May you rest in peace and watch over us, so we may have strength and courage to never forget the memories, the laughter, and most of all the love we have been blessed to share with you. Avo, which is what your grandchildren knew you as, they will never be able to replace the love they shared with you. Please be their angel and star in the sky, which will watch over them. Rest in Peace, Our Love CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
