Mi amiga Beverly, no words can fill the void for you and the family but, memories help the healing. We shared so many happy memories like one giant family at Sangre de Cristo Water Company. Celebated birthdays, holidays, and important events in in each family member of that tree. You and Amadeo were a great part and your love was always there. How he loved our sons Anastacio & Esteban, like a grandpa. Alfonso and I will keep you all in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Please call on us as you need to, we are here. Descanse en paz Amadeo. Eres recebido en los brazos del Señor. Alfonso & Vioma

Tammy,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad, he was a great guy and will be missed. I always enjoyed visiting with him at County Fair. I had known him since the old Sangre De Cristo water co. days, I didn't even know he was your Dad back then, but he was always smiling and happy and never had a discouraging thing to say.
