Rosie & Robert, We are sad for you, as we know how much you loved Ofelia. I remember going to the family get-togethers (as your chaperone!) and having so much fun with Ofelia and her family. That family sure knows how to laugh (and share the laughter)! We know you and the rest of her family will miss her, but be comforted by her final peace and rest. Love you! Liz & Rick

My deepest sympathy to all of Ofelia's
family. I knew Ofelia through my Sister,
Rosie and Robert, and found her to be the
most lovable person to talk to. She is
now enjoying God's rewards. God bless
you all. Violet Montano Heeb

Dear Paul and Margie,
Please know Abby was one of the kindest, sweetest co workers, I had the pleasure of knowing at Thomas Davis. I live out of town. I am unable to attend her services but know she is in Heaven looking over her family. It is truly a gift having known her. Liz (formerly Dr. Meyer's nurse).
