Missing you everyday......... / Denise Zazueta (Your youngest daughter )
Hi Dad!
It's been awhile since I've written to you, I know.........well Dad I am just sitting here remembering your kind heart. I wish things could be different. I wish you could be here alive..............WE MISS YOU FATHER! Life has been so sad without you.............Although you taught us to love one another and to live our lives the best way that we can..............it's still hard to let you go.....You told us not to be angry.............you said to live our lives for our children like you did for us........you said remember I'm leaving you all as adults and not as children...............we all looked at you like what is Dad talking about...........he's acting like he is going to..............Die..............I guess I knew, but I didn't want to believe it...............because I could not picture my life without you............as I sit here trying to remember your voice...............it brings TEARS to my eyes.......because you were a GOOD Father! When I see other daughters with their Dad's (my cousins) although it hurts..........it helps me remember all the things you taught me...........all the words of encouragement you gave me..............I wish you were here! We would all be at the Diamondbacks games..........we all would be meeting at Garcia's every Sunday............like we use to. Dad you should see your grandbabies.........they are GORGEOUS kids Dad! Your Zoeiana is such a smart girl.......you would be so proud. Dad although you never met Disney and Baby Eddie...........I make sure to share stories with them about you............sometimes at night I try to dream of you.........I try to imagine how you would be with them............holding them............hugging them......kissing them....pinching their cheeks.....BUT MOST OF ALL..............I imagine you blessing them............like you did to us..........I love you Dad............please come to me in my dreams.............God Bless you Dad, until we meet again....................
Wondering what you would think of us today.... / Denise Zazueta (Daughter) “Dad our hearts never felt so much pain The sky came together and dropped lots of rain We thought our lives were coming to an end All I know is we will never give in You were the reason we became who we are You hold our life in the palm of your hand You showed us right from wrong But the day you died everything went wrong You knew us oh so well The day you died our heart fell we will never forget you until we die Maybe someday we will meet up in the sky we know the lord took you cause it was time But he should of let us say the right goodbye we think of you from day to day Wondering what you would think of us today…..”

Missing You very much Daddy.. / Rachel O'Dell (Daughter)
Hi Daddy ,there are times when I think of you when I am Sad....and I cry so much and I wish you were here to pick up the pieces!! I know you are looking out for our family and I know you used to say "Be patient and have faith in GOD.. and things will go your way". There are not enough words to express how I feel but I know one day we will all be together once again!! I love you and I miss you so much..!!
We want to thank all of our family for being there for us when our father/husband passed away. Thank you Tio Raymond for taking that last trip with your little Bro "Peachy" on his journey to California where he would leave us to be born in heaven once again. I can't imagine how sad that ride must have been for you to see your brother on that hospital bed with all those machines hooked up to him. Thanks for being so brave and for doing this for us. To me this was my dad's way of saying, "OK, dude ready to take our last trip to Cali!" Thank you Tia Sheila for flying with me, my mom and Rachel to California, but you know your Gordo, he made sure to be a traveiso for you one last time. Thank you Tia Rosie and Tio Mark for flying to California, our mother needed one of her sisters there for her at this horrific time, Tia Rosie I don't think my mom could have left that hospital had you not been there by her side holding her hand telling her that it was OK to let him go. Thank you Tia Tila and Lisa for being at the Hospital for us. Thank you cousins Steven and Michael for being at the hospital with us and for letting us all stay at your home when we were in California. All of your love and affection got us through this devastating time. Thanks to all of our family and friends here in Arizona that were at Good Samaritan Hospital to be with us. The Hospital was so packed with family and friends that the staff at the Hospital had to ask us to move to another waiting room. The day we left Arizona we all gathered in a circle to pray for my dad, and I felt God all around us. Thank you all again for being there for us. May God be in your lives always................
I'll Always miss you Father 05/09/2006 / Denise Zazueta (Daughter) Hi Dad! Well here I am at 12:07am thinking of you Dad. Maybe because Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday. Dad it's so hard to deal with your passing. I still miss you as much as the day we said our last Goodbye......I wish I could hear your laugh one last time, I wish I could hear your infamous lectures you use to give us kids about life, God, money, health, love..........We still needed you in our lives, we still need you now......it hurts Dad, know one can imagine the pain we still feel, your kids and wife. We all live each day as normal as we can but our life has a missing piece, a piece in our heart that is gone forever. My kids need their Tata Tony, if I could turn back time, I would go back to when we were little kids on a camping trip, sitting in front of a camp fire at woods canyon lake on a night when you had a big cheesy smile on your face looking back at us your kids. I miss you Dad FOREVER.....................FOREVER..................

Tio I went to visit you the other day but could not find you. I know where you are now I took a right instead of a left. LOL Even though I couldn't find you that day I want you to know you are always with me in heart mind and soul. You are wonderful Uncle and the world's greatest Husband to my Tia and I can only wish that one day you will find me a Husband just like you. I miss you very much and will stop by again soon. Comadre Hope Close
Dad can you hear me........... / Denise Zazueta (Daughter)
Hey Dad,
You had a birthday here on earth February 12th, 2006. I want to tell you how much we miss you. I wish we could be together again. The kids are getting so big, and you should see your grandson, how handsome he is how much he looks like you. He has a beautiful smile like you and he makes so many expressions like you Dad. He loves to dance and be held, I think he is going to be like his Tata Tony, a very kind man. Dad I wonder can you hear us, I hope so, you would be so proud of your grandchildren. They have grown so much. Well Mom and J need your prayers in their lives right now, they miss you dearly and need comfort. Here we are almost 6 years have passed since you left us so suddenly.......... But it's hard for us to let you go. I still wonder why you had to leave....but I guess we will never know.........Bye Dad, talk to you soon, I miss you.........Love you always and God Bless............Danny (Denise)

To my loving tata....... / Alycia Odell (Grand-daughter)
Hey Tata I miss you Dearly and I think about you all the time. There's not a day that goes by that I dont think of you or wish that you were here. There are so many memories that you left behind that I remember, Like when you used to come home from work and throw your lunch box on the floor and it would slide against the wall, or you used to bring us home some snacks/food. Also, I remember when I wanted to scratch your BINGO card and you told me, "Alycia get your own F**kin BINGO". LOL You used to take at least a whole week to scratch one bingo card, those were the good memories. I just want to say that I love you and I hope to see you once again!
To My Tio Peachy / Elisa Gonzales (Niece)
Tio Peachy,
There is not a day that goes by, I don't think about you. When my father looks at your picture, thinks about you and speaks of you, he always gets teary eyed. You left us so suddenedly and we really did not have a chance to say goodbye. But you somehow knew it was your time, and left us to be with our father and creator. I often think of us still as children and remember when you would always come into bless us at night before we went to bed, and how you would always bite anyone with chubby cheeks. I have so many fond memories of my Tio Peachy and I am so fortunate that I had you in my life for as long as I did. Your Brother Raymond misses you dearly and we often laugh and cry at the same time when we speak and think of you. Everytime I think of you or see any pictures, you always had a smile on your face. If I could speak to you today, I would tell you how much we love you and miss you, and not to worry about your family because your Brother Raymond and his family will always be there for them. I always take pride in the fact that I have my own personal Angel in heaven in you and that you are always watching over us.
Love You and Always Thinking of You Tio Peachy
Your Niece Elisa Gonzales (Daughter of Raymond Gonzales) Close
