My name is Julianna Rosado, and on the morning of May 13th, my father devastatingly passed away. It was a sudden, and unexpected loss- a painful time that me, my family, and those close will never forget.

He was always a strong, caring, and amazing father. He did everything he could to take care of our family. From the moment we got our house foreclosed on 8 years ago, and had no where to go. He was the one working every day of the week to keep a roof under our heads. And food on the table. He kept us alive and surviving. And even though it led us to staying in a hotel for years due to so many financial difficulties, he made sure that we were always a family. That we always stuck together. Even being that silly, fun guy to his coworkers and friends. Always being the go-to guy to any friend or person who needed mechanic help because he always excelled at his job. Cracking jokes whenever he could to see the people around him smile, teaching me so much about how cars and mechanics work so that i'd know what to do when needed, getting me and my siblings the things we wanted to make sure we were happy, helping me drive towns away to get my first car. Giving my mother gifts when he could just to show his love and care for her. He did so much for the people around him. And he was the best father i could ever ask for. He helped me grow into the person I am today. And he will always be a part of my soul.

Me, my mother and brothers are going through this together as much as we can, trying to keep up with living at a hotel, keeping us all under a roof and surviving. Staying together as family. We aren't financially doing the best, making the bare minimum to stay together, and really want to raise money to have a proper memorial for him and for our family. Any care and support from everyone around us means so much and is greatly appreciated.
