Hey Roxy,
I thought about you the other day while I was jamming to music. It seems like yesterday when I ran into you at Bookpeople on Lamar. You were looking at art and astrology books. I laughed at your paint stained cargo pants. I bet the record stores in heaven are awesome! I can picture you doing an all vinyl DJ set and having a good time. We will meet again. You made a friend forever.
Sincerely,
Albert Martinez

Mr. Arredondo and Family
I had the pleasure to work with Roxy for about a year and I always had a great time talking to her.Roxy was extremely intelligent and had a great passion for art and music and the fact that she had the most unique way of talking not just words, eyes, face gestures and body language it always made the conversation more interesting.
Mr. Arredondo & Family it brings a great deal of sadness to hear about your daughter my deepest condolences and prayers to you all.
When someone you love becomes a memory, The memory becomes a treasure.
