My condolences to the Islas Family. Armando was my co-worker with Dr. Ruben Pechero for approximately 20 years. We shared many moments as we worked side by side for all those years, to me he was a great man and also a special friend. Mando had an awesome heart, was always ready to and you could always trust that he would be true to his word. He was by my side in my ups and downs as I raised my now grown kids, Cecelia, Brendon and Alejandro. I will miss you my friend. One day we will both continue working in "Work Hardening" in heaven. Til then ......... Love You Liz Esquivel
