Our hearts go out to the entire Moreno family over the loss of Manuel Moreno, and we were deeply saddened to hear of Manuel's passing. Please know that Uncle Manuel was a friend and a blessing to all of the extended Moreno & Guerrero family members, and he will truly be missed. Of course Manuel was an excellent businessman and yet he was even a better person in life as he continually showed compassion for others. Manuel was always kind and humble and he was a great example for all of us to follow. We send our love and prayers during this difficult time.
