So sorry to hear of his passing, he will be greatly missed by many. Know that he made a mark in this world. May he rest easy. My condolences to his family

Papi, My heart is broken since I heard of the news today of your departing. I can only say that you will be missed and I thank you for the years we shared has a family when you raised me. I never forget the fun moments and your creativity with arts such as drawing and singing. Our moments of watching the Wizard of Oz every year when I a youth. The first time we watch the movie Grease how we danced in the living room goofing off to the music. How you welcomed me into your family as I was your daughter and not a step daughter. I wish I would of known of the sadden news sooner so would I had a proper farewell. I know that you are not alone in heaven since now you're with uncle Willie, pop, abuelo, and abuelo Tony. I'm I love papi and will miss you. Sending my condolences and prayers to the Colon family and to my mother, nieces, nephews and my siblings, and also to Yusi and your children. Love, Lil Jackie
