 Even though we weren't really close i still remember and love you tio and will always remember you.

I would just like to say to my family members who were not around back in the days when my brother manuel and i were around eachother before i was married and was a young teenager growing up i learned alot from him he gave me advise and i always kept it to myself and when he moved away i had nobody to talk to like my big brother manuel don't misunderstand me i had more brothers and i loved them all but they were all different and we had our own relationships with eachother but my relationship with manuel was different because we were alike in alot of ways in how we thought, things we liked like music, food and even places we'd like to go even as we grew older we looked more and more like eachother. I remember the last time he came to azusa he and i were sitting in the back patio at my house and my grandaughter rebecca came next to us and leaned against manuel thinking it was me and called him grandpa we both looked at eachother and atarted laughing and he looked at me and said "Danny we must really look like eachother"  I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BROTHER AND HE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART.....

I memeber u would b like "alright frank TOP THAT BABY" haha dam still has me rollin.. another good memory i have is when we went to the casinos me you nd grandma.. i was 19 so they wouldnt let me gamble but i still was hittn the slots i didnt care nd that old dude kept following me around finally he caught me. u started laughing because i told that dude if he touched me i was going to knock him out haha he calld security on me nd i ran out hahah dam papa so many good times.. u wer one of my best friends i love you. i hold you in my heart nd i kno ull b watchn over me with my brother helpin me get threw the hard times. cheers papa..

You will remain in my heart always..My sympathy and hugs go out to my Nina Rosie and all of my cousins..

My Brother, Whom I loved very much and always looked up to, How very smart you were and always used so much wisdom.  I thank God for being so kind to you and blessing you with so much.   I will miss you until we meet again up in Heaven.          Your Baby Sister,       Patsy Garcia

To Arlene, Rosie and family, My thoughts & prayers are with your family as you prepare to lay your father & husband to rest. Manuel was a very kind and gentle man. I always enjoyed talking with Manuel when I'd stop by for a visit. No matter what was going on Manuel always made me feel welcome in your home. He even had my back a few times, remember Arlene. He will be missed by so many. May his love for you live forever in your hearts and comfort you in times of sadness. Please know that I'm here for you today and always

Papa I love u so much n I kno u will always watch over me I have so many memories and  so little space to tell 'em all. you are the most amazingest man  that anybody could ever have in there life as a brother son dad father or simply a grandpa. you raise me my whole life and protect me from all the bad thing and at the same time made apart of a good smart person I am today. it's hard to let you go I don't want to but I know ur in a better place. I know ur not really gone cuz ur in my heart its not a goodby its more like ill c u again. By the way grandpz ur comicz had me rollin lol

We sat beside your bedside Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our best to the end til we could do no more.In tears we watched you sinking.We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking We new you could not stay.You left behind some aching hearts that LOVED you most Sincere; We never shall and never will Forget you Father dear.
