Joe, Luci & boys, Herondina & family. My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. Sorry I am not able to make it to the services as I now live in Oregon. I always remember meeting up with Tio Jose Machado at the fiestas. He always wanted to buy me something to drink or eat. I looked forward to seeing him & Tia at the fiestas. I've wondered how he was doing down in Chowchilla. I haven't seen him for a few years. May God Bless all of you and your families with the strength and courage that you may need to cope with the challenges that this may bring into your lives. I'm sorry to hear about you loosing your mom less than a year ago but I didn't have an address to send our condolences. Love, Tio Jose Machado's afiladia, Olivia (Machado) & Bill August
