My condolences to your family. We used to be neighbors as small kids on Keystone Road west of the Holly Sugar when our parents were farming. We used to take the bus to school from the farm. My mother Beatrice knew your mom well. May God give you strength during this time.

Shirley and family, So sorry to hear of the loss of your brother John. I remember John from when I first returned to Brawley in 1970. He was a fine young man and turned into an upstanding adult. I have a fond memory of attending the Brawley theatre with most of the Sanga family one summer. God bless you all and may the Lord be your rock at this time of loss.
