Dear Cha-Cha,
We just heard the very sad and tragic news of your son's passing. We rejoice in knowing that he will be waiting at the gates, if it's allowed, to greet you and all his family once again.
It was one of those things impossible to understand and words are useless at such a time. However, we just had to let you know that our hearts ache for You, your Husband and your Daughter.
Nothing can take from you the wealth of wonderful memories and the happiness that you and your son, brother, shared for so many years.
Everything we feel, do and are going thur Jesus is feeling doing and going thur it with us.
With Loving Thoughts,
Mondo & Yrma Beltran (Williams)

Our family would like to express our deep sympathy for your great loss. My daughter went to OLPH and has attended Garces for the past 4 years. She would often tell me that her friend Dom would give her a ride to school or he would say something really sweet to her.....I knew your son through my daughter and she always told me what a wonderful, kind person he was....I know my daughter already misses him. May the lord be with you all.
