We have been saddened by the news of the passing of our Tio Adan, which we all loved deeply. We have fond memories of his visits throughout our lifetime. We regret not being able to attend his funeral, but are glad we got to spend time at his home last summer. We will be praying for our cousins, and hope to continue the relationship that has been established by our Tio Adan. We will keep you in our hearts forever.

Love Always,
Arturo, Emily, Artie, and Christa Alva

We are very saddened by the death of our Tio. We have very fond memories of his visits to our home in Laredo. We loved having him visit and as usual, it was a suprise visit. We will keep our cousins in our prayers and pray that their sadness be lightened by the fact that Tio led a full and productive life. He was a great Tio. God Bless.
