My Pop! My heart was shattered the day you were taken from us on July 25, 2018. They try to convince me that God has his reasons for taking you so quickly after being diagnosed with the evil Cancer, but it still did not make it easier to let you go. Of course we did not want you to suffer in pain, so we made your last days memorable and joyful with a house full of family and friends to celebrate your 80th Birthday that I am so Greatful for that precious time. Pop, I have so much to be thankful for, because of you and mom, we had the" riches" childhood anyone could ask for. I don't mean money nor material things. Having six children and little money, the both of you made it possible for us to always have birthday celebrations with our huge families in Escondido and San Pedro with a backyard full of cousins. So many memories of trips in our camper and riding in our favorite blue Cheve wagon. We thought we were so cool riding in the back row looking out to the cars behind us, they don't make wagons like that any more," those were the good old days". Grandma and Grandpa taught you the importance of family and you continued the tradition with us which I have always treasured and will continue in your memory.

Love You And Miss You So Much.
