  My heartfelt condolences to the entire Morales’ family…my cousins.

   As I watched the tribute movie of Uncle Pochi’s life and family, I remembered the many times I saw my “godfather” at birthdays, weddings and other life events.
He was a strong figure in my life; strength of character, wisdom and a strong will to take care of his wife and family. I will miss his presence from afar. Rest In Peace, Uncle Pochi. 

Your Niece and Godchild,
Cecilia Lopez-Henderson 




We extend condolences to our family and pray for peace and comfort.

This is difficult to accept that the end of this chapter of our lives is closed. We all have such beautiful memories of time spent with grandpa and grandma and so many fun times in their home.  The memories we carry are a priceless gift and reminder to all of us, to cherish one another and the time we have together.  During a visit in 2021 with grandpa at the kitchen table in front of the window, I asked questions about his life.  I knew this day would come and I wanted to know more. All he achieved, was on a 3rd grade education. He didn’t know the alphabet. He survived on coffee when he had no money to eat. He traveled to pick crops in CA, worked as a janitor and  his career in sheet metal was by chance and almost didn’t happen. He built a beautiful life for his beloved wife and his children.  Grandpa was so brave, strong, hard working, sacrificed all for his family, faithful to God, persevered through adversity while looking out and providing for others. He was a humble man that never showed off or complained.  I have so much respect and admiration for my Grandpa and consider myself so blessed and thankful to be born into this beautiful family. I will do my best to be like you and keep your spirit alive until we meet again. THANK YOU for all you did for us. 

I have countless beautiful memories with Mr. Morales that I will forever cherish. It brings me great joy knowing that He is rejoicing with the Lord as well as with the love of his life, Mrs. Morales. I love them both!

So thankful Grandpa was able to meet Luke, our newest addition! 💙

One of the last times my girls and I went to visit him at Good Samaritan, we took him cookies and of course he shared with the girls but my younger daughter, Claire, dropped her cookie and started crying but he was so sweet to her and gave her another cookie and made her smile. My older daughter, Olivia reminded me of this story the other day and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so thankful to have these sweet memories with such a great man! I know he is rejoicing with Jesus and is reunited with our beautiful Grandma, and I look forward to the day when I will see them again! 

Grandpa always held such a special place in my heart and always will. I have such fond memories as a kid spending every holiday at their house as well as going over to their house after church on Sundays. It was so much fun playing games with my brother, sister and of course cousins! As wonderful as my childhood memories were with Grandpa, I truly cherish getting to know him as an adult. After I moved back to El Paso when I finished school, I was able to go over to Grandma and Grandpa’s regularly and it was so special every time. 
I loved hearing his stories about when he worked in sheet metal and about his kids growing up in California. We always had coffee and I would usually bring some kind of goody :) to go with it. He was so kind and always made me smile and laugh! 

Our deepest condolences and prayers to all The Morales Family. R.I.P. Poche.       The Dominguez and Grijalva family. 

Dad it’s been a week ago today that you went to your heavenly home.
I miss you so much! I knew someday that day would come, but I didn’t want to face it😞
My only consolation is that I got to spend the last two weeks of your earthly life. You had a burst of energy the first day I arrived we even went for a walk and you were in awe of the beautiful day and sunshine ☀️ I  wanted that moment to last forever. The Lord had a different plan and he was preparing me. My days were numbered and came that day I had to go back home. Something was different on Monday April 10, 2023🛩when I boarded my plane. You took your final breath and you went to embrace everything heaven holds for you. Your crown must be heavy for a job well done. The Lord must have said “ Well done my faithful Son”.  Dad it is finished for you!
My peace ☮️ is knowing you’re at peace and all is well. May you be rejoicing with all the angels and your familia💐❤️🙏😇🥰
I am so grateful and thankful to be called your Daughter Gloria Pearl..

Celebrating his 90th birthday on Halloween. We even made a costume for him. He chuckled while he wore it. Best memory.

Christmas 2022. Grandpa asked me for tamales so the next visit I brought tamales.

We had the great privilege to celebrate Grandpa’s Halloween Day- 90th birthday together. We even got him in a costume. 
He chuckled while he was wearing the paper bag on his head. Great memory!

One of my best memories of Grandpa is coming down to Tucson when they had Their second house here during Halloween 🎃 and auntie Sylvia and my Mom would have a Halloween party at her house and we would open the garage door at auntie Sylvia's house in Tucson and grandpa would help pass out candy to the children in the neighborhood.
