Tony you were best of the best. You never said no, it was always I'm on my way. You were the best stepdad anyone could've ever wanted in their lives.I was always proud to say thats my dad. I'm going to miss baking your favorite coconut cake and eating the ice cream cakes we enjoyed together. I could not thank you enough for you or for all you done for me. I am going to miss you, but never forget you. I Love You and was very honored to be you stepdaughter

My condolence to aunt Mary Agnes and family. To Tia Cora Medina his sister and tios Joe and Frank Medina his brothers. Can't help go down memory lane hearing you play and singing "Sally Was A Good Old Girl" and your fast version of "Rock-a-Bye Baby in the Treetop" Your first hit record, Yea!. Those were the days when we all gathered around to hear you uncles sing . I believe I have that reel. I need to get out that old recorder and hear it. I am so grateful for all your help throughout the years, helping me find my first apartment in the "big city" of Colorado Springs, for being my compadre, all the visits. The crazy phrases you'd come up with and that laughter.

Christ arose physically, and for this reason so will we. Our new bodies will be like Jesus' new body (Philippians 3:21). Christ will know us individually in Heaven, and so we will know others we love. When there, give my "love, hug and hello" to my Grandpa Serapio and Grandma Escolestica. My dad Juan Martinez and your sister Maria (my mom). My uncles: Mike, Hube, Serapio Jr, and Paul Medina. My aunts Maria Eulojia and Mabel Medina who died at birth. My aunts Dorothy and Madaline and all the relatives that have gone before us. Tell them to pray for us and someday we will all be together again. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

My love and prayers siempre,

June Bausman
