To my Sweet Tio ,the talks we had meant everything to me . You probably didn't realized how much they helped me. Some of my fondest memories as a child were with you and the family. And its funny every time I go by a ice cream shop I think of you. Love you dearly.

I enjoyed many Sunday afternoons at the Sauceda home after church. I have very many great memories with his family. Brother Sauceda loved sharing God's word with everyone he met. I have and will always remember his kind smile. My sympathy goes out to his family who have a dear place in my heart.

Dear Maria and family... I have always cherished the time spent with your family as neighbors and friends. I don't think Narciso ever met an enemy... he was always so kind and a true friend to all. He will be missed. It has been 19 years today since we lost Bob, so I feel your pain... treasure the memories. Much love, Nancy
