Dad - I still can't believe you're gone! I woke up at Rose's this morning and realized that I didn't have to rush out to the hospital because that's about the only time I stay at Rose's. I love you and miss you very much. Give mom a great big hug for us.

I am sorry to hear that Tio Moises passed away, he was actually my cousin. I am the daughter of Fidencio Salinas. My dad was Moises uncle. I have fond memories of visits I made with my father and mother to visit Moises and Emma. God Bless your family. May Moises rest in peace and you are in our prayers.
