My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. My father (Salvador Camarillo) shared many good memories of your father with us. He would often call him by name Jesus (el charro) Abarca who taught him to be a bodyman. My father often talked about growing up in Monterrey and he had many good memories of the Abarca boys. My father passed away on December 31, 2006. I can now see my father welcoming your father through the gates of heaven. El Charro and El Pelon Camarillo together again enjoying the company of our Lord Jesus. I can hear the music, laughter and the good books being read by both.
Sincerely,
Irma Camarillo Napierkowski

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May God lovingly ease your pain and bring you peace of heart in the joyful memories you cherish.
May the hope of the resurrection bring you comfort. For our Lord Jesus Christ promised "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." After saying this Jesus went to the grave of Lazarus and called him out, alive, and he was reunited with is family. (John 11: 11-45). May this hope bring you comfort and peace.

Dear family, I am so saddened about the news of my father-in-law. He was a wonderful man and I know that he IS missed very deeply. I pray that there is some small comfort that he is with our Father up above.

To my Aunt and all my cousins,

My prayers are with you all. Daddy and the rest of us will miss him very much.

Love you,

for my Dad... There's a new STAR in the Heavens, I heard the Lord say, Jesus made his journey in a loney way, he left behind some loved ones, who'll dearly miss him so. The Lord came to call him, so he really had to go. A husband, a father, and a grandpa at that, the heavens are really lucky, they got a heck of a Dad.

I'll miss you Papi...
