Tio,
Words can’t even begin to describe the heartache our family is going through since your passing. I still find it hard to understand why God allowed this to happen to one of the GREATEST individuals that ever lived! But I pray that in time, He allows us to find room in our hearts understanding that you’re in a much better place (Heaven) and no longer suffering.
You had a heart of GOLD Tio, and NO ONE will ever compare to you…NO ONE! Since your passing, every minute of every hour of the day is consumed with thoughts of your kindness, loving and giving self. I am SO GRATEFUL that you were in my life Tio! And I’m also BLESSED beyond words for everything you’ve done for myself and my daughter Bianca, as well as our entire family! Please know that the conversation we had about the Holy Rosary still continues every single day for you, and it will NOT stop!
WE WILL GREATLY MISS YOU TIO!! You’re in the BEST hands ever now…God’s hands!! Heaven is a much more MAGNIFICENT place with your beautiful and loving spirit up there!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TIO!
Please say HI and give our LOVE to Nana & Tata for us!
