"Estoy contristada con la pérdida de su ser querido, bien sabemos que la muerte es algo que sucede día a día, pero hay una bella esperanza que nos traerá cierto nivel de paz. Por tal razón quería compartir con usted algunas palabras de consolación que le ayudaran en estos momentos difíciles, tal como me ayudaron a mí. Estas palabras se encuentran en la Biblia, si tiene Biblia le invito a que lea Hechos 24:15, Revelación 21:3, 4, Juan 5: 28,29, ahí notara que dichos textos hablan de la bella esperanza de la resurrección, solo podemos imaginar la alegría de volver abrazar a nuestro ser querido que ha fallecido. Para aprender de estas promesas solo hay que seguir el consejo de Juan 17:3. Con dicho pensamiento en mente le invito a que visite el siguiente enlace, http/www.JW.org/es/publicaciones/libros/tratado-muertos-volver-a-vivir/ Ahí encontrara un artículo que habla más al respecto."

"I'm gonna miss you Papito. You were a huge part of my life and I will never forget that. I appreciate the little memories you've given me. I remember the times you'd give me the little 35 cent packs of gum whenever I did good in school. When we'd walk to the lake by your house to feed the ducks. I remember when we'd sing Flor sin retoño by Pedro Infantes. You'd always make me smile, even when you were mocking/bugging me. You used to mock everything I'd say in an irritating high pitched voice and then do that weird laugh you always did but I loved every minute of it. You always made me happy whenever I was down and you supported me through everything. You're a great man and an amazing great grandfather. I held your hand through your last breath and I know you're always holding mine. I love you forever and always Papito. Semper sera tu Morenita. Love, Tiana Elisa Mantillaâ?¡"

"Papa I love you, i miss you, I will always remember all the days we spent together specially the weekends when you went with me to watch me play. Specially the days of juvenile platense and the Ecuador select team here in New York. I remember you never missed a game with me and I made you proud of me being so young and playing at a top level. We went everywhere together. I will miss your crazy jokes among our soccer friends. You will remain in my heart forever and I am who I am today because of you. Today I have followed your foot steps in a coaching career and love the game the way you did putting personal time to help children develop in this sport . Love you Always "

"So many memories that I don't even know where to start. You was a real strong man that molded a path for lots of people in Long Island, opened lots of doors for soccer players. The OG of flushing park, with the best and baddest soccer teams around. Skill levels off the chart do to your coaching skills. I thank you and your sons for always taking me along. Always kept family together and always gave advise. I know you will continue to do so from your new palace in the sky. Where will this family be without you, no one will never know, thanks to your hard work and dedication. Ups, downs, good times and bad times, no matter what you kept us positive. I will miss you Papito, please tell my grandmother Georgina that I love her and miss her so much. Both my grandfathers in heaven chillin. We shall all meet again and become one once again. Family never dies. "

""Papito quien soy yo Huesito papito quien soy yo Estephania" Words can't explain how I felt when you saw me and recognized who I was I didn't have to tell you that I was one of your granddaughters because you knew and remembered me and I thank god for that happy feeling and moments. I'm gonna miss you for ever Papito especially when I make my way to Florida I was always so happy that I got the chance to see you every Florida trip I made and got the chance to spend time with you, see you, laugh with you, joke with you, walk you outside in your little wheelchair that mamita kept bumping you into walls with "jode este viejo de *#%?*" laugh at the way mamita use to talk to you, laugh with you while you made mamita mad and roll her eyes at you. Papito I heard you fought to the end And that's how I remember you as a fighter, a strong man with a lot of strength you would shake Jaydens hand and squeeze it til you made him say "ouch he is strong mommy" you made him not wanna shake your hand again I thank god that my son had the chance to meet you and spend some time with you. The strength you had when your legs would hurt you you would still be on the dance floor dancing with your daughters/ granddaughters or even by yourself. Missing you Papito and will always miss you "bye Paptio te veo mañana y portarte bien con las enfermeras" xoxox rest in paradise."

"Papito lindo, Don Jorgito el que camina despacito, Don Tuco, aka Papito "El Rey" Jorge, The memories you leave behind are amazing. Your kids, your grandkids, great grandkids, family, and friends will always speak grand of you. You were a a great man in all and were hilarious!! You were never one to tell us you loved us until the end but we always new you did because you always had all of our baby pictures in your wallet and would always show them to us Keeping Us Close To You Always. My memories of you: every birthday you would give us a dollar for every year we aged, always a half of a stick of gum, mini pencils sharpened to the eraser, you made jokes about everything, I remember your woopie cushion(embarrassing mamita), you would steal our kids balls and toys(Mamita found them), if someone asked you, "quien soy yo? You said, "tin marin de dos pingue", you knew that Mamita couldn't hear well so you would mouth things to her and make her think you were saying something to her to drive her crazy, you drove her crazy all the time but that woman always did everything for you until your last breath. You were loved by many and will never be forgotten. Even until the day before you passed you were still making jokes and remembered my dad as Don francisco, you knew who we all were. Guesito, oscurita, mi morenita, etc. You were the strongest man I knew. You have more lives then a cat grandpa :). You made sure to wait for all of you kids to get here and still fought. Rest in peace viejito lindo. You are our guardian angel now so watch over Mamita and all of us. "

"My Viejito lindo, Words can not begin to explain how much I am going to miss you. I know now you are in a better place with Our Savior Jesus Christ. You will always be our king and we thank you for all the values you have engraved in us. You are the bond that will always keep our family together. Your personalty, humor and laughter were my favorite things about you. You would always make jokes that would always make me laugh. Even in your sick days you were humorous and smiling. I will miss our favorite saying to each other, "Me: Yo te quiero mucho! You: Yo tambien!" Tu eres mi viejito lindo and siempre lo seras. As the bible says: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, because their lives continue to touch and change and bless people, even long after they are gone" This is you and you will always be the head of this family even in heaven. I am blessed that my husband Derek was a big a part of your life and that Mya and Derek got to bond with you. Te queiro con todo mi corazon. De tu Oscurita"
