My grandfather cannot be described in words. His loving, caring, unselfish, and humble self helped me through life and set such an amazing example for me and i know for many others as well. Hearing this news has hurt me more than words could ever describe. He never wanted to see the family hurt, worried or saddened; always made sure we were ok before he himself was. “Hi Vavô, everything ok?” he would always reply “Ya ya everything is ok”. Never thought twice when it came to his family and loved ones, he always was there for them and always put their needs in front of his own. He loved every single person in his family and circle and made sure that they were aware. I will never forget the moments we shared and i will never forget the smile he put on my face everyday when i spoke with him. I miss him already as it was just the other day i was talking with him, i will miss the laughs, the smiles and the tears but i know he will never, ever be gone and i know he will always be watching me from up above, cheering me on through life, supporting me when i’m down, and celebrating my success. He will always be right by my side and i’m sure of it. He is in peace now and is in a better place where God will care and love him. May you walk up to heaven on those beautiful white stairs and know that i will make you proud. May you truly rest in peace vavô. I love you forever.
Our deepest condolences, he is going to be truly missed.
My dear uncle,
Thank you so much for all the affection and love you showed me as a child. All of my fondest memories of you are of you taking me places, getting me out. Car rides, parks, McDonald's. I know I wasn't an easy child, but it never stopped you from giving me your time and you never made me feel bad for being a mischievous boy and you always, always made me feel safe.
You have given me so much over the years, but of all the things you have given me, my most cherished gift from you was your time. You will never be forgotten.
May you rest in peace.
Your loving nephew,
Steven
Meu querido tio,
Muito obrigado por todo o carinho e amor que você me mostrou quando criança. Todas as minhas melhores lembranças de você são de você me levando a lugares. Passeios de carro, parques, McDonald's. Eu sei que não era uma criança fácil, mas isso nunca o impediu de me dar seu tempo e você nunca me fez sentir mal por ser um garoto travesso e você sempre me fez sentir seguro.
Você me deu muito ao longo dos anos, mas, de todas as coisas que me deu, meu presente mais querido de você foi o seu tempo. Você nunca será esquecido.
Que você descanse em paz.
Seu sobrinho amoroso
Steven
My sincerest condolences to the Carreiro family. May he rest in peace. God bless.
