My mind still can’t grasp the concept that I will no longer see you or get your random text… You are in Heaven now, whole and complete.. I love and miss you Uncle Grouch.
I loved my son very much and I will miss him always. Even though I was not included in his obituary I was his Mother and he was a child.
My condolences to the Escobedo’s family. Yes you will be miss but I like say your trade mark you let me with all this great music. Your in better place but forgotten. Rest in peace
