Paul, Paul Jr., Mike, Brian and Carl I’m sorry for your loss and I’m sorry I was not there for the Funeral. I was out of town and Mom told me about it over the phone. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. We had so much fun together when we were kids mainly running from your German Shepard. Take care and God Bless.
Our deepest sympathy from your friends at Cobbs Recycling Center.
May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.
So sorry for your loss Mr. Castillo and sons. I loved Mrs. Castillo and she always had a smile on her face. I remember Mr. Castillo walking with her after her stroke much like Daddy did when Mom had her stroke. She is in heaven with Daddy watching us all.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Linda was a huge part of my childhood and I probably wouldn’t be the person I am today without her. I’ll always remember her smiling and getting on to me all while drinking her Dr. Pepper. My prayers are with all the family.
I am so soory for your great loss.
Love ya Pat
I’m so sorry to hear about Linda. My Dad,Johnny, forgets to tell us these family things. I remember Linda as a vivacious, redhaired teenager, dancing to rock & roll music. We rarely saw each other, but I never forgot this memory. My sympathy to her family. May peace be with you.
Dear Big Paul, Little Paul, Mike and Lezlie, Brian and Jill, and Carl Lynn and Leslie,
Tracie and I want you to know how very sorry we are about Linda’s death.
She was always sweet to us and we loved her.
May God bless and comfort you.
Love,
Tracie and Yeada
