Our heart felt condolences to Martha and the entire Quijada family. Sungie was a high school friend and part of our wedding Party. It was good to spend some time with Sungie at the 50th reunion of our Yuma High class of 1966. You are in our prayers. Rest in Peace Sungie.
God Bless, Jerry & Jeannette

To Martha and all of Manuel’s family and friends. I knew Manuel from the Peoria Special Needs program. Manuel was one of the nicest people, so caring for others. He had a great fun personality and was glad to call him my friend. He was loved and cherished by so many. I have found memories of a group of people who shared a special friendship. Godspeed Manuel.
