Robert Valenzuela,

Rich & I would like to extend our deepest sorrow at the loss of Robert. It was always good to see him bowling. May you be comforted by friends, family, and God at this time.

Tina,Kelly, Bobby, Nichole and Leonardo, My heart is filled with sadness with Robert's passing but at the same time with the joy of knowing he is with God now and pain free. God Blessed us all with nearly 28 years of having Robert inour lives, and for that I am thankful. As hard as it is to say goodbye, and as much as it hurts not to have him here, I am thankful for the memories I have of him and of all of you as a family who lived... laughed.. and loved together. One day you will all be joined in Heaven again, he just had to go ahead of you all and set up the karaoke machine, and the bowling pins! God bless you and comfort you all, I wish I could extend our sympathy in person but Texas is just too far away! Love to you all! ~Baby Jenny, Greg, Alex & Gus Arvin

Hmmm, I don't even know what to say. I can't believe you are gone Robert. I only saw you a couple times a year, however, everytime I saw you I was happy to get to sit and visit with you even if it was only for a moment. I want to thank you for going fishing with me when I was craving nature, for getting me home safe and sound when I had too much to drink, and also, thank you for all you and Nardo did for Legacy and Elwood. Even though their time out there had to come to an end, I know that you two were the best friends I could have ever asked for them to have when I was no longer able to care for them. Thank you again for that buddy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Robert, we were blessed with your spirit and presence. Now we celebrate your freedom and triumph, as we mourn for your family and friends in their loss. I was privileged to be around Robert, Leonardo, and Augie dring my years in the Shepherd Schools and am left with bright memories that bring a smile to my heart. May God bless and conmfort all of Robert's family and many many friends.
