My deepest condolences to The Vela family God Almighty give you the strength and peace you need. Love always Laura
Minerva and family, Please accept our most sincere condolences on your great loss of our Primo Lupe. We will always remember him as the one that looked like our Dad, Oscar B. Garza. During our childhood I remember Lupe as a kind-hearted and gentle-soul young man. I remember our Dad used to tell me that Lupe would one day be a major league baseball player because he loved baseball, And how he would cross Zacate Creek everyday to attend mass at Guadalupe Church, As we grew up we lost track of most of our relatives as we pursued our careers and raised our families. So much for the good memories. My brother, Jorge "GAR" Garza and I are experiencing some health issues that limit our mobility thus prohibiting us from being with you all at the services. El Primo Lupe and your family will be in our prayers. Vaya con Dios, Primo.
To the family of Vela. Please accept my condolenses for your loss. May you find comfort in God's promise about the future earthly esurection at John 6:40 11:24-26
Dad we will miss you dearly life just won’t be the same without your beautiful heart and loving energy, you will be deeply missed and will be forever in our hearts.❤️
Dad there are no words to describe how hard this day has been but we are also at peace knowing that you are now with your parents and brothers, we will miss you dearly.?
