Dear Miroslava, Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Thanks for sharing the obituary of Adolfo's dad. What an amazing story and I am sorry I never got to meet him. Blessings to all of you.
I am wrting these lines on behalf of my mother, Maria P Douglas, my dad, Alphonse, and my nine brothers and sisters, remembering the wonderful man we knew as brother, brother in-law, and beloved Uncle, Adolfo B Perez. My mom remembers her brother, third oldest of eight children, always caring about his sibilings. As a young man, Adolfo was in the US Army and would always sennd money to help support his parents and brothers in Mexico. Later, he was instrumental in bringing them to San Antonio to live from Sabinas Hadilgo, Nuevo Leon. Adolfo hd a big heart, and was a very humble man. When Adolfo married his wife, Zoila, 58 years ago, in Sabinas Hidalgo, my mom wanted to come along with them to San Antonio for their honeymoon, and her brother was more than happy to bring his sister along ! In later years, Maria would marry and have ten children, while Adolfo and Zoila had five wonderful children. Adolfo and Zoila moved to Houston, Texas in hopes of finding a better life for his family where he would work as a truck driver, often times drivin to San Antonio. As the years went by the families would visit each other periodically. As his niece, what I remember most is this big giant of a man coming to visit in his big rig, and always bringing sweet bread and the best pies in Texas from Grumpy's ! He wassuch a gentle, loving man. As we became adults and had our own families we would continue visiting our uncle and aunt in Houston. Our uncle always had his door open to us and our aunt always had a wonderful home cooked meal for us. Our uncle often made his famous menudo for this motor cycle driving nephews ! These are just a few of the many memories we share of our beloved Tio Adolfo. Your sister Maria will miss you dearly as you were always there to lend an ear and give advice. Cousins, and Tia Zoila, know that we truly appreciate you sharing your husband and dad throughout the years. Our deepest condolences to all of you.
Sylvia and family, My condolences on the loss of your precious father.

I pray the memories you have of your father will bring you some comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Teri

Perez Family, We can only can image what you and your family are going thru at this time. We wish we had words to comfort you in your grief. But we know there are none that will take away any pain you have endured. We too know what it is to loose a parent and it is devastating. To bury your parent is to bury a substantial part of your past and that is a significant loss. But one learns to cope each day little by little when they are alone. Always remember all the good times you had with your father. Stay positive and remember your father is beside you every day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
My Grandpa was the exemplification of a stoic man. Wearing a heart upon his sleeve was hardly his fashion. I will always remember his spiritual presence as one who took life as it was and cut the air with his honesty and self-respect. My mental image of my Grandpa will always be as a man of the Earth for he was tied to the outdoors; and in being so, he sought quiet, peace, and meditation from being outside and sharing with me his tricks to make things thrive and grow. My Grandpa was simple and I will always love his spirit for I learned so much simply from being in his quiet, loving, and down-to-earth presence.
my heartfelt condolences to my aunt and all my cousins. You are each in my thouhts and prayers.
