Clyde was a very good man! I worked with him at the prison and with his Son Marco and brother Patrick at Intel.

If Patrick or Marco what to ever get in touch with me my number is: 505-239-4481

To My Dear Primo,
I was very saddened to hear that you left this world to be with our God, however, now I realize that you're in a better world. I had heard sometime back that you were battling an illness, but I never realized how serious it was. I saw your wife Eva and your daughter Angela some time back. Angela seemed very concerned about your health and asked me to come and visit you. I never found the time to make that visit - Primo, I truly regret not making the time to come and visit you. You have that great smile, and I know you're now looking down from the heavenly clouds and giving me that great smile one more time. Until we meet again, "Happy Trails" Your Primo, Carlos

It is said that one's cousins are our first friends in life and that certainly was true in my life. "Baby Clyde" (as we called him and he never got angry) and his siblings were neighbors to my Tia Rosana's kids. I loved going over there and we would all play together. We climbed trees, dug tunnels in the arroyo and went swimming in the irrigation ditch... What wonderful memories I have!
As adults we don't see one another too often but the friendship and fondness has never faded. When I saw Clyde, I could always expect a big smile and a genuine hug. Rest in peace my gentle, loving Primo.
Eva, Angela, Marco, Tia Molly and all my Herrera cousins, my heart cries right alongside yours. I will miss Clyde but was so blessed to be related to him. Eva, thank you that you took such good care of him during his long illness. You truly kept your wedding vows and Our Lord will bless you abundantly for that. Un fuerte abrazo para todos! Lucille
