As you all know, we are currently going through an incredibly difficult and challenging time in our lives with the loss of our beloved mother and wife, Barbara Gaona.
We would like to take a deep breath, and a brief moment, to thank everyone for your very kind sympathy and prayers, your visits, calls and flowers, and for all of the kindness you have showered us with during this time of loss.
We would also like to extend our special thanks to Patti and Gina Bocardo for the amazing hair and makeup (mom would be proud), Pastor Jay for the beautiful service and his daughter Jean for her amazing voice and song choice. Aviant Hospice for the remarkable care you provided to our precious Barbara during her last days.
Thank you to Ronnie and Gloria Gaona, Terry Gaona, Chris and Tammy Canizales, Don and Angela Earven, Emily, Hailey, Anissa, Thierry, Sean and Class of 1969. And, huge thanks to Dick’s Broasted Chicken, Judy’s Cookhouse, Rosette Law, Arizona State Hospital-Sago Unit and Fruth Group.
Each of you has shed a little sunshine and warmth on our family during what we can only describe as a devastating life experience. Thanks everyone for your support; the kindness you have shown to our family has not gone unnoticed and is very greatly and sincerely appreciated!
Sincerely,
Michael Gaona, Sammy and Gina Lopez, Monica Lopez, and Frank and Christian Cienfuegos
