Dad,
We were blessed to have had you around for 90 years. You and mom were the best parents we could have asked for.
You taught us to be strong, yet humble and kind. You taught us to fight for our rights, stand strong, and not let anyone take advantage of us.
During your 21 year tour in the United States Army, we got to experience a lot and see the world. We were very proud of you.
Thank you for all you did for us. Give mom and Fred a big hug and kiss for us.
Love you dad. Your daughter Patricia and Joel Garcia. ❤️❤️✝️

Dad,we knew this day would come,it hurts. But with the strength you instilled in us,we will go on! Growing up was fun because we met different people each time you were stationed at a different base. We didn't lack for anything. We were raised with morals, strength, and compassion, thank you Dad. Tell mama and Fred we will always love them. Barbara and Ruben Aguilar.

Fred, you will forever be missed and will always be in our hearts. You were a kind, loving, strong and funny person. Always making us laugh and telling us the stories from your Army days and where you traveled and the people you met. I will miss you waiting for me to come into town to take you and mom fishing. I know you are in heaven catching the big ones that got away. We will always miss you. ❤️❤️✝️

Grandpa,
We want you to know that we treasure every moment we had with you and grandma in our lives. You were always trying to wrestle with us, while grandma was behind you telling you not to hurt us. We still have all our good memories. You are now up in heaven and at peace with grandma and our uncle Fred. We love you.
Your grandsons Omar & Phillip Serna, your great grandchildren & your great great grandchildren.

My great grandpa,
Man you were one of a kind, a wild one.
Every memory I have is a great one. Some of my best ones are you and grandma just talking to me, giving me some of your time and smiling those smiles mean everthing to me. Always laughing and telling jokes. I like to think that’s where I get my sense of humor. We are always the funniest in the room. I’m so thankful for the time i had with you and grandma. I always knew that when I was there I was safe, I was loved and I was wanted. Give grandma a big hug and kiss for me please. Lord knows I miss her. Thanks for showing me what it was to have such special grandparents like y’all. I’ve been so lucky.
