May our heavenly Father, in His infinite love and mercy, envelope our beloved dad, Amado in divine peace as he enters eternal rest. A beacon of love, charity and faith, he led by the most inspiring examples - living his truths with a passionate spirit and wise heart. His voice singing Immaculate Mother still echoes within us stirringly, reminding us to pray. Though greatly missed, we are comforted knowing that God holds him near until we can be united once more in paradise.

In the embrace of our Heavenly Father, Amado now rests; an embodiment of love, faith and kindness. His passion for life was matched only by his thoughtful heart and generous spirit. He etched everlasting memories in our hearts as a devoted father whose tender love was unfailing. As we mourn his departure from earthly bounds, we are comforted with the promise of reunion in celestial glory. Until then, he will be profoundly missed but forever cherished.

Dad, I love and miss you very much. I will always remember to pray, attend church and keep the family connected. You are the best dad I could ever hope for, so loving, caring, selfless. Always telling us that you love us and miss us. I can still hear you sing immaculate mother after praying the rosary growing up. I will never forget how hard you worked 3 jobs to provide for us and still managed take us out on weekends gong to church, shopping and eat out. I will always cherish our family memories. I know you are with us more now and watching over us, pain free, happy to be i eternal rest with God. Until we meet again.

The treasured memories that come to mind when I think of my dear Uncle Mandy serve also as precious lessons that I’ve made part of my life. His unfailing commitment to prayer & honoring our Dear Lord was the biggest impact I’m grateful to have learned by his example to lead and encourage the family everyday in prayer. His unending kindness to me & my family will never be forgotten. His contagious laugh & supreme style of dress made him standout as someone very special & indeed he was. I thank my Uncle for the advice he shared with me as life would unfold for me over the years. You are deeply missed dear Uncle. You will never be forgotten as I hold you in my heart. Thank you for many years of laughter, love, fun times & genuine care. May you rest in eternal peace in paradise with our Saviour. I love you. -Your niece Aileen Paule

Uncle Mandy was one of my favorite people growing up. His infectious positive energy was something I will forever remember him by. He would always make me and my brothers laugh when he was around. I can still hear him saying “Good man” as he walked by in some fresh shoes and an extremely stylish outfit. He was truly one of a kind and he will be dearly missed forever. Rest peacefully, Uncle! We love you very much.

I am the nephew of my dear Uncle Mandy (Pete Paule AKA Jun). My favorite times were when we were all together in Oxnard CA. As we get older those days are even more treasured. There’s a scene in the Disneymovie “Up” and it describes all of us when we were together with uncle Mandy and that is “it’s boring times that I treasure the most”. No need for traveling, parties, dinner. It was just sitting on the couch and seeing each other that was the times that truly hit my heart. We love you, uncle Mandy, like you would never know, and someday we will meet again. I promise you that. please say hello to my parents and all our relatives. it’s you that is at a blessed place now. It’s time to eat now, as you would tell me. (a photo I found. Uncle Mandy wasn’t in this pic, because he took it. It’s who he was, unselfish. A beautiful soul).
