The family would like you to share lunch with them directly after services at the Parish Hall down town. Lunch will be pot luck. Please bring your favorite dish.
Following lunch we invite you to attend the dispersing of ashes at the point above Juanita on CR 500. There will be prayer and song. Directly after there will be a celebration of life.
Efren was a home builder, a coach and a mentor. He was known as a free spirit and was a man who lived life his way. An entertainer, a jokester, lover of music and cars; he lived life with no regrets. He was a friend to everyone he met and those who were lucky enough to meet him were blessed.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested you submit a memorial in his name at the Catholic Church. Prayers for Efren will be continued for nine months as well as on his anniversary of being called to be with the Creator.
