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.
So sorry for your loss. He sounded like a GREAT man! Our freedom for his service. Prayers go out to all of your family.
My deepest condolences to the entire Alonzo Family. My memories of Mr. Alonzo go back over 50 years. I’m praying now for peace and strength for all of his loved ones during this difficult time. May he now rest in the loving arms of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
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.
I extend our gratitude to all of my Dad’s friends and family for your loving thoughts and support. He will be missed but his life lessons will live on.
Deepest sympathy to Jan and the family at this sorrowful time. We remember all the good times when we were neighbors in Buckley Meadows. May the good Lord comfort you now. ❤️
