FERNANDEZ -- VICENTE R. Three In the winter of 1975 you joined sis and me. We became mommy's little three. We've been her pride and joy ever since. You, however, were and will always be the apple of mom's eye. You grew into an honest, humble and hard working man just like our dad. By the end of 2008 you had your own three beautiful children. Then, three years ago today, without warning, you went to heaven to join dad and grandma. Now the three of us, mom, sis and I are totally lost without the three of you. Chente, your three are okay, and thanks to Janice we see them regularly. The three of us ask that you pray and watch over your three and the three of us well. Don't know how the three of us have made it this far, but only by the grace of God. May the three of you rest in eternal peace and know that we miss and love you every moment of everyday.
