Paula and family,

I want to extend my sorrow to you and send you my deepest condolences for the loss of your son Arnold. We will all miss him and his laughter. I remember when he was 10 coming over with you and always so loving kissing my hand and sharing his cheer everywhere he went. He will be missed and most of all we can say, “He will be missed and remembered for the joy he left us in our hearts.”

I will keep you and your family in my prayers,

My condolences to the Ochoa Family. I knew Arnold from the old neighborhood. We rode together in the school bus. Always happy, with a big smile and very friendly. My last memory of him is when I was driving by Victor Fields one day and he was walking by his house, I honked at him and screamed out his name "Arnold" and he, with his big smile waved bye to me.

God bless you and be with you in your time of need.

I am terribly sorry for your huge loss. Unfortunately, this is the nature of life, we all have a day to say goodbye to every one. But missing him is bad. I hope God will support you all to remember him and every good memory he left behind. We pray to God to forgive him for any sin he had commit and rest him in heaven, where he would be an angel there and he would pray for us then.

Abuela,
I heard of the bad news, and I wanted to say how very sorry I am. I remember Tio Arnold very well and I only wish that I got to spend more time with him. I know nothing I say will make you miss him any less, but he is with our God now waiting to receive us when we arrive.
