There aren't words to express the feelings that one goes through when loosing a dear beloved family member, friend, or associate. I am fortunate to have worked with both Dr. Najera and Maggie and will treasure those memories. Rest in Peace Dr. Najera. My prayers and love go out to Maggie and their family.

Dr. Najera was a friend and colleague of my father
Dr. Williford Eppes, who left us in 2008. At Christmas time our family would always receive a wonderful box of fruit from the Harry & David's company courtesy of Rolando. I enjoyed that gift enough to continue the tradition with my friends and family. Thank you good Dr. We will see you in the hereafter...
