Oscar, I still remember your sweet smile and sweet disposition.  Your eyes would light up when I would visit you - you always seemed so glad to see me.  I will always remember you.  May you continue to experience the peace and love of your Savior.  
                Love, Virginia

A Letter to Heaven
Dear Daddy,
It has been a year since you walked on this earth.  This Sunday will have been your 63rd wedding anniversary.  How time flew by.  I know you try to communicate with Dora with your fire trucks that  you like.  I too try to remember your day when you departed this earth to enter into the kingdom of heaven with a candle.  Keep us all in your prayers to the Virgin that you so loved and Jesus Christ, God's only son.  Keep us safe from harm and keep busy in heaven.  This will be the last entry so I want you to deliver this letter to heaven.  Keep praying for your entire family and for our health and safety.  That we all come and worship the Lord Almighty with humility and with all our hearts.  That we may also be delivered into God's hands to rest by him in his eternal and forgiving love.  I love you daddy.

A Letter to Heaven

Dear Daddy,

It has been almost a year since you walked on this earth. There are people who believe that when we are gone

Daddy,  I know It has been a month now but I still miss you.  Everywhere I go there are things that remind me of you.  The whole family quietly misses you and we all feel a void within.  We visit you in your graveside and leave you flowers to enjoy because of the avid gardner you once were.  We know how much love you had for gardening.  Sometimes I stop and wonder, what is daddy doing today?  I know that you are kept very busy learning new things and worshipping God.  Above all, remember us too and pray for all of us that we may enter the portals of heaven and worship together in paradise.    Your loving daughter.

To Oscar, the brother who found me when I was lost in a Brownsville store when I was 6 years old!  My mother was frantic because she had lost me!  Me and my mother always remembered this.

You always had a smile on your face and were very easy-going.  I know you are now at peace and are looking over all of us who knew and loved you.  Love, Virginia

DADDY I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH BUT I KNOW NOW GOD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU.
I HAVE RECEIVED THE THREE "GIFTS"
OR MESSAGES YOU HAVE SENT ME FROM HEAVEN.

2)  Next day I found a BRAND NEW SHINY QUARTER .
3) Next Day I FOUND A VERY OLD PENNY FROM THE 1940"s

To brother Oscar, I'm going to miss you. You were always very sweet and humble. Yet, very strong!! It as was an honored to have had you as a brother. 
You're now at a better place. You have reached the mountain top. Farewell until we meet again. Love, Your little brother, Speedy............

My father was someone who was a kind and gentle soul.  He loved life and good food.  Even though my father was  quiet, he had a presence.  I am honored and at peace that I was with him until the very end.  Daddy, you no longer are lost inside your own mind, wondering who we were and why we were all beside you, holding your hand.  I know you loved us and will continue loving us in heaven.  Until we see you next time.

My Grandpa was someone who was always full of joy. He was proud to have served in the Air Force and later serving as a fireman for the Brownsville Fire Dept. for 31 years. He loved being a fireman and helping others in need. He was devoted to his faith and his family. I will miss you so much, our treasure hunting walks, your arts and crafts, your jokes and your laugh. I'll always love you Abuelito.
