My brother Ramon was a joy. He and I spent a lot of time talking on the phone. We would talk, laugh and listen. Brother you will be terribly missed. I think of you everyday. I’m so glad you kept your promise to visit me in San Diego in July. Thank you Susan and family for driving out to see us. Love your Sis and family, Jim and Virginia

Dad , I am going to miss you more than I can express. I will miss leaving to work and you are there opening the door for me telling me to have a good day and let me know if traffic is bad. Then when come home you had the door unlocked or open for me. I will miss building things with you. Your experience helped helped things go smoothly. You made me the man I am today. Your work ethic was second to none. We found a award you got from work for 17 years perfect attendance. I try to work as hard as you when at work and be as helpful as you are to everyone. You were the family plumber ,electrician, mover, handy man. You helped so many people and touched everyone’s heart. You were the best tata to Danielle and Nikki. I love and miss you so much my heart literally hurts. Thank you for everything Dad. I never met a greater Dad, Tata, or man than you. Love you so much.

Mr. Medina was always kind, thoughtful and funny. He always smiled and made everyone feel so happy! The Medina family’s loss is a gain in heaven. He will be singing and dancing and praising Jesus. My condolences to all the Medina family.

Tio Ramon was a wonderful man. He had such charisma. There wasn’t anyone who met him that didn’t like him. Not everyone has that gift. And he was good looking with an infectious smile. You felt good just being around him. He was there for you if you needed him and later in age, if he was able to, he would help you out or find someone who could. He will be missed. We could all strive to be more like him. He was a good example of how we should treat one another and hold family close. Having lost 3 very close family members of my own, I know that our loved ones who have gone to the other side are still with us and watch over us. I know… Because Love is a very strong emotion and never dies. Be at Peace Familia. He will always be a part of your lives, Now and Forever.
Love The Grace and Ayon Family
