To the entire Huerta family. I am sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you. I am a longtime friend of Melissa's and she talked often of her Dad and Mother. As well as other family members. I'm sorry I never got to meet him.

Hello, and from all of your extended Huerta families in Saginaw, MI, we're sorry to have just learned through relatives (Nov. 18th) of Armando's death. Me, my father, Cesario Huerta, and his Huerta cousin from New Braunfels, Tx, Baudelio H. Machuca, visited with Armando and his wife Carmen, while attending the funeral of my Dad's brother, Jose Huerta of San Benito, about 10 years, give or take. It is with great sadness to hear of Armando's death. My father, Cesario Huerta, his cousin Baudelio Machuca, and myself all agreed that Armondo had a very nice charismatic character and smile. My mother called me yesterday to report of his passing, and she recalled how she and my dad knew him as a child before he married. Our prayers are with his wife Carmen, and all his legacy of children and their children. God Bless, and may you find peace.... Dora Lee & Robert Ruiz, of Burt, MI and also on behalf of my parents, Cesario & Maria Dora (DeLeon) Huerta of Saginaw, MI and also condolences from Raul & Abelina Huerta of Saginaw, MI and all our families.
