My father was a devoted man to God first then his family. He always told us that God came first in our lives and to never forget. We never did without food, clothing or shelter. Dad provided all we ever needed and was always the provider of the family. Dad was also the foundation of our belief in God. He made sure we went to church always.For that we are forever grateful. Dad was a hard working man. to look at his hands was to see the hands of the greatest man that ever lived. Dad you will forever be in our hearts and
in our memory. Sleep daddy until we meet again. Say hello to mom for me. Tell her i miss her so much.

For my beloved cousins. The memories of our childhood and the friendship our parents shared are priceless and live forever. The comfort they provided to each other on their Vegas junkets are beloved treasures. As Bob Hope sang "Thanks for the Memories" that is the legacy that these hard working people, (our parents) left for us.
love you all CUZ"s

Our hearts are filled with great sadness with the passing of our brother, Elias Perales! He was more than just a brother to all of us. To many of us, he was a father, a brother, a friend, a counselor,a mentor, a leader. His life was an example to follow, filled with love, generosity and gratitude.
I, so, admire his love for our Lord, his courage and his strength. His love for our Congregation was extraordinary. He fought the great battle with great pride. He taught us not to be afraid and to fight for justice! He was a great and fierceful leader! We all looked up and will continue to look up to him in the years to come! All of us are so proud of him and can only hope to continue in the path that Christ came to teach us to follow as Hno. Perales did!
We will miss him a great deal! However, he will live in our minds and hearts forever! There is no forgetting a person like our brother, Perales. I, personally, will always remember him!
We want to thank him so much for all his hard work and all that he gave up and did for us!!! We are greatly indebted to him and his dear wife, Hna. Panchita! We love you both!
Hno. Perales was a wonderful and loving father to many of us!! We will continue to work and march forward until the end as he did! I pray the Lord will continue to guide us and protecting us until the end!
Many blessings to the Perales Family. Peace to you all!! Ana Dinorah Hite

I was so blessed to have such a wonderful Father. He taught me to fear and love God and to know that without him in your life you will not find peace in this world. He taught me the meaning of faith. He always honored God as long as I can remember. He honored his family and his loving wife. Family meant everything to him and he showed it by the way he loved me and my siblings. When he wasn't at work he was with his family or with his extended church family. He never discouraged me during my childhood when I went through my tomboy stage. He let me have so much fun being one of the boys, and taught me how to throw a right hook even though my mom protested. I remember when he taught me to drive and when he helped get my first car. He was a stern teacher but patient. My heart aches for this wonderful man who took such good care of his family. He would tell me that that I was to good to him when I would take him to church or his appointments. I would tell him I had a lot of catching up to do for all the things he did for all of us. He would tell me it was his duty to take care of us. I would tell him that it was our duty to now take care of him until he leaves this world. I will miss watching the Dodger games with him. I will miss him waiting for me on the porch with his smile when he saw I had finally arrived. I will miss you so much Daddy. Tell Mom and Diego and Barry we miss them so much. Love, your daughter, Anna.
