Abuelo, You will forever hold the most special place in my heart. You have always been there for me and I know that where ever life takes me, you will be standing right beside me. Every since I was a little girl I looked up to you, I've looked up to your love for not only our family, but your wife, my grandmother, and the most incredible woman in the world. I thank God everyday for blessing me with knowing you and having you to shape me into the woman I am today. You have instilled values in me that I will carry with me forever. Your hard work, devotion and love will always guide me. I know one day we will be reunited in gods arms. And by knowing that I can find comfort in these circumstances. I will always remember our trips, our life talks in the garage, running to tell you something exciting, and the unconditional love you have always showed me since day one. I love you abuelo, with all of my heart. You will ALWAYS be my number one man. Te Amo, your baby girl, your princess, you little angel, Cyn
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To our Uncle, you will always be in our hearts and memories. To my Aunt and Cousins, words can not express our sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Tio Meno, I have so many fond memories of you from the time I was a little girl until now that I will always cherish. Our families were always together and a strong bond was formed that would last a lifetime. I remember all the good times from growing up at the Benefica and the baseball fields, the always exciting family get togethers, the special times from living in your home in Gary and when I moved to Florida, and the happy memories throughout the years. We always had so much fun and you always had us laughing with your jokes or one of your wise cracks, and no matter what kind of day I was having, you always knew how to put a smile on my face. You have always been there for your family and are so loved by all. I Love you so much and will truly miss you, but I know you are no longer hurting and are in a better place surrounded by all those that love you. God Bless You Tio Meno, Love You Always, Margie, Berto & Cristian Viera
