Dear Becky and family, We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful husband Manolo. He was such a great friend to me all those years working together for the cable companies in Laredo. I will always remember his jokes, his stories, and especially his laugh. Company parties and get togethers were so enjoyable with him in our midst. His good nature made it easier to get our work done especially in the Laredo heat. May Manolo rest in peace in the Eternal Kingdom with our Heavenly Father. God bless you and all your family. Sincerely, Enrique and Martha Rubio Liberty Hill, Texas

Que el señor les conceda a toda la familia, paz y consuelo en esté tiempo tan difícil. Mi más sentido pésame Descanse en Paz Tío Manolo No fue mi tío de sangre pero si de corazón. Siempre estaré agradecida con el y tía Becky por toda la ayuda que nos dieron.
