Daddy, daddy, daddy!! Im sitting here crying 😢!!  The saying " i miss you" doesn't begin to express how I feel.  I can't believe its been 5 yrs since you were with us.  But, believe me you are in my everyday life, I literally think about you daily, alot! When we're together, all we do is laugh at your comments, facial expressions whatever you would do!! Needless to say nothing has been the same since that day it was decided for you to go home.  There has been so many positive that has come out of all this. Too many to list, it makes me smile cuz then the sadness isn't unbearable!! You are definitely a legacy if ever I seen one. Rest daddy, you deserve it!! Oh and dont worry about mom, shes fiesty as ever, but she is always good for some laughing! I love you so very much, say hello to everyone thats there with you ok? A hug for my taty and grandbaby, Micah.

Good Morning Daddy,
  It’s been 5 years- 5 years!!!! 5 years ago I laid in this bed so sick, yet it was you who’s heart stopped beating 😔 I had no strength or energy to scream or cry which I know that’s what you would of wanted to prepare me for what came next. I still need you from time to time and miss you terribly.  I feel your presence when I need you most and although I was drained 5 years ago you filled me with more strength and courage to carry on. Mom is as coo coo as ever sometimes and all we can do is laugh, knowing exactly what you would say or do. You’re a great great granddaughter is due to join us in a couple weeks although I know you’re enjoying her now along with hanging out with Taty.lol she is in good hands I know, and of course catching up with junior I’m sure makes you happy. I love you daddy so much. Happy Angelversary .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
 We gave you the best priceless gift 🎁 last year and know you’re enjoying the company.  I miss you every day and often need you more than ever. 
I love you ❤️ 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂

Good Morning Daddy
  Happy Angelversary !  As I lay here remembering 4 years ago so sick and hearing you had a good morning then suddenly our lives changed forever. Didn’t think I’d ever accept it 😔 yet 2 months ago today you welcomed Taty into your world 😢 guess her part of the mansion was built first, I now know why you left and makes me content that you both have each other.  Please take good care of her and keep visiting so I know you’re okay.  I love and miss you terribly Daddy 

❤️ U

3 years has passed and everyday glances at your pictures still makes it seem unreal. You are in the sun, the wind and the rain. Your voice carries throughout the day, you make the wind chimes sing and “My Lady” chirp. Sunday’s are “Grandpa Songs” days that carries us through, memorizing, singing, dancing, laughing and crying. There are days I really need you and events you should be here for.  Your strength carries me and your wisdom pulls me through.  I Love and Miss you Daddy

Daddy, it’s going on 2 years here in a couple hours, I am so heartbroken 💔 and miss you so much 😭 I know your here and I talk to you on a regular basis although there’s just some days I need you!  I need you! I see you sometimes clear as day as it brings comfort, yet the same. I love and miss you and some times struggle to understand then you send me a message to accept that you are fine and are fixing things for me like you never could before . Happy Angelversary Daddy, celebrate with joy. 
Love “your daughter “ (lol) Fay

Hi daddy!! Andrew and I were talking about you last night while falling asleep!! He remembers "the claw " and I asked him who says, " papa it's cold!!, it's cold papa!" He said laughing grampa! Then I said who calls you " pancho" "oh my goodness grampa, I'm Andrew!!" Then he laughed and said grampa is so silly! I miss him, he's in heaven with Jesus and I was crying but happy at the same time cuz he remembers you!! For that I'm grateful!! We love and miss you terribly!! 

Happy 1st  Angelversary Daddy!

In a few hours it’ll be a year since you took your final nap.  Your hands, yours legs and your body are no longer tired, achy or weak. Your heart still beats in me every morning, noon and night. Your Love is felt in the sun, the wind, the rain, the cold- your in every song, every laughter and every tear I shed. I know you didn’t leave me- I just wish you were here!!  
I Love and Miss You so much- 🥂

Every moment with you made me laugh and smile, I miss you so Much Grandpa……. Wish you were here … I Love you and will see you soon…. Hopefully if I make it to Heaven… you know how I feel; you’re my world and one day I’ll make you proud … I’m trying out here … but u know life’s hard… imy again 

Dearest Daddy,
  We finally laid you to rest yesterday, 31 years to the day that we laid Jr. to rest and 2 months since you laid down for a “nap”.  I miss you terribly although know your legs were weak and your hands were stale yet your love was still strong. You left a great legacy that is instilled in everyone within  in your path of life. Dance, sing, pave, laugh, read and dance some more. I love you and have a peaceful calm knowing where you are and who your with!

Your daughter (lol as you always  signed “your dad Tony MESTA” like there was another -lol)

Rest in peace uncle Tony. My memories of my uncle are when we'd visit as children from Colorado and go to your house to swim and eat great food all day long. There was always great music playing, I remember Latin Jazz mostly. Today, as an adult, my favorite music is Latin Jazz! Now I realize why. Thank you for your influence and your love of music! Enjoy the music in heaven. 
Much love and respect, your nephew...
James.



Dear Tony
The one thing I’ll always remember will be seeing you after church  with the biggest smile, holding your bible surrounded with friends. I’ll miss seeing you around and hearing your jokes. Thank you for being the Best grandpa for the kids.... Since your up there, give Junior a hug from all of us will you. Until we meet again....

Love,
Hazel Pajarito Murrieta 




Dear Tony

Thank you for the memories of my younger years of going camping, fishing, just doing things that no one does anymore.  Thank you for always being there for the girls and most importantly raising Daniel.  Cause I was not able to do that.  Wish I knew how to fix it, but I cant so I just take it one day at a time.  The great thing was that I was able to get out and have been free for 10 years now.  Circumstances brought distance between us, even for my family, so I was not able to visit.  I know you're happy where your at, you're with your son.  Again thank you so much for sharing your life with me, even though it was so long ago.  You were a kind, loving, positive, and always a happy person, you will always be i my heart and memories.

Respectfully 

Brenda

I send my prayers and condolences to Margret and the whole family, I’m sorry for your loss. 
May God bring comfort and strength daily. 
May his memories and love stay in your hearts forever. 
God Bless you all. 
 

Hi Grandpa!
We are finally laying your precious body to rest soon, I am ready for you to finally be at peace. I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months now since you’ve gone home, man, time sure does feel different now. The world is different without you, a little bit duller. The days feel like they never end, they just keep going and going. I am adjusting to this new normal, day by day. Some days are easier than others but I am so thankful for your positive spirit because at my worst I can hear you, I can hear your words and I know you’re okay. I know you’re home. Losing you will never get easier, but I am learning to follow. I will be with you again one day. Until then, Guide Me and Protect Me for all the days of my life. Fly High my Grandpa! 

Gabriella 

Hi Daddy! Part of me rejoices because I know you are in the presence of the Lord, but the other part is brokenhearted, disillusioned and just plain dazed out! Say hello to my brother, and enjoy your time with him, he has you all to himself now, he deserves it he waited long enough! 
You are in every old song, every Mexican restaurant and every yard sale!! Until I see you again,
 My love for you is forever....
Your Pansas, 
Marj ❤❤❤❤

Uncle you are the best I'm sorry I couldn't be with you on her last days I love you I wish I could be there with you guys I love you with all my heart you were the best I wish I could have told you last good-byes I'm sorry uncle but you're here with me you're my angel I love you
