Duane Suazo Obituary

The Recitation of the Rosary will be held at 6pm on Thurs., March 14, 2019 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Durango. A memorial mass will be held at 10am on Fri., March 15, 2019, also at Sacred Heart. A burial of ashes will take place in Spring 2019 at the Ouray Memorial Cemetery, Ignacio.
