Mr. Armendariz,
I knew you when you and your beautiful wife used to go out dancing with my mother and father, Mr. & Mrs. Rincon, years ago and would all have alot of fun. Well it has been alot of years since then but I thank god always that I had met you both, and because of you, your daughter Pita and I are comadres. You are with God now and in Peace which is the most beautiful feeling now, especially also with your wife and of course Irma. We will truly miss you but will all see each again in heaven.

May Papi Joe rest in peace in the loving care of Almighty God with his beloved Nana and granddaughter Irma. May the family find unity and comfort in each other during this time of sorrow. May we all come closer to Jesus and work hard to become more of who he wants us to be as we grow and change in our time left on Earth. MaRose said her dad was not perfect but that he received the Body of Christ as often as he was able to usually on a daily basis. What a testimony to us all. May the Holy Spirit speak to all of our hearts during this time of mourning and reflection.

Primos,

Mom just told me about Uncle Joe last night and we are deeply saddened to hear about his passing. Due to the short notice, I am unable to attend Tio’s services today. While no words can ease your loss, I just want you to know that we are grieving with you and lifting you up in prayer during your time of sorrow. May you find some comfort in your special memories and in the thought of the happy years you shared. Your Dad was a big part of my life; he was my namesake and I hold that very dear to my heart. We all held him in the greatest affection and respect. Uncle Joe was a blessing to all who knew him and he leaves behind an awe inspiring legacy. Susan and I and our family are there with you in spirit, please accept our heartfelt condolences and know that God will see you through it.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
