See Condolences

Tío Carlos May you Rest In Peace. I have memories as a kid of you always doing an Elvis impersonations at our family party’s. You would pop your collar and stand in position till Elvis song came on and sometime you would have a prop for a guitar 🎸 and sometime you would just pretend😊. I guess you couldn’t remember me and my sister’s name so you nicknamed us chilly willie #1 which is my sister and I’m chilly willie #2 lol. Also, you would want me and my sister to pull your hair as kids. Even if we pulled as hard as we could you would still say pull harder lol. I remember you would always pop your bones like your neck, back and your arms which by the way I have those habits now. And you would relax sometimes by smoking a cigar and having a drink. Since you use to work as a bartender you would make great drink I remember salty dog and sunrise mix drinks and my husband Chapa says you showed him how to make a ice cream shot. I love and will miss you Tío I will always be your chili willie #2
