Grandpa Olivares, you will be greatly missed but you leave behind a wonderful family legacy. I am sad to see you go but am comforted by the fact that you will be greeted by those who have gone before you and love you just as much as those you left behind. I know you will be watching over all of us and that we will see you again.

For the family, I am sorry I cannot be there right now but know my heart is always with you and though grandpa is no longer physically here his spirit will be with us always.

Love you all,
Michyle

To the Olivares family,

I am saddened by the loss of Jesus. He was a fine gentleman and was always present and available to the community of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I remember Jesus because he displayed a gentle spirit.
Maria and family, my prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of saddness.

Sincerely,
Emilio and Patricia Reyes

Oliveras family: Your father's departure found its way into my dream last night, many years since the last time I've seen the family. In a dream, we were all waiting at your house for the family to come back from some gathering. I woke up wondering, Why am I dreaming of the Oliveras family? On my Sunday call to my Mom, she told me why. There's a lot more going on in this world than we know or understand. Mr. Oliveras remains in my mind -- and surely in many others' -- a smiling presence with a funny story to tell. God speed, and God remain a comfort to bless Mrs. Oliveras and the rest of the family.
