Para la Familia Casas :
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. What a simple and loving man you all had as a father and husband.
My family and I loved and respected him for who he was ; what he did for you all, and what a kind heart he had for those around him.
Remembering my parents's Compadre, is a joy. Filled with compassion for all , his weekly visits to our home with your mom , and kids in tow, were always a joy in the delaRosa's home.
Our delight when he would stop in and handed us grapefruits, oranges, or even pan de dulce. What a man with the kindness of heart.
He was truly our dad's ( El Guero), best friend. One who believed in just living our Lord's way..That's it!
What he always wanted was to live and give his family a good life..and that He did. We will miss him. Always in our prayers, and still thinking that he is up above drinking his cup of coffee with his compadre and eating tacos with our sister, Juanita (Chata).
With much love and respect.
Please keep in touch.
In Christ...
