Thinking of you, my dear Papa. When I see this picture I remember the great conversations we always shared, and the many life stories you openly told. Thank you for being such a great listener and always hearing every single word I spoke. Thank you for the advice you always offered, and your true loving and caring nature. Thank you for being a great dad and friend, and for sharing with the world your infectious smile and great sense of humor. Thank you for loving me so much and the many sacrifices you and mom gave to raise me in becoming the person I am today. My girls love you Papa, with all their hearts. They were your little girls and you gave them the love that only a loving, happy and proud grandpa could offer. Thank you, Papa, for being you and giving me the honor of being your only daughter. My heart hurts, but I will heal because YOU have always taught me to be strong. But for now, I will cry, and I will hurt, but I will be okay. I will always love you and miss you SO SO much. ♡︎♡︎♡︎♡︎

I have always kept you hi in my heart. I was a little boy when Papa Lino went home to god. You and Tia Olivia keeped us Close together to help us understand where he went. Your faith was implanted in Chris and I. As a grown man I know where you have gone. Funny story, I have a great theory about why I love my truck so much. It reminds me of you and your Jeep you had in the garage collecting dust. I guess I got it from you.except I drive my dust truck. I remember playing basket ball in your back yard when we had carne asadas, and you and Tio Tony singing some outrageous songs you two made up after a certain amount of beers. I think back and those were the greatest hits of all times. I also know why I am a musician at heart. Your Singing made everyone’s day happier. You are with the lord nw. I will miss you but I will never forget you. Douglas Jr. less
