ROSIE, our heart goes out to you and your family. Your father was a great man and someone our family held in very high esteem. We are with you in spirit and will miss such a great man...God has plans for him that are greater than our need here on earth. Go bless and keep you all and bring comfort of the Holy Spirit.

To all the Favela family: I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Tony as we all knew him on Durango St. was a good friend of my oldest brother Slim. I went from K-7th grade with Juan (Pelon) @ Franklin School. Rosa and I were very good friends we used to go roller skating over by McKessons just about every nite. Amelia & Baby were older than us so we didn't hang out with them. Your grama Jesusite was my Madrina. My sister Christina hung out with Carmen & my brother Benge hung out with Kiko later with Benny. I wish I could be there! You all take care and may God be with all of you. Frances Alvarado Broiher
