Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to the family. I remember when my grandfather, Gabriel and I would go see him after we had cut some yards. Cornelio was always happy and had good things to say to my grandfather. He always had a smile on his face. That is what I remember of him his smile and his good nature. My mother Tencha always had good things to say about Cornelio. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him.

Thank you,
Freddy & Patricia Alvarado

Sanchez family, our condolences on the loss of a great man. Although we never had the opportunity to meet him in person, we saw the love in Ruth's eyes as she spoke about him while sharing pictures and stories of the visits with her dad, the twinkle in his eyes and how much he loved his grand children and family. May his strength continue on in his family members as you celebrate his life.

All our love and prayers to the Sanchez. family. He was a great uncle, he always made us laugh and smile when ever we would visit San Antonio.He will be missed dearly.

Familia Sanchez,
I send my condolences in behalf of sister Agapita Becerra and myself. I remember brother Sanchez and memories of him with all of us when growing up as we attended the church on Culebra road. He was such a nice man and always with a beautiful smile and welcoming all the members at church very spiritually. He was a great brother.

God bless you all. Sylvia Lopez & Sister Becerra

Sanchez family, my condolences on the death of your dad, Cornelio. I have the best memories of him and your mother at church. They always greeted everyone so warmly and loved to work with the children. They were a good example to me of what a Mormon should be when I was baptized in 1975. We will see them again!
