Dear Raquel and family: Tom and I are so sorry to have just found the news of Dr. Pineda's passing. At work I was searching for physicians for a patient and came upon it.

Our prayers and Masses will be offered for him and we are here for you at anytime. Our deepest sympathies, Tom and Mary Jean Houlahan (561) 302-7559
