, Tristan asked a couple of questions when he saw the cemetery, he asked, “Daddy, are there bodies in the those things (he was referring to the headstones)?”, he then asked, “where's Tio's body?”, I tried my best to explain to him that your body was in Mexico and your spirit is with us everyday, then he said, “I miss Tio, is his spirit going to be at my game?”, I told him, “yes Papi, we all miss Tio and yes his spirit is going to be there” and he said, “ok, Daddy, I'm going to play good for Tio” and I told him, “ok Papi, I know you will”.   Then there was the game, I definitely felt your spirit there as there was a lot of family there as well, I wanted to thank you for helping assisting him on those catches at first base and assisting him with the game winning hit that brought in the 2 runs needed to win.  After the game he got the game ball and I was telling him, “Papi, great catches at first base” and he said, “Daddy, Tio helped me catch the balls!”, it was a great night and glad you were there in spirit….  Love you Tio and I will keep you updated with all his games as I'm sure “Chuey” has you painting the heavens and you may miss a game or two…  again, Love you and miss you Tio, talk to you soon…

SEVENTH CANDLE LIT IN YOUR HONOR. SORRY I DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE ROSARY IN YOUR HONOR. I WILL BE SURE TO BE THERE TODAY UNTIL THE NINTH DAY. SPOKE TO MY SIS A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY, PLEASE GIVE HER ALL THE STRENGHT TO GET BY THIS. I KNOW SHE IS HURTING VERY MUCH. I TRY TO BE THERE FOR HER. LOVE YOU SIS.

Sixth Candle lit in your honor.
Well brother in law you had to shake the city a little so that everybody new you were home. It was a great scare to all of us here in Houston, but glad to know that you are home. My sisters and Alfonso, Nat and all your family members are okay. What a scare. May you continue to give them strenght and guide them. Lots Love.

Hi Tio, just wanted to tell you thank you for last night, Tristan had 3 awesome catches at first base and I know that you helped him catch those balls; I've been working with him for the past 3 months and he's getting better but the catches surprised me…  as you know they won 15 to 5 and Tristan did well, I told him after the game that he did good and I told him to keep playing good because Tio is watching you and love the way you play…  Love you Tio and miss you greatly…   I know your physically in  your “Querido Mexico” but spiritually are with us, please keep protecting and giving strength to my Tia Nelly, Gordo and Nena, we will be here for them no matter what and know that we love all of you dearly…  Ok Tio, talk to you later Chilango..…  “Hasta La Victoria Siempre”

Papi, It feels so great to have you back at home. Im dreading the moment we have to leave Houston and go to Mexico.. But I know Mexico was where you always wanted to be.. And no matter where you are I know you will be right next to me. Please help Guide me, Protect me, & Strenghten me. As well as Mom and Alfonso. My heart continues to hurt with everyday you are not here with us. I hope that this pain will improve over time.

Dad, there are so many things I wish I would have done differently. I wish I could have told you one last time how much I love you and how thankful I am for everything you did for me. I wish I could give you one last big tight hug! Papi, I still try to understand WHY? Why my papi? We needed you! 

Pikin, Misses you soo much. He sees the truck and thinks its you.. He jumps around and gets all excited. I think he sees you at night. Since you used to say that you talked "Perro" I hope you tell him that he will be okay and that we love him! 

Well papi, I love you! 

Hasta la victoria siempre!

FIFTH CANDLE BRO IN LAW, I WILL COME AND VISIT YOU BEFORE YOU DEPART HOUSTON. IT IS STILL VERY HARD, EVEN HARDER TO SEE MY SISTER AND KIDS GRIVEING. MISS YOU.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

By Lamaretta Simmons

Hey Tio, just wanted to stop by and say hi, I know you are watching all of us from Heaven and "behind the clouds" as Tristan says.. Tio we are missing you more and more as each day goes by,  please continue to watch over Tia, Gordito and Nena and continue to give them strength.  Tristan said that we have to go to church this weekend because he said its for Tio, we will be there this weekend for sure with Tia, Gordo and Nena.  You already know that we missed this past Sundays church because of McDonalds (Nathaniel), he had a baseball tournament, speaking of baseball, Tristan's baseball season starts March 26, he asked me how are you going to be there if there are no clouds when he plays, we told him that you will be there and wouldn't miss it, Tristan said, "I know daddy, he's going to be there and I'm going to hit it hard for Tio Jose"  ok Tio, talk to you later, I guess I have to get back to work...  Love you.. :)

4th LIGHT I LIGHT IN YOUR HONOR. MAY YOU REST IN PEASE. LOVE YOU....

Papi, today makes a week since you left us. I lay in bed thinking of all that has happened since then.. I realize that this pain in my heart will not fade. This loneliness is constant. And this quietness is bitter cold.. I miss those hands that for soo long provided for us. I miss you and I miss how we were as a family! You made me the woman I am today and for that I'm grateful.. Papi please continue to watch over us. Please fill my heart with your love..

Querido hermano, la terrible noticia de tu partida, me tomo por asalto, se nublo por completo mi capacidad de entender, el indescriptible dolor no me permitia articular una idea coherente, de ahi que hasta hoy te escriba estas lineas.
Fuiste tan generoso de compartir con nosotros la felicidad de la llegada de Alfonso y Nathalie, tus adorados hijos, y desde entonces son lo mas cercano a mis propios hijos, vaya pues un abrazo fraterno en este momento de tanto dolor.
Noelia, mi querida Nelly, fuiste siempre mucho más que una cuñada, va un fuertisimo abrazo y un beso desde lo más profundo de mi corazon.
Hermano, tu forma de vivir la vida, tu entrega total sin regateos, quedan como un ejemplo que habremos de honrar.
Descansa en paz, en compañia de nuestra madre, y algun dia estaremos juntos de nueva cuenta.

Hasta siempre, hermano.

No se que decirte...; es una cosa tan natural la muerte y, sin embargo, nunca contamos con ella. Tu perdida deja un gran vacio, sobre todo en tu esposa e hijos con los que estamos con su  dolor y que entendamos que tu ya estas en el mejor lugar. EL CIELO.

THIRD CANDLE LIT IN YOUR MEMORY. YOU ARE GONE, BUT TRULY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Jose, as i arrived to work this morning. The front office has me fill out a blue form and on it, it asks the reason for being out so i have to put on it Death in family only if you knew how hard this is, i feel as if iam still in a nightmare. I just want to wake up and out of this nightmare. I called my sis this morning, she says she doing fine but i know she is not. I just want you to know that we alread miss you alot. I am going to keep those fond memories of you in my heart. Love and miss you brother in law.

Señor jose A. Lopez.
Nunca Tuve el placer de conoserlo personalmente. Solo quisiera decirle que tiene una familia maravillosa. Y el PONCHO es un gran amigo mio. Lo apresio y aqui estaremos para lo que se le ofresca a su familia.

My uncle he was the best, but when he died i was so sad i cried for 3 days. i wish i could hug him or tell him i love him one more time. and i don't want to make my dad mad but i love the cowboys a little bit. anyways i really miss him and i wish he was back here with my whole family.:(

Hace algunos dias nos dejo una de las personas mas admirables que he tenido la fortuna de conocer. El senior Jose Lopez no solo era mi tio, no solo fue un gran esposo, un maravilloso padre, un buen hijo y un fantastico hermano. Tambien fue excelente ser humano, de esos que ya casi no hay.

Don Jose fue (y estoy segura de que sigue siendo, en donde este) una de esas personas que tienen el valor de salir a vivir, de perseguir sus suenios, de arrancarle a la vida lo que desean. Vivio como quiso hacerlo, irreverente, eternamente revolucionario, en contra de lo que no le gustaba. Y lo mas importante de todo: Nunca perdio de vista lo que es realmente importante, pues en su esposa Noelia y en sus hijos, Nathalie y Alfonso, tuvo siempre la bendicion mas grande.

Esa clase de vida es la que yo celebro. Esa clase de hombre es la que yo recordare y llevare siempre en mi corazon, con un profundo agradecimiento por todas las charlas, las risas, la sabiduri­a, los consejos, por todas las veces que el poder Lopez se dejo sentir, sabiendo que somos una familia y estaremos presentes, sin importar la distancia.

A nombre de mi padre y mis ti­os puedo decir, sin lugar a dudas, que no hay amor mas puro que el familiar. Es por ello que afirmo que aqui­ estaremos, siempre muy dignos hermanos, sobrinos, primos y familiares de tan maravillosa persona.

Tio Jose, contigo se va una parte muy importante de la vida de todos aquellos que te conocimos y te amamos; pero tambien se queda una tonelada de recuerdos que estaran por siempre vivos. Con profundo amor y respeto te siento partir hoy, pero se que nunca nos dejaras. Gracias por ver crecer esta familia, gracias por habernos compartido tu existencia.

¡HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE, REVOLUCIONARIO DON JOSE!

dear tio  I love you so much you were the best tio that i could ever have.

Dear. Uncle Jose I miss you so much but I know that your with me so I don't feel so lonely I  love you so much I will never forget you <3

Dear Uncle Jose,
Even though your not with us right now. You will always be in my heart and my memory.You are heaven right now so I should not be sad.I LOVE U SO MUCH!!!!
                      Love,
                         Beautiful 
                              Bella

Jose,
Thank you for being a great role model and mentor to my children. I hope there is nothing but Dallas Cowboys games on in heaven. You will always be remembered.

Mr. Lopez, although I never got the chance to meet u, I can honestly say I'm fortunate to have a friend like Alfonso.. My condolences to him and the rest of your family. We never know when God makes his decision to take us with him but we do know you are now resting in peace in a better place and always will be in the hearts of your loved ones. Farewell Mr. Lopez R.I.P.

Tio Jose, 
Words cannot express how much we will miss you. You more than my tio you were a role model, a father figure someone I always admired and looked up too. We love you so much and I look forward until we can see you again.

Tio Jose, thank you for being such a great man. You were and still are a great part of us. We had many memories too; i remember when i was a little boy and you use to call me little pescado. Brings back tons of memories. Thank you for the opportunity to work as your helper for the little time i wasn't a juebon, only if i would of continued with it. Well too thank you for everything. You raised a very good family, love u Tio Jose; until then when we all reunite in heaven. Love you Tio Joe... Thank you...

Don Jose lo vamos a extranar mucho, voy a extranar ver con usted los partidos del cruz azul y por supuesto su rico pozole, ke dios me lo bendiga y me lo cuide mucho, no le digo adios si no hasta luego.....RIP

I miss you and love you so much Tio…  I ask and I know I shouldn't have to because you already have and will continue to visit Tristan.  I know you came by yesterday morning because Tristan was laughing so much in his sleep, I tried waking him up and all I could hear was your voice telling me to get dressed and that you were playing with your boy.   I will make you this promise, I promise that we will not leave Tia Nelly alone; she will be well taken care of as you would've wanted.  You raised some great children in Gordo and Nena, they will be strong for Tia Nelly and will provide for her as you did, you raised a great family Tio and taught them to come together in the good and bad times and to rise through it all.  Love you Uncle Joe and we will all see you soon!

I love you dad!!!! I will always miss you... thank for being a great dad and friend... you were my role model and I am grateful for all the things you taught me... thank you for always being there for me and picking me up when I was down... words can't express how much I miss you.... TE QUIERO MUCHO JEFE!!! "HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE.."

I LIGHT THIS CANDLE IN YOUR HONOR. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

My deepest sympathy to my sister Noelia, my nephew Alfonso, my niece Nathalie. All I have to say is that he was a big part in our lives, you will never be forgotten. We will cherish all of your memories, will miss your wonderful cooking, however we will still have the caldo de mariscos this friday. May god bless, and look over all of us.

Papi, I love you!! No words will ever be sufficient to express my thanks for all the wonderful blessings you provided our family with. Your presence will forever be missed and felt. I know you are watching over us and especially over Pikin. I love you Papi!
