As time passes, the loss of your husband, father and grand father comes with reality that he's gone.
As time passes it heals the sadness.
But with that, there is also joy for all of the wonderful memories that you will always have. All of the years of marriage for Maria are a testament to their love and the love he had for his children and grand children.
Enjoy those memories as you celebrate his life.

I remember Uncle Juan as being a very hard worker. I think about his days at Stater Bros. He was such a kind man and always friendly with my wife and kids. My Uncle would take my mother Eva to bingo with Tia Mary and Pita. Always fond memories when we think of him. He was a good, honest, hard working man. He always took care of his family. Uncle Juan we miss and love you very much.
