The family of Joe Arado is very grateful and appreciative of our family, friends and neighbors who surrounded us with care and concern during his illness and passing.

Words are never enough to express our gratitude to the many loving and caring folks of Hospice of Montezuma County, the staff at the med/surg floor at SWMH, Ertel Funeral Home, the parishioners of St. Rita Church in Mancos, Rev. Pat Valdez CR, and the Veterans of Montezuma County for their tribute and beautiful ceremony.

Please know the cards, calls, dishes of delicious food and most especially, your presence are heartfelt and received with gratefulness.

Blessings to all,

Mary Alice Gonzales and the Arado family
