I am deeply sorry for your loss, there are no words that I can say that will make the pain and sorrow you feel presently any easier, only time will do that. Your family is in my prayers, and I feel that where he is now he is happy, at peace, feels no more pain and is chatting it up with my grandfather, they were very good friends, as is our whole family and I have beautiful memories of when I used to go over and visit when I was a child. May he rest in peace and I pray that God helps to heal your hearts and know that you now have a guardian angel looking over you. God bless you all.

To the entire Chavarria Family,

There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy in your time of mourning the loss of"Tio" Carlitos.

Our families have had a long-standing friendship and affection for each other. Our parents were dear friends and "compadres". Now they will be together once again, looking down on us and making sure we are safe and "behaving".

We have fond memories that we will always treasure and they will always be in our hearts.

Our deepest sympathy to each of you and may you be comforted by all the memories and good times. We recall very well - their 50th wedding anniversary, when we and our mom were able to be with them, this was a great time!

Affectionately,

Esthela Quiroga
The entire Quiroga Family
Petrita, Jose, Diana, Cristina and Jose I. DeLeon
