Allen Lee Espinoza, there are simply Four Fathers in a lifetime. A Father, A Son, and a Holy Spirit, when we marry into a separate family, God grants us a Father In Law, his laws in his household are different from those of our own Father, so God teaches how to respect and honor those differences in a Fathers commandments. Thank you Allen for all you gave me, taught me and showed me in life always honoring your house your laws and your concerns. Thank you for the blessings and the honor of caring for your daughter, thank you for letting me give you love in grand children and great grandchildren. It has truly been an honor being your Son In Law. I will always honor your wishes and teach my children to obey a bond of separate family Laws. Thank you so much for all your love and respect. May you rest in peace and join your place in heaven with your Father.

Got to know Mr Espinoza and son Jeff (also now deceased) at local gym a few years ago. Come to find out that he was distant relative and related through my Mother's Gallegos lineage. Always very friendly, amicable and engaging. I always enjoyed his stories regarding his youth and the San Luis Valley and stories he shared regarding his service during the Korean War. Heartfelt condolences and sympathy to all of his relation. May you also find comfort in knowing that as a Veteran, He is Never Forgotten......
