I still remember meeting him on your wedding day. You would've thought he was getting married his smile was so big. He was so warm and welcoming that I have not forgotten that brief meeting all these years later. <br /><br />We love you guys. You are an inspiration to us.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570487985639969888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638151582544027461.post-91295033776730158372011-12-09T23:25:21.704-05:002011-12-09T23:25:21.704-05:00Metta, your tribute to Mr. Prieto (the elder), and...Metta, your tribute to Mr. Prieto (the elder), and careful self-examination of your own responses leave me incredibly impressed. He was a very good and holy man.<br />Marcos, again, we offer our condolescences, our concern and our deepest respect for the wonderful legacy your father left in the man you are.

I think Mike's sister tried to resuscitate him to no avail. I often wonder if the same thing happens to Mike. I guess we all have to learn to accept Heavenly Father's plans in faith. Sorry my comment is so lengthy but I just wanted to tell you that we are there for you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701584635723552106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638151582544027461.post-44300655293068968822011-12-08T07:54:27.598-05:002011-12-08T07:54:27.598-05:00That was beautiful.

Being involved in your life (even just via a blog) makes me want to be a better person. You guys have been in our thoughts and we will continually pray for you. <br />Big hugs and kisses and LOVE being sent to you. xxxmelandpeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290862917912907334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638151582544027461.post-7017824844161248652011-12-07T10:57:25.831-05:002011-12-07T10:57:25.831-05:00Death is extremely hard for me.

My father is a horrible grandpa and Christian's dad barely had enough time to be a dad. Unfortunately my kids never had the opportunity to create a grandpa memory. On the other hand my mom and Pammy are the the two kindest women I know and amazing grandmas. I'm so sorry for your loss. These things make no sense to me at all.Damaris @Kitchen Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526087060203536108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638151582544027461.post-86252327310844190472011-12-07T07:27:57.672-05:002011-12-07T07:27:57.672-05:00Yes, babies keep us moving forward and living.

I remember when my brother in law passed away last year, the next day I got up and took care of Kadin, but when it was time for his nap, I finally got to break down and cry about it, crying on Mariko's shoulder and getting all my feelings out about it. Then it was time to get Kadin again and make meals, clean stuff, etc. I love how close your family is and how much support you give each other. So glad you have such a wonderful Papai to look up to and honor.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853730316116265249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638151582544027461.post-65151218509796747102011-12-07T03:40:25.050-05:002011-12-07T03:40:25.050-05:00Metta and Marcos,

Its easy to see the goodness of his life in the fruits of his posterity. What a legacy of faith and strength he has created for you to carry on. <br /><br />The pictures of him with Gigi are beyond adorable. How priceless! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your hearts and inspiring thoughts with us.<br /><br />Love you!<br />-HeaHeadlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985633085132665639noreply@blogger.com
