Felipe and Belen were our neighbors for 15 years. They were thoughtful and caring people. Always ready with candy for the kids, and treats at Christmas. We enjoyed seeing them out working in their yard, in coveralls and gloves, weeding and enjoying the outdoors and each others company. We have the little red honda they drove daily and will cherish it, along with the wonderful memories we have of them. We will miss them. Lene Chip Noah Amanda Carpp

We are so sorry for your loss. We lived across the street from Felipe & Belen in Bothell for many years. They were wonderful neighbors & so sweet. Our twins loved to go trick or treating at their house because they always had a bag of candy for them with their names on them! Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Take care,

Curt, Mary Lou, Taryn & Tanna Williams
