Dear Leticia & Family,

Miguel & I grew up together as we literally lived next door to each other on W. Dakota St. He was my first friend when we moved from Texas to Tucson. We lost track of each other when he went into the service, but I was devastated to learn of his passing.

I wish to extend to you and your family my most heartfelt condolences and sympathy. You will all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Warmest wishes,
Joe Plasentilla
