My most sincere condolences to the Urquidi Family. Fernie was a wonderful person always smiling and happy such a pleasure to be around, he was just a young boy when we met him when we were neighbors in Santa Teresa and no matter where we saw him he always went out of his way to make you feel special. May he rest in peace.

Urquidi and Rivas families,
Fernie was a super father, son, brother, uncle, cousin. He was our first nephew on the Rivas side and we were blessed with only 44 years of his life. Fernie-your cousins feel a huge void without you. We pray our families heal through time and know that Fernie will always be in our hearts and wonderful memories.
Mucho carino,
Tio Tury and Tia Rose Marie

Dear Martha & Family, one month and a week ago you were with us at the passing of my sister Linda and we were so grateful for having you by our side and today we grieve with you on your loss. Fernando was a good Co-Worker friend of Linda. May God give you the Strength & Courage that you will need to heal your heart and your journey to peace and tranquility.

The times don’t always heal the wounds nor does it always make letting go easier to endure……but for every loss there is something to be gained. Our Deepest Condolences from the Villalobos Family to yours. We are deeply sadden by this loss and may The Lord be waiting at the gate to bring him home.

God Bless You

Tommy,
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.
Love you,
Bonnie, Demi & Yasmyne
