Querido Hermano, 
Te nos adelantastes en este viaje. 
Dichoso tu, que estas en el reino de dios. El Senor te eligio a ti, a un siervo de el para que trabajaras con todas las personas que necesitaban de tu alluda, y lo lograste. 
Mira, como dios te dijo, hicistes un buen trabajo. 

Es tiempo que vengas a mi reino de aqui miraras todo el esfuerzo y trabajo que has hecho. Por eso y por todo estoy muy orgullosa de ti, Hermano. Espero estar en ese viaje contigo cuando me llegue el dia. 

Te extrano mucho pero siempre estaras en mi corazon. 

-Con mucho amor, 

De tu hermana mayor, Lety! 


Dearest Brother,

You were taken from us far too soon, and for that I will never forgive the universe.  However, I take comfort in the wonderful memories we shared together.  Some of my favorite memories include going to McDonald’s on Sunday’s, making up food recipes and watching SNL on Saturday nights, even though you always had to explain the humor to me. . . Lol.  Although we did not see each other enough, I never doubted your love for me and that you would be there in a heartbeat if I needed you.   I hope you know how much I loved you and how proud I was of your remarkable recovery.  You changed the lives of so many for the better with your thoughtful and caring ways.  Through them you will live forever.  I will miss you and carry you in my heart for eternity.  Rest in heaven.  Love, your baby sis, 

Maribel



Querido hijo Rigo,

Estoy muy orgullosa de todo lo que lograste en tus últimos años. Cambiaste tu vida para lo mejor y cambiaste las vidas de los demás. Aunque estoy muy triste le doy mil gracias a dios nuestro señor por todos los momentos que convivimos  juntos.  Que dios nuestro señor te conceda el descanso eterno. Te quiero mucho y vivirás en mi corazón eternamente. 

~ Jesus, tu espíritu renueva la faz de la tierra y llena el universo, permite esta renovación en la profundidad de mi corazón para que tu puedas encontrar siempre en el y en mis labios una oración que te agrade ~


The only comfort we can find in all this is knowing you're in Heaven helping God save lives like you did here on Earth. I remember spending the night at your house when I was younger because Crystal & I would always hang out & u were so much fun! U would play with us outside & teach me & crystal how to play sports. U made us laugh so much & u were always "the fun uncle." Even during your difficult times, u tried so hard to never show it. But seeing you turn everything around was truly inspiring. The last time I saw u, u told me "u are beautiful mija. I'm so proud of u" but in reality, l was so proud of YOU 💖. Rigo Jr. & I became close these past years & everywhere we went, he would always talk about u. I could tell how happy he was to have his Dad back. A couple days before u passed, u sent me an angel emoji 😇 after we texted about your condition. I took it as a sign from God that u were letting me know He was calling you to come home ✝️

My pops was my biggest fan and influencer. I'll always remember calling u right after the dodgers won the world series and we both started crying talking about how anything is possible and that we are champions now and that it is our turn as a family to be champions in life. I still remember when you had finally seen me after years at the outback steakhouse for ur bday dinner and u jumped up and grabbed me and hugged me so tight and started crying. I can't wait to feel that again pops, when I come home to you. To the man who taught me to never back down when a challenge arises. To the man we all cherished and adored, Thank you for everything papa. We love you so much. May he live through all of us and may we all carry a piece of his heart with us with ever small gesture or move we make in our life. I'm grateful for all the times God gave us with you. & yet the hardest part is saying goodbye & I don't wanna say goodbye pops, so see you later, hold the gates for us until it is our time to come home with you. Like u told me once "tough times don't last, tough people do". Give me the strength that God gave u and I shall do right by you. We will miss you so much, we love you pops and God bless us all. 


I, will Forever Love, You and you for Always will live in my Heart ♥️.You will always be my Little Brother who Accomplished Big Things. No matter what you set in your mind you went after it!

Uncle Rigo you overcame impossible odds. I always admired your determination, strength, hope,  faith and love for your family and others. You never gave up and in turn you were able to help soo many people turn their lives around for the better.  My heart is heavy with your passing, I'm still in disbelief. You will be greatly missed by soo many. But your spirit and love will always live in all of us. We will always remember the laughter you brought to us all and the positive energy you radiated and glowed with.

As far as I can remember, my God Father Rigo, always looked over me like my guardian angel and very proud to say that he continues to be my Hero & Role model. He has shown us the strength in his Faith and that everything is possible in Gods name by turning his life around and making and incredible comeback.
My Nino was the first to teach me a lot of life’s lessons growing up. He taught me to toughen up, face my fears, lick my wounds when hurt, to always keep a clean appearance, and to always respect myself and others. 
He always put me first, he looked over me and took really good care of me. 
Growing up, we were inseparable, we wrestled, boxed, played football, basketball, and baseball.
We constantly joked around and found humor in everything. He would constantly motivate me with his words and pump me up by telling me I was going to be awesome at whatever I did in life. 
I have so many golden memories of the times we spent together growing up, too many to list, I am very fortunate and thankful to God for sharing Rigo with me here on earth and can’t wait to see him when the time comes, 
up In heaven...
Miss You & Love You Tio!
Your Nephew/ God Son,
Frankie 

Rigo was an awesome Dad, Brother, Uncle, Son, cousin, Friend. And husband He was Loved by everyone he would bring joy and laughter with all his jokes.
Even though we were apart I always was in touch with him asking him if he needed something, telling him how proud I was of what he was doing. Telling him not to worry that we were good.  I would make plans for our family to get together with him more often.  This past year we celebrated his birthday, valentines, Easter, Halloween, he was so happy he got to cut the turkey and give the blessing.  He had an amazing year he felt his family getting so close to him, just what I wanted him to feel.  He loved his family he loved his kids
And grandkids.  He made me feel so proud of him for everything he was doing.  I know it’s not going to be easy but he would want me to be well and strong he always told me that.  Our last phone call one day before he passed I would keep in my heart for ever, was he told me stay strong kitty I love you, I felt like  my heart was pulled out of my chest and had to hold my cry and told him I know you will get better soon and I love you to.  He will always live in my heart.  My high school sweetheart ( my ET) 

My brother Rigo had a Very though life but he found God through his sobriatity. His past 8 years & a half he dedicated himself to help other men by his testimony & how God gave him his life back to help others🙏 Every time we used to go visit him & take him out for lunch or dinner, he used to receive so many phone calls of all the men he sponsored through their though times 🙏 he was the most compassionate, humble, loving & thankful person you could imagine ❤️ That’s why God had a plan for him & his time came to be with God in Heaven 🙏😞✝️ Rest In Peace my little Angel☮️😇😘
