Happy Daddy's Day! Today has been so hard....I talked a lot about you at church. I feel like a broken record just endlessly telling stories about you and reliving memories. I keep thinking about that movie "Ernest and Celestine"...how in the end, Ernest tells Celestine that when she's done telling their story that they'll make new stories....I just want more stories with you. 35 years wasn't enough for me. I keep telling Aaron about you.....You'd be so proud of him! Each time I've cried, he notices, gives me a hug, and has even brought me a tissue! He's learning so much about empathy this past month and it's showing! I can't say it enough....I just miss you....You've been the best daddy a girl could ask for! I'm still fighting. I'm still bobbing and weaving. I'm still training. I do loves you Daddy! Happy Heavenly Father's Day!
Love,
Your Girly Wirly Poo

Mi amor .... Gosh I miss you every single day. Every moment. Everytime I am reminded of a memory. I see you in certain places you liked to sit, or do the bills. One of my brothers said to me, that even though you are not here, we are still ONE. You are still with me. Mi amor, you and I were a team that not many people understand. As humorously opposite as we were, you and I understood each other perfectly. The Lord is so amazing in His ways. Not many people know that you had prayed for someone that was opposite of you. Well....the Lord put us in each other's path and the rest is blessed history. E did however have the most important things IN COMMON. And that was family and God. Our kids and our grandsons meant the world to you. In your infinite and many times hilarious wisdom, you did your best to give them the best advice, memories and love. Oh amor, I know they will forever carry that with them. I can only pray that you witnessed how amazing your kids stepped up and on your behalf took care of the funeral and of me. Amor....I know I'm going to break several times thinking of you....but I promise you, our kids and our kiddos that I will pick myself up each time. You told me if something happened, you needed me to be strong and stay focused and take care of myself. I will. I won't let you nor our family down. I will Lean on the Lord for strength, understanding and peace. You know, many people also didn't realize how well you knew the Word of God. Wow, I was so in awe when I'd hear you talk. I miss many things about you amor. But one thing for sure that I will miss is when we joined together randomly to PRAY. 🙏🏼 Such beautiful conversations we had with the Lord. Thank you for that. Thank you. But I know, because we are ONE....that you will still be with me, joined together .....when I sit and pray. I love you amor with a love that is so hard to explain. Mi corazon, mi amor, mi chiquito....mi honey. The next time I see you, you will be with the blessing of a restored body made new! Praise God, thank You Jesus! Te amo, te amo, te amo!!! 💙💙💙😘

Daddy,
Sunday was our day…
Every Sunday for years….this is our day…and this is my Sunday…without you here. “Is it breakfast time??” You’d call out every Sunday and I’d run from my room to say “It’s breakfast time daddy!” Like clockwork. This has been the most difficult month of my life. The world doesn’t feel right. It feels empty and I feel the weight of your absence. Im trying so hard to make you proud and to be strong. To live life like a boxing match and fight when issues knock me down….daddy, the fight in me feels like it’s all but gone in these past few days. But deep down, I know that’s not true. You instilled so much fight, confidence, strength, and courage into me that I know it’s just not in my nature to stop moving forward in life. I miss you so much….i just can’t believe you’re not a phone call away anymore. You won’t walk through the front door. I won’t see your name pop up on my phone. How do I get through that?… My strength as well as my tears, come in waves. I do love you so much Daddy! I’m not going to give up. I’m going to make you proud!
Love,
Your Baby Girl

Ernest, you were never an in-law to this family; you are our brother. Your huge personality and humor come second only to the love and dedication you had for Dianne and the family you two created. Your kids and your grandkids will be your legacy, and through them, you will live on forever. Thank you for loving and taking such good care of my sister.
You are now in the arms of our Lord and Savior, and we will all be reunited someday. Until then, rest easy and know we got it from here. We will take care of your little family for you.

in honor of Ernest.

Dear Uncle Ernest,

Thank you for being an amazing Godfather. I’m so blessed that it was you because there was literally never a dull moment. You always had a joke to tell or good advice to give when things were hard. I know there would be times when we wouldn’t see each other for a while, but as soon as we did, it felt like no time had passed. You and my dad had such a similar sense of humor, and that humor was loud lol. You were always there to help in any way you could with everything, and I am really going to miss talking and joking around with you. I’ll forever love and miss you, rest in peace.

Love, Your Goddaughter

The first time I met Ernest was when he was dropping Celeste off to stay with me for a few days while we were dating. The first thing he did was ask to take a photo of me and my driver's license. It threw me off guard and I hesitated but I thought about it and realized he was asking this in order to protect his daughter because he loved her very much. The more I got to know him the more I realized how true that was. He did his best to take care of his family and protect them and they love him dearly for that. I promise I will take care of your daughter, that I will love and protect her with my life. May your memory be eternal.

To My Big Brother Neto, man you always had the best jokes. Never stale. Well maybe every once in awhile there was a state one in there. But we always found lots of stuff to laugh about. Will miss you more than I can say.
