ARAGON -- Manuel L. Aragon October 25, 1914 - March 22, 1997 Dear Dad: It has been 10 years since I've held your hand and felt your love and strength flow through me as it did my entire life with you. I miss you each day that goes by and feel a tremendous void without you but, at the same time, I remember that you are in a better place with God, Mom, Mark Anthony, and all of your beloved family and friends that have passed. Sometimes I feel selfish when I long to hold your hand and talk to you and then I stop myself and smile when I think of you. Eddie, Tiffany, and Erik miss you as much as I do. Your unconditional love for them has been a life time of inspiration. There is not a day that goes by that we all do not remember you with fond and loving memories. If I wrote everything that I feel in my heart for you, it would certainly take up the whole obituary column, therefore, I will stop here. We love and miss you Dad/Bosh/Boshie. Until we are together again, your loving daughter Kiki.
