Growing up in our small town of Mercedes, Tx, I didn´t know of anyone, who did not know of Pinky. I was younger than him by 8 or 9 years but, to me, he was larger than life. He always had a smile and a hug for his friends. Later, when he visit our home, Alfonso, our sons, and Pinky for talk for hours. He was so proud of his talented wife and he was devoted to his daughter. He would beam with fatherly pride when he would share her latest accomplishments. I pray God bring the family comfort and understanding. I pray God ease the burden of their grief, as they celebrate Pinky's life. RiP, Pinky.

Pinky was extraordinary. He was a one liner trend setter. He would say a line and it was so cool that it became a trend in school and beyond. That was indeed a gift.
He visited us when his daughter was about to start dating. He had concerns like any dad would have. It was a good visit. At a point in his life, his faith grew to the highest level. God was his guide.
Pinky loved his family dearly. He shared many rich memories with us.
The "rat pack" of MHS like Panson, Chaparro, Flecha, Coche,
Pinky and others, were living legends to us under classmen.
Few are left. RIP Pinky.

Our deepest condolences to the Romero and Rivera families. May Jesus Christ open heaven for Lupe and receive him into His loving arms. We knew him since our school days in Mercedes and remember him as being a joyful person who loved to joke. Lupe was full of life. Lucy and family, know our prayers and thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. May the Holy Spirit bring you strength and peace. God's blessings always!
