My family and I would like to extend our deepest condolences on the passing of your dear father William. My parents and I fondly remember one summer when we drove from CA through Ajo and Mammoth to visit and meet a few of my father’s cousins. We stayed with your parent’s for a few days in Mammoth and also had an opportunity to spend time with Rudy & Helen. Your family treated us very well and we really enjoyed our visit with everyone. Your father will now be reunited with cousin Irmie and Rudy.

With Love & Prayers,
Lisa Salaiz & the Salaiz Family

I was Blessed to be able to stay with my Uncle Willie just two weeks ago. My stay brought back fond memories of staying with Aunt Ermie and Uncle Willie as a boy. The best times I can remember were spent with Uncle Willie and my cousin Rudy fishing. I hope Uncle Willie and Rudy are fishing together now.

My deepest condolences to my cousins Helen, Bobby and Nester and thier families.
