Hi Tatay!
I hope you enjoyed watching us at your service. I also hope you enjoyed the eulogies we wrote for you I left you a copy of it in the keepsake box!. Just remember that even though you’ll catch us at times crying or a little depressed thinking about your passing, remember that we’ll always be happy, grateful, and finding the strength to celebrate the legacy you’ve left behind.
And like I always say to you when you were in the hospital and recovering at home: get some rest and I’ll see you later. Thanks Tatay!
Love,
Your Youngest
Esmenia and family,
Our prayers are with each of you at this time and always!
Love, Laurie and Michaela
