TO THE ZEPEDA FAMILY,

Please receive my most heartfelt condolence on the loss of your beloved father.

“May the blessings of love be upon you,
May its peace abide with you, and
May its essence illuminate your heart,
Now and forever more Blessing.”

I have the following words to convey to you.

I met your father quite a number of years ago while working with Attorney Bob Sanchez. As the years passed and I came to know Mr. Zepeda, I can truly say that he was a classy and polite gentlemen, always dressed neatly, and wearing his favor hat. He was charming, kind, generous, and a devoted member of the American G.I. Forum. As time passed, I could see that he loved life; that he always had a wonderful and persuasive smile that would inspire you to smile; even though, you were having a “bad day”! Your father always had something cheerful and meaningful to say which made you “stop and think” life is not that bad! Also, he was always happy and always left by saying “something funny” and made you laugh even when things were not all right for you! I remember him as a pleasant, kind, and wonderful person! God bless him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.


Sincerely,


Mimi Liscano
