My grandfather is going to be greatly missed, but his example will live on forever! He taught us to work hard to reach our goals, and most importantly he was a man of faith. I will never forget how he kindly welcomed us with the smell of his delicious cooking. His famous "pastes" were my favorite of his food specialities. I will keep his memory in my heart, and I will not forget how he greeted me by saying, "Pero que estas hacienda, mi Anis..."
Baby Eryen will get to know his great-grandpa by the collection of photos, videos, and memories we have to share about this amazing father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. We love you very much!!! I dedicate this song to our family to help us get through the loss of our loving Augustin Valdez.
Love & The Outcome - He Is With Us Lyrics
"We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always"

Mr. Valdez was a warm, friendly gentleman - a friend to many who will miss him dearly. May the memories of him keep everyone strong! His spirit lives on through his family & friends who knew him well. Ken and I were blessed to have known Mr. Valdez for approx. 30 years. Love to all!!!
