My Tio Monchi was, is, and will always be an integral part of my life. Some of my fondest and most cherished memories come from family gatherings at my Tio and Tia's home, which was always the place to be. I remember how my Tio, Tia, mom, and dad would sing, dance, laugh, and talk over one another, yet somehow manage to understand each other perfectly. Those moments were truly special.
Tio gave the warmest hugs that made you feel deeply loved and welcomed. The love and care he showed for my Tia, as well as the affection he had for my mom and dad, are memories I will always hold close to my heart. I love you, Tio.
