PANIAGUA, Miguel
Our dad, Miguel Paniagua, left his temporary home here on earth on August 5, 2012. He was preceded by his beloved daughter Angie Parra. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Angelina, daughters Helen, Adela, Joanne, Yvonne, Rachel, son Michael and son-in-law ,Jim Parra, 27 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. He was born in El Paso, Texas, one of 7 siblings. They were orphaned when Dad was 8 years old and were raised by various relatives. He was a proud army veteran, having served during World War II. He worked many, many years to provide for his family. Our parents resided in La Puente for 54 years.
We were greatly loved by our dad and are very grateful for all he taught us. He said "Never take anything that isn't yours," "No matter how lowly others might think your job is - as long as it is honest labor - you work as hard as you can," "Never take a wooden nickel," y "Tanto andar en la marina y no conocer al camaron."
The most important truth he taught us was that Jesus is the Son of God. He taught us to pray and to love God. We have been blessed beyond measure by having him all these years. We know he is now in his eternal home with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will miss him greatly until our reunion in heaven. I Peter 1:3-4

I am very sorry for your loss...I will never forget the first days we moved into the neighborhood. Mike and Helen came over to check to see if we needed anything. Mike was a good man and a good neighbor. All the Paniagua family have been good to me....I will continue to be here for you Lina. You and I can continue to watch over one another.

For my brother Alfred Garcia: Although he may not remember him now, he always used to tell me how he would stop by to visit with your parents when he was in the area. I'm sure he would like to express his deepest sympathy to your family.
