In my mind you would just always be here with us, sitting in your recliner with your lottery tickets in your pocket watching tv. I love you and miss you. I can picture your smile and can hear your voice in my heart. Your memories and stories will be with me forever. I'll see you later Tata..

Armenta Family,

Please accept our condolences on the passing of your dad. As your family grieves, we are praying for you all.

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
