My deepest sympathy to the Contreras family during this very difficult time. Uncle Spooks was a very special man and had a huge heart - I have nothing but fond memories of him.

Uncle Spooks showed up to my Dad's house after Mom passed in December, he brought a special Christmas poem to share with the family. It was so touching and we have it framed at Dad's house next to Mom's picture. That poem will forever be a part of our lives. Thank you Uncle Spooks for your sympathy & kindness - at the time, I would have never guessed you would be joining Mom so soon.

May God Bless the entire family and may you find comfort in the wonderful memories of Uncle Spooks.
I will miss him dearly.

Thanks for you friendship. The talks about the Lord, all the great thing you did for the church by work. The burrito's you brought to work for us. As I said before you are a lucky man, your wife made the best burrito's and now you are in the presence of our Lord. You will be missed greatly down here on earth by all the people you have touched.
