I think of Genaro and cant help but smile he was like a big brother to me....only in size because otherwise he was the biggest spoiled brat ever.I was with one off the boys in their clique. Fernando and Genaro were a team big brother and lil brother out to a conquer the world.To Fernando Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to be a part of your lives.I remember many good memories and thats what matters with G's pouty lips when he didnt get his way to watching that mouth turn to a stiff upper lift that showed his confidence.....so you did exactly what Fernando asked of u grow up and make me proud! you went above and beyond making us all proud and very thankful for the sacrifice you and your family had to unselfishing mske
with much love and respect a thank u send up through the angels hoping its quicker then snail msal(insert a scoopy do noises here)
my condolences to the family and friends of Genaro F. Acosta, for he truly did live a selfless life, and the Bible at John 5:28,29 speaks of a time when such ones "in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and and come out, those who did good things to a resurection of life." and "death will be swallowed up forever"Isa 25;8
Genaro, thank you for the ultimate sacrafice. I grew up in Carmichael, a town neighboring Fair Oaks in the Sacramento area. After serving in the US Marines, I settled with my family in the Lakewood/Bellflower area near Long Beach. My daughter is now at Mayfair Middle School. We have gone to many Mayfair football games this year. She is a proud Monsoon! We are proud of you, Genaro, as a fellow Catholic, even though we never met. Carry on, Monsoon. May you sit at the right hand of the Father in Paradise. Bless, too, your family and children.
You guys are the real heroes of The US. I never knew Genaro, but I feel that I owe him and the other heroes so much. Thanks to Genaro and all the other great soldiers that we have lost. May God be more greatful to you than we have been!
There is nothing to say except, " We all miss you G!"
