Hi Daddy,
It has been a while since i last came on here. I have felt you by my side lately. As you know my life was falling a part there for a while. I think i'm getting it back on the right track now.
Well to start if off i lost my job in March. Then has surgery a few days later. Thank God everything came out. Then Lizi had surgery. She was okay from that. But a week later became ill. She was admitted to the hospital. Still don't really know what was wrong with her except some type of infection. While Lizi was in the hospital, Jeni was in the same hospital in the emergancy room with pain in her tummy. She was then admitted to another hospital for surgery. By this time i was terrible exhausted. Well in the mean time Lizi is still sick with her pain in her tummy. Many trips to the hospital for that. She was then given more meds which she ended up allergic to. So again here we go back to the hospital. She is doing better, still has stomach problems once in a while. Well during all that i wrecked my car. It was pretty bad. I did not get injured other than buises and pain in my chest due to the seat belt. Everyone said i should not have made it out alive and surprized that i only had a few bruises. Thank God I'm still here to take care of my family. I guess it was not my time to go be with you yet. Well things are getting better,(new job, new car, everyone healthy). I have such a wonderful husband and children, also Daliah and Bella (the family dogs), they have all been by my side helping me cope with all this stress. I know that you have been sitting right by me also to help me thru this process of healing. Thank you. I has been a couple of really hard months. But i think everything will be back to normal soon.
Daddy, i really miss you. I love you so much. I wish you were here with me in person.
I promise i will get on here more often now. Thanks for everything you have taught us.
I love you Daddy,
Cammy

Hi Daddy,
Yesterday was a very sad day. Another officer has joined you in heaven. Officer James Manor from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department was killed last week. He was involved in a car accident while responding to a domestic violence call. He was 28 years old and was the single parent of an eight year old daughter. Daddy, I watched as the officer was laid to rest yesterday and the memorial and ceremony was beautiful. His family is so wonderful! I remember your equally beautiful and dignified memorial and ceremony like it was yesterday. It hurts my heart so much to see another officer killed in the line of duty. I love you so much and miss you. Please welcome Officer Manor to heaven.
I love you always Daddy,
Bertita

Hi Dad... I didn't forget you on your birthday. I keep trying to sit down and write to you, it's just so hard because I miss you so much! Happy Birthday (even though it's 2 days late) but if I got anything from you, I celebrate my birthday for at least a month. Please ask God to keep watch over officer Joe Sotelo, a really good friend of mine and his wife during this trying time. He is suffering so much. Please God help him back to health so that he can care for his family. I love you papa.
Con todo carino,
tu Weda.

Hi Daddy,
Merry Christmas! Dan and I just spent a wonderful few days with Blanca and her family. they drove to Las Vegas and we were so happy to spend this time with them. We won't be able to go home this holiday, but we will keep everyone in our hearts and minds throughout the holiday season. Mom, Terri and Tia Cha came to Las Vegas in November and we had a great time. It was great to finally get Terri over here. Daddy, please know that you are always in my heart and every day are on my mind. Dina already posted your song, so I won't do it again. Please give Jellybean and big Christmas kiss and hug from her Nana and Papa. I love you very much and I miss you even more!

Hi Daddy...it's been a long time since I've visited you here, but you are never away from my mind or my heart. Mom and I will be spending Christmas with Jeffrey, Berna and the kids this year...they have a new house and Berna so loves to cook, so we are grateful for that. My sons are both doing good. They have each been blessed with beautiful women to care for them and love them. My grandkids are all wonderful... getting ready for Christmas. It's nice to see Christmas through the eyes of the little ones. I miss you so very much! We all do. I will keep an eye on Mima for you, she's always running all over the place, helping everyone out. She truly is a blessing to us all. Thank you for picking such a wonderful Mother for us.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas... say hi to all our loved ones. Big Tight Hug to our Baby Jelly Bean.
Con todo Carino,
Terrie

Hi Daddy,
Me again. I'm sure you know that we are expecting another Grandbaby. My only wish is that he/she be as happy and healty as the one that was named for you. Ayden Edward.
I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries today with what I've come to consider Berta's job.
I just can't get into the Christmas spirit without hearing your song.
I hear your voice singing it to all of us anytime I hear it.

Here is your song Daddy!

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Kiss our Jellybean.
We love you!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Daddy - funny how sometimes you realize what a small world this is. A few days ago, I met an officer from the Cincinnati Police Department Internal Invenstigations Unit, when I handed him a St. Mike and a "get out of jail free card". Sgt. John Cordova, it turns out is from Gallup, NM, where he served as a New Mexico State Police Officer many years ago. He retired and moved to Ohio and is now with Cincy PD.

Officer Cordova was a "brand new" New Mexico State Police officer in March of 1970, and just barely 21. His very first run, with is training officer, was a respose call to a shots fired, officer down dispatch - although he was just a trainee - he was one of the officers that responded when you were injured. When I handed him the St. Mike - it brought tears to his eyes and we talked for an hour about you. He said that because of you, he has dedicated his life to the protection of others. He said you have always been his hero even though he never met you.

Even before he read your name on the card, when I told him that my father was a NM State Liquor Inspector killed in the line of duty, he knew your name. You left a marked impression on this man's life, as you have with everyone who ever met you and loved you.

I speak of you with pride everytime I hand out a St. Mike. You are to me, as to Sgt. Cordova, my hero.

I Love you,
Margie

Grampa,
Hello, It's Nay. I just wanted to thank you Grampa, for watching over my mom these past few days. I know you were there with her in the hopsital and through her surgery. I prayed to you, as I often do. And when I pray to you I feel a strong comforting feeling afterward. That is how I know you hear me. As you probably know, my mom is doing good. Still in the hospital, but doing much better.(I am glad!!)

Thank you Grampa for helping to raise such a wonderful woman. I am truely blessed to have your daughter as my mother! She has been such a stong beautiful and couragous woman to look up to. I know both you and Mima have given her that strength and courage.

Mima finally got to meet Kameron this summer. We had a big party for his 2nd birthday at your house. It was so much fun, and a blessing for him to meet so many family members, especially Mima! He kept her on her feet for those few days. Even though he didn't get to meet you in person, he knows you in spirit. Myself and my mom tell him about you and he wears one of your crosses on a necklace every day. He also hands out St.Michaels to Police Officers around town.

Thank you again Grampa, for giving me such a wonderful Mother and family! I love you Grampa! Give Jellybean lots of kisses and hugs for us.

Good morning Daddy,

Well Daddy, again with a heavy heart, we have to tell you Uncle Oscar passed away this morning. I hope you were at heavens gate waiting for him to show him the way. The family is heading back to Grant County to be with Tia Cha. Please watch over everyone who will be traveling. It is very hard and sad watching everyone getting older and frail.
Please watch over Tia Cha and Mima.
Daddy, I miss you so terribly much.
Love you, Cammy
