On behalf of the Glorioso family in Chicago, we would like to send our deepest condolences to our family in Texas. Our uncle was a beautiful man, and although we didn’t share as much time with him, what memories we do have we will cherish. We would like to thank Lali for taking care of him, and those that spent time playing Loteria with him. I’m sure he was forever grateful. May he rest in peace with those that passed on before him. ~Love the Glorioso Family
May you Rest in Eternal Peace, Thank you for your service to our Country and now it is time to enjoy yourself in Heaven, In Jesus Precious name I Pray!!
