I have so many wonderful memories of my Tio that will stay with me forever. From the time I was a child, I always felt welcome in his home and was treated like a daughter. I loved sleeping over to play with my cousin Monica, and there was even a time I lived there so I could attend a better school district. We had so much fun growing-up going camping, riding the boat, and playing in the backyard and out front. In our teenager years, he patiently put up with us going out to parties, coming home late, and bringing friends and boyfriends over. His house was always the fun house, full of laughter, warmth, and food for everyone. I will miss his funny, witty expressions and his big heart, always ready to help. Thank you, Tio. Te amo siempre.
