You were the father I never had, but you stepped in without hesitation. There aren't words to describe how grateful I am to have been raised and loved by you. You accepted Alysha with open arms and made her part of the family. We wish you could have been here for the birth of our daughter. Though you are gone, your impact will be felt for generations and our soon to be born daughter will grow up knowing how amazing her Great Grandfather was. We know you were suffering near the end, but now you can rest peacfully in paradise. You will live forever in our hearts. Thank you for everything. We Love You.
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Saying good bye to you is impossible. I cannot bring myself to imagine a life without you here. But I know that you are finally resting in God's loving embrace. Your suffering is over, but the pain of your absence still remains. I know everyone say it gets easier in time, no time will ever fix the emptiness we feel. Mom and I will find a way to move forward without your physical being knowing that you will be with us always in spirit. I was blessed to have you for my Father, and the Papa who guided his Grandson as he grew up. I'll never be able to thank you for how you helped me with Daniel. I didn't have to ask, you were always there, and always ready to lend a hand to ensure that Daniel had what he needed. I could not have done it without you. I could go on and on about how great you were. But I wish I had told you all this more often, when you were alive. I didn't say it enough, I LOVE YOU DADDY. I pray that you knew how much I respected and cared for you. I know I am not as eloquent as Daniel. I wrote what was in my heart. I will never forget you and will take comfort in the thought of being reunited with you again someday in the after life. Rest in Peace Paizinho
I'm writing this on behalf of my mother. My mom is inconsolable. She has lost the man she chose to love for most of her life. They grew up together, married and had a daughter, me. My mom also needs our prayers to help mend her shattered heart. I write these word to my Father on her behalf.
Rest now, receive God's eternal peace, for you deserve it. You were a wonderful husband, provider, companion, father, grandfather and soon to be great grandfather. You've left me alone, and I don't know how to continue without you. Everything reminds me of you. 52 years of marriage went by in a blink of an eye and there was still too much to be done by us together. This is God's will, and we will be together again someday. But until then, give me the strength to keep going and I will do my best to live for both of us. I love you, you will always be my love and you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Papa
Although we did not have the opportunities to have many conversations I have the utmost respect for Manuel. He was a loyal husband to Lucia and worked hard to provide for his family. Along with his own daughter Carla, Manuel helped raise his grandson Daniel (my son in law) like his own son and it is clear both Carla and Daniel have inherited his same strong virtues. Manuel was very proud of his family and it is clear they were also very proud to call him, husband, dad, and grandfather. Manuel’s support has provided Daniel and my daughter Alysha a start in life that I could never provide and for that I will be forever grateful. I only wish he remained here long enough to meet his great granddaughter. I guess however that God had other plans and wanted to have another angel in place to watch over my granddaughter who will soon join us and connect our families together forever.
My sincere condolences to Lucia, Carla, Daniel and Alysha. I wish I was closer to help support you though these tough times but hope to see you all soon during happier times.
My condolences 💐
