Ronnie, Cookie & Boy. It is with deep sorrow that we sign this guest book. We have been left with a void in our hearts. However, they are now once again together in Heaven and that is a comforting thought. They were such good parents and loved all of you so much. You have every right to be very proud of your parents. Our Best Friends have left us and we miss them very much. May God Bless all of you. Remember that we are here for you. If there is anything that we can do to help you, please let us know. We love you all.

Ronnie, Boy, Cookie and family, My deepest sympathies are with all of you at this time. May it console you to know how
many people considered your dad to be a special person. Always a smile on his face and ever a helping hand. I remember how hard he'd work (along with my dad) for St Anthony's fiestas, getting everything ready. He also worked on my dad's house, and even up to a couple of years ago I asked him for advise on the wiring of it. You guys were blessed with great parents and role models. May you find comfort in knowing you will be in our prayers. God Bless You all.
