While we appreciate the gesture of flowers, unfortunately the Fort Sam National Cemetery does not allow floral arrangements at the burial site so all flowers will be left at the church.

Therefore, we graciously ask that you refrain from sending flowers and if your heart wants to honor Amador in another way, feel free to consider making a donation in lieu of flowers instead to either the: San Antonio/So. Texas Chapter of the Alzeheimer’s Association, https://www.alz.org/sanantonio?set=1 or St. Bonaventure Church, 1918 Palo Alto Rd, San Antonio, TX 78211, where he served as a dedicated Deacon for the community since 1984
