Raymond Anthony Arellano

Loretta, I was thinking about you this morning after seeing you in church yesterday morning. I was thinking about how we are both without our husbands now, you for much longer than me. Who knew, huh? I remember helping you guys build your home and all the others all those years ago. It was hard work, but fun. I didn´t know Tony very well, but he was a nice guy with a big smile. It was good to see you, I pray that life has gotten a little easier for you without him.

Well I guess the DS didn't like my last postings, Tony you would have gotten a laugh but I guess they didn't.

Anyway, I wanted your family to know, Loretta, David, Danny- my bud!, April and Ben to know what a good friend you are. Just because we can't get together any more for now doesn't mean your gone.
LOve ya man!

John

Aunt Loretta and cousins,
If there is anything that I can do to help you guys please don't hesitate I am always here for you all. I loved Uncle Anthony with all my heart and think of him often, he truly was an awesome person and was loved by many. He is a beautiful angel up in heaven and some day we will all see him again. I love and miss you guys.God bless!!

To Loretta and Family,
My heart is broken in the loss of Anthony. My younger cousin who I have so much love and admiration for. Anthony, will always be in my heart.
Listening to all the people who spoke at Anthony's funeral it was obvious that he was truly a rich man. Rich not with money but LOVE. The love that came from all who spoke of him. All the lives he touched. How I hope he knows what a gift he was to all of us.
My prayers are with you,
With all my...

Loretta & Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Tony was one of the sweetest souls I've ever known. Heaven is now brighter from his smile & this world won't be quite the same without him in it. Many years ago, he and I worked together at 'Emerson's', (the flute factory),...side by side. Tony's infectious smile & spirit, every day, made me want to be there. Roll backward a few years further,...you & Tony invited me into your home. I spent the afternoon giving haircuts to your family & we...

To the Arellano family:

Although I have not seen Anthony since high school, when I read of his passing in the Salt Lake Tribune last weekend, I felt the need to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I was one grade 'older' than he and was not one of the crowd he hung out with; but that didn't matter. Anthony always had a smile on his face or a kind word. (He was slightly shy-although that could have been to keep all the girls away as we all thought he was so cute.) From...

Loretta and Family,
I am sorry to hear of Tony's passing. While attending Church on the Rock, I got to know Tony during praise and worship practice, I remember how his smile could light up a room. He was a gentle man with a heart of gold. You all are in my prayers.

Loretta, David, Danny, April & Ben:
Anthony was one of the most genuine men I have ever met in my life--I will never forget him! Being around him and your family is always so warm and loving--thank you for always treating me like part of the family!!! Your family has touched myself & Chris in ways I can't even explain--we admire you & love spending time with you guys!!! Keep on supporting each other & showing the unconditional love you all have for one another. With Love, Julie

Loretta,Chris,David,Danny,April&Ben
To all of you: Please know you are continually in our thoughts and prayers. All of you have such a special place in our hearts.Tony's service reflected what a friend he was and how many friends he had. He always made everyone feel like they were the most treasured friend he had and I know many people felt that way. I said "Too bad we can't bottle up that wonderful smile he had and give it away to everyone."
God bless you and comfort you and keep...
