  3. I am truly heartbroken for the loss of my uncle, your husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandpa. There are no words that I can say to make you feel better just know that he is drinking a beer with his brothers and other family members for they are having a glorious reunion. The bells are ringing for he is now an angel looking over all of you. I am thinking and praying for all of you, I will do a novena for Uncle Joe as I have for all that have passed prior to him in this family. God bless all of you, my heart is with each and everyone one of you. Love you all.

  11. Love and deepest sympathy to all the Alonzo family, in your loss. I will always have many great family memories, especially at “the farm”, as we were all growing up and other family get togethers. I did not know of his service to our country. That is quite a remarkable list of honors. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, at this very difficult time.
