Dear Family,
Emilio & I worked together at Open Arms & Project Trust(Grace Church CC.) During that time we shared many interesting discussions about alcoholism and addiction since we were both CASAC's. I was impressed by his caring & concern for those suffering from the disease. May God bless you and help you with this loss. Emilio will be missed by many.
Fondly,
Mickey Stagg
