Mr Aguilar and Family

I am Ramona Vigil's daughter and was so sorry to hear of Mrs Aguilar's passing. She was a wonderful person--a true mentor. Without her guidance and patience I wouldn't have gotten this far in life. May God Bless and comfort you.

Dear Tio Abe, and my wonderful cousins, We will truly miss such a wonderful, hospitable Tia, she always made us feel welcome during our visits as children. And as I grew up and had children of my own, she was kind and special to them. I look forward to seeing her with my own family in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
May God Bless you, Love Aileen, David, Stephen, Bobbie, Willie and Issak.
