Velasco familia, we are so sorry for your loss.
My family and I extend our deepest sympathy to you all.
I have never known a person with as much drive and stamina as your father. He fought a good fight to the end.
I know the pain of losing a parent. However we have the comfort of knowing they are in a better place, free of pain and suffering.
Your father lived an honorable life, and for that he will be greatly
rewarded.
Our prayers are with you all.
Nancy and the Saldivar Familia

To the Velasco Family

In Sympathy and Caring

Love helps heal the sadness in our times of deepest sorrow,

Love supports and strengthens when it’s hard to face tomorrow,

Love surrounds and comforts with the promise to be there,

Love sustains and hope returns through knowing others care.
