Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Beloved ones, in John 11:11 it is said, "Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep." For the promise in Jhn.5:28,29, "All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Peace within. J. Wilson

Our deepest condolences to Gloria and family. May God bless you and yours during this time of sorrow.

May God comfort and protect the family of "Joe the Barber". He was a very good man! We will miss seeing Joe around town.

To the Montoya family. I'm sad to hear the news of your dad's passing. There's so many memories of seeing your dad give my dad Norman Bradshaw a haircut. i loved going to the shop as a child. Joe used to take my parents to the casino at times. Later in life I saw Joe going shopping to Walmart in EC and sitting in McDonald's having his cup of coffee while you girls were shopping.

I know he is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord right now, but we sure are going to miss him here in Imperial!
