Mattie and Mary,
I am so sorry to see that Pete passed away. I remember when we were kids and we all played together. It sounds like Pete grew up to be someone very special. It is too bad that we lost touch. My prayers are with you and all the family.

To the Family,

I met Poncho at Newcomers Mortuary in OPKS this last May.

Within hours of her death, Poncho was there to support the family and friends of Debbie Watson from Wichita, KS. Debbie died unexpectedly in OPKS.

Poncho was warm and caring. He communicated with B.A.C.A. members from Wichita & Kanas City. B.A.C.A. escorted Debbie's body back to Wichita the next morning.

Poncho and B.A.C.A. gave Debbie and her family respect and dignity at a difficult time. As Debbie's friend, I am grateful for what he did for her and imagine Debbie greeting Poncho with gratitude and love.

Dearest Lucy and Family,

I remember a cold October night in 06 where I got to know Lucy and Poncho. Lucy, you had so many wondeful stories of Poncho. We laughed seems the whole night. Poncho is in a better place, and you, my friend, are left with many wonderful memories. Poncho was a special man, and you are a special woman.
