To my Family Villalobos:

My deepest sympathy and my condolences to all of you, Liz, Saul Jr., Bernice, and Veronica; and, to your families too.

My fondest memories will always be of when we came together as children or as adults, in Tucson or in El Paso, for reunions, weddings, our Nana's 4th of July birthday, which she shared with her only son, my Tio Saul.

My favorite memories will always be the time in Clint, when my Tio Saul took us to share some family history, and the pride he had in "Nuestra Familia." From our Abuelo's bus line and his time spent as the Constable of Clint, to the old house the Villalobos grew up in, which was still there at the time.

This pride of "Family" continues in me, when I speak of my mother's Father (Alfredo) her mother (Refugio) and her brother Saul. And, to all of you, my cousins, I am proud to call you my Familia, I am proud to know the legacy of the Villalobos family continues through all of you, your families, and then through us, your extended family.

To my Tio Saul,

Although the distance we are separated by in life, and for now, in heaven, we are still close; and, we are still a family. I know you are resting in peace and have reunited with all your loved ones. I know my Nana couldn't wait to see you entering those gates, with her arms wide open. I could hear her saying "ven aqui mijito."

I'll never forget the one time you stopped your "big rig" in our neighborhood, as you were passing through Tucson, so you could stop and see your mom. After that time, I think you thought you better leave the rig elsewhere, and would call us to go pick you up instead.

I'll never forget your taste for Pat's Chilidogs or Lucky Wishbone, long after you had moved from Tucson, and how you and my Tia Betty would stock up while you were here, so you could take the food back to El Paso.

Finally, I'm sorry my flight never made it out of Tucson, so I could not be there to share the grief and loss with my familia, and to give a formal farewell to you. Adios Tio.

Tu Sobrino,

Manny Bracamonte Sr.
