Mi familia y yo recordaremos a don Clotilde como el mejor abuelo que mis hijos pudieron disfrutar. Don Clotilde jugaba con ellos como si fuera otro niño más. A los nenes les encantaba como el abuelo freía las chuletas.
Les compraba las paletas de sabores, los Ice cream cuando pasaban. Todos los niños del bloque le llamaban el abuelo, pues el también le compraba a ellos. Don Clotilde era muy querido y valorado por los vecinos.
Él era sociable, cariñoso, una persona feliz y de mucha fe. Fue un gran trabajador, buen padre y generoso con su familia. Con mucho más que decir, viviré siempre agradecida porque me trató como una hija y le dejó un gran ejemplo a mis hijos.
Descanse en paz, nuestro querido patriarca Clotilde Pérez. Gracias por todo ❤️. Teresita Pérez

Papi no disfruto de viajes grandiosos, carros lujosos, joyas, ni comodidades modernas. No es que no pudo, muy bien Papi pudo hacer eso y más. Sin embargo, Papi estaba conforme con un techo sobre su cabeza y un buen plato de comida. Lo más importante para él eran las necesidades de la familia o los niños que se le presentaban

Gracias papá por tu generosidad con nosotros tus hijos, nietos y bisnietos. Fuiste un gran ejemplo de amor generoso. Tu, hasta la camiseta dabas por no ver a otros sufrir.

Papi te extraño cada día más y más. No hay esquina en esta casa donde falta tu presencia, mi corazón duele al no verte. Lloro porque sé que el mundo perdió a un gran hombre, y nosotros,un gran padre y abuelo.

Te amo papi. Gracias por todo!
Tu Hijo,
Jorge

To my Amazing Grandfather, I have so many great memories that all came from the kindness he shared for us all. From buying me shoes for my passion for sports, to plane tickets to see his home in Puerto Rico, my Abuelo always wanted us to smile. He played softball with all the kids and also told us to come inside the house when he felt it necessary. He was watching out for all the kids, and I remember feeling upset when other kids would call him Abuelo also. That’s how great of a person he was to our family and block. He has been such a great example of what it means to be there for family. I hope to one day, be recognized the same way as well. I know he’s at full strength again watching down on all of us and I’ll aim to continue to make him proud.

My dear Papa. Sudden death grab you unfairly from us… Our hearts are crying…We can't come to terms with this. You became for me more than Father-in-law, because you loved me like Your own daughter.
It is too hard to realize that you are not more among us, We won’t see your smiling face and eyes full of joy…We won’t ever hear your voice, your conversations with us full of wisdom, sharp mind and authoritative opinion. You will never call us again to ask how we are doing…
You have the potential, and you should live longer, although you are more than 90.
Forgive us… Being far on the distance from you, busy with our lives, work and affairs, we didn’t insist till the end and didn’t organize all conditions to surround you with our full care, peace and love, to make your love better and longer. Because during all of your life, always it was Your priority and Your choice to sacrifice your life, to dedicate and share your unconditional love and unlimited generosity to your beloved sons Jorge, Edwin, Angel and daughters Gladys and Teresa, to your wonderful grandchildren Josue, Loida, Samuel and Sebastian, their children and families. You never betray us, You always was ready to give us your soul, your heart, everything… I admired you of all of that., and also because the difficult twists and turns in your life that you had gone through had not broken you. You told me many times that it was the cross you had to carry till the end of your life. And You did it. Papa, You lived the decent life… working hardly till the age 83 years old and the precious rewards from you work with incorporated your name on them, that we can see on the shelves of your house are the bright witnesses and now the history today’s and future generations of the wonderful, friendly the family Pérez.

Dear Papa, You became for me like my own father, we became so friendly and close by souls. We never never quarreled, I liked to listen to the stories from your life. Very often you make me to laugh, Infect me with your loud laughter.. You have been so wonderful, encouraging, kind, patient supporter. I tried to surround you with all my care to make your life easier, better, with more comfort, growing many plants in Your house to help easier to breath with oxygen for your lung problems. And often told me: “Mama, you made paradise around us.” When you caught the cold I didn’t allow your sickness last long and at once rubbed your chest, your back , your hands and feet with warming medicinal ointments, made you to drink herbal tea and wrapping you in warm blanket. In the morning you joyfully exclaimed: “Mama, I feel goood , like a new brand! Thank you !” And I did all things for You with great pleasure, because you deserved all my attention and care. it was my responsibility to do the best. I remember how early morning you liked to pick up the first cucumbers and tomato from our garden. How sincerely, like a child , you could rejoice at our first harvest of peaches, strawberries, red and yellow raspberries, planted for us…
Dear Papa You was and remain an excellent example of hardworking, God fearing Man, with kind heart and soul full of love for everybody… It is not enough paper to write about you…
We are sure you are now on the right side of Heavenly Father, under His Wing.
I am grateful to God Who sent you ion my life path and reach my life also with one wonderful person like you Papa - Mr Clotilde Ramos Perez.
You remain in my heart forever. And you will continue to live in our memories as long we live and remember You.
With love and pain of irreparable loss,
Natalia Perez
I grieve with all of you, family, Perez
