Patricia Cabeza
Hello all My Name is Patricia Cabeza Morales I am Gustavo’s Sister inlaw,
Today I am here to speak of our beloved brother Gustavo Alfonso Morales Rivera, a devoted Son, brother, nephew and Uncle.
I must be honest I am mixed with emotions but most of all in disbelief. Disbelief that our Beloved Tavito as I would call him is no longer in the Physical world.
I still remember him when he was maybe 10 years old or younger and he was with his older sister Jessica at Catechism study preparing to do his first communion. He was so small and shy. Small world I ended up meeting his older brother in school and well long story short we are now together with 3 beautiful girls. I can describe so many memories with Gustavo from family gatherings, holidays and family trips and so much more. But another of my favorite memories of him was his love for music. He would always wear his ear phones and always bopping his head to a beat. He would come home from school and get on the computer and just start listening to his rap and different types of music. He would make mixes and burn some CDs. I believe I may still have a CD or two of his that he burned for me back in the day. I remember sharing the same admiration as he did for one of our favorite groups called Bone thugs in Harmony. He enjoyed the lyrics and the way Bizzy Bone would rap the lyrics so fast yet the music just had a great flow. Music definitely spoke to Gustavo's soul. I remember another occasion when we were on a walk down B street in Down Town San Mateo, it was him, me his older brother Martin and we were taking our oldest daughter Perla for a walk who was maybe 1 years old at the time and as we were walking we noticed an older woman trying to cross the street in a wheel chair he reached out to his brother to go help the elder woman cross the street. Gustavo was shy but very willing to help others. With security I can say Gustavo was a son of God thanks to his upbringing but also because of the way he would see life around him.I can confirm that Gustavo came from a devoted loving family. I am sure a lot of you could agree.
There are no words to express this loss for me let alone his family, His Mother, his Father, his siblings, his nieces and nephews.
I would like to share these words directly to Gustavo’s parents my inlaws:
I have grown into a better mother not just through my own journey but by watching the way you love and care for your family. Your devotion to your children, your grandchildren is something truly special and I can honestly say Gustavo is blessed to have you as parents. I know there is nothing I can say that will ease your pain, but please know you are not alone and to you Mariaelena a mother to another mother “ donde llora una Madre lloramos todas” el amor de padre es uno pero el amor de Madre es realmente una devoción que usted Mariaelena lo ha mostrado con su hijo Gustavo es algo que es de verdad una admiración ejemplar. Y sé que él está muy orgulloso de tenerlos como padres a los dos. Su hijo ahora estará cuidándolos desde el cielo así como ustedes cuidaron tanto de él.
Gustavo no es un ADIÓS sino un HASTA LUEGO!
Crossroads: God bless you working a plan to Heaven
Follow the lord all 24/7 days
God is who we praise
Even though the devils all up in my face
But he is keeping me safe and in my place, say grace
For the case to race with a chance to face the judge
And I betcha my soul won’t budge
Grudge because there's no mercy for some
Oh what can I do, It’s all about family and how we roll
Can i get a witness, Let it unfold
We living our lives to eternal soul
and we pray and we pray and we pray, everyday, everyday, everyday
Romans 6:20-23,
23- For the wages of sins is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
