The Martinez Family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Covenant Hospital, along with the doctors, nurses, and staff for their care and compassion shown to our beloved Uncle Juan.  We would also like to thank our incredibly wonderful family Benavidez for their love, support, hospitality, generosity.  They provided a tremendous light of serenity and peace during our days of great sadness.  To all family members and friends that have donated, sent condolences, love and prayer, there are no sufficient words to express our gratitude.  We appreciate and love every one of you. God bless you.
