The family would like to give out a special thanks to Valley View Assisted Living Facility for the loving care that they provided over the last 2 plus years. The staff in Memory care are an amazing group of people who truly cared about Tony and without their help the last few weeks would have been unbearable. Additionally I can not say enough about the support and help Tony received from Rosie Cobarrubias, Hilda Espinoza and Lalo Sandoval who spent endless hours at his bedside. They are truly angels.
