Dearest Sophia & Family,
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May you be comforted by the knowledge that he is in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

To the Lucero Family,

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Uncle Ernie was a wonderful man who touched many lives throughout the years. I have so many priceless memories of him from our many camping trips when I was a child. Those are some of the happiest times in my life. He is now at peace and able to share all the good times with my Dad and all our loved ones who have passed. May God bless all of you with strength, hope and peace.
