I just wanted to express my condolences to all of the Ontiveros family. Growing up in the same neighborhood I have very happy memories of everyone there. Even though those happy memories were saddened by my mom's passing two years ago. I have since moved out of state but I always think of everyone.May God bless and comfort each and everyone in this difficult time. Our prayers are with you all. God Bless You
