To the Acedo Family: I have many memories of Conque in the 1950's sitting on the porch of the house on 5th Street one block from downtown and joking with us and making us laugh and smile everytime we passed. He was a good person with a big heart. I can be reached at [email protected]

" You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning."- Job 14:15. What a comforting thought to know that God actually yearns to bring back to life those who have fallen asleep in death.
