Aunt Rosie,
To many good memories of you and Redo being part of our growing up years. You always thought of us around our birthdays and holidays but your sense of humor was the best gift you gave me. Will miss you and your laugh. I thank Polies kids for being there for you and all others that helped.

Aunt Rosie,
I'm sorry that I didn't get to Yuma often enough to see you. I'll always remember you, my uncle Frank, my dad, and my grandpa Catarino. I remember playing as a kid on black hill by your house while my dad and mom visited you and uncle Redo. I'll always have those memories.

The Fernandez family still lives on with my brother, sister, and myself. I love you and will miss you.

Es triste cuando un ser querido se duerme en la muerte. Pero gracias a la maravillosa esperanza que Jehova Dios nos da, de volverlos a ver de nuevo, en un futuro muy cercano, nos llena de alegria. Jesucristo lo dijo en Juan 5: 28 y 29. Familia Fernandez Renteria. Sentimos mucho su perdida y esperamos que estas palabras de Jesus les fortalezcan.
