Please accept our condolences. Although we didn't know Mr. Flores personally, we knew what a wonderful man he was through many conversations with one of his grandchildren. She idolized her Grandfather & always spoke kindly of him. We know how deeply his loss will affect all of those he left behind, but please find comfort in knowing that he has reunited with his first and only true love and with others he once missed dearly. He will now be able to watch over you the way you so lovingly watched over him. God Bless you.
