To the Magdaleno Family

I still remember Aida's beautiful smile and her hard work ethic from when she was a fifth grade student in my class at Arroyo West - such a beautiful girl inside and out. I was so proud to hear that she was attending college and continuing to strive to meet her potential. I also remember fondly Gaby and Miguel as students, and what a loving and hardworking family they came from. Gaby - our schools need compassionate and motivated counselors like you - I wish you the best in your endeavors. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

God bless you.

No consolation is enough but I Pray that God's peace fills all, replace all hurt, comfort all of the family and friends. May God comfort his soul and give him rest in the bosom of Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the place where tears and hurt are found no more.

1 Corinthians 15:12-22

12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Doyle was the perfect father. Our daughters were best friends. He was a well respected business owner, homeschool father, provider and friend. He loved his family deeply, always finding time to spend with them. His life set an example for me of what a Godly father should be. His life was a living testament of the love God has for us. I will miss him greatly.

Chris was a great co worker at Adelphia Communications, his great sense of humor, quick wit and sarcasm made it extra fun to be around him when there were stressful times at work and I even gave him a nickname Chris Acky-Breaky-heart..I really enjoyed working with him. Chris will not be forgotten by all that knew him..My thoughts and prayers go out to his Family at this difficult time.

Dennis and I shared a lot in common. Our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; our imployment at Rocketdyne; our work together on a special project at work; our faith that life continues after death; our hope to return to our Heavenly Father.
Dennis was a gentle man who was soft spoken and kind with a listening ear.
I will miss him but look forward to our reunion some time in the future.
May Heavenly Father give comfort to his family and friends with the knowledge that he will live again as promised by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Dear Berry and Cliff,

Your dad was a very special man. We met him and your mom when we were all members of the temple, Your mother and I were pregnant with Berry and Ashley. That as you know was 28 years ago. We didn't see much of each other in the last few years, but I did run into him every so often and there was always a hug and catch up on what has been happening.

He was so friendly and the world will miss his smiling face and good nature.
