In the time since Uncle Joes passing, we have lost so many others from our family tree, including his son, my cousin, Harold. It is with heavy heart, but loving memories that we go forth into this world carrying on with life in hopes that we serve as a shining example of these great people.

My deepest condolence to Marvine and family. Joe was a kind, loving man. We will miss him, his smile, a handshake and hug when we would see him at the store! He was wonderful to my sister's family all the years that they rented the house next door. He treated George, Charlotte, Melissa and Jennifer as family and extended his friendship to all of our family. Joe's loving kindness everyday and especially when George passed away will always be a special memory to all of us.

The Earth Shall Soon

Dissolve Like Snow

The Sun Forebear To Shine

But God Who Called

Me Here Below

Will Be Forever Mine.



Yes When This Flesh

And Heart Shall Fail.

And Mortal Life

Shall Cease

I Shall Posses

Within The Vail

A Life Of Joy

And Peace



Amazing Grace

How Sweet The Sound

That Saved A Wrench

Like Me!

I Once Was Lost

But Now Im Found

Was Blind But Now

I See.

My condolences to Marvine, Harold and family. My heartfelt sympathy to my aunts and cousins in New Mexico, to the people of Vallecitos, who still remember Uncle Joe (Chita) with such fond memories. We will also miss him, but we will never forget his ambition, hard working values, and the example he set forth for all of us. Grandma DeVargas was very proud of him. Her love for him will serve as an example for all of us in rearing our children.
