Rest in peace lil brother

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of my parents (Benito Gonzalez/ Naomi Rivera) and siblings (Monica & Benito jr) for your love, prayers and contributions during this difficult time for our family. I wanted give you an update and let you know that our loved one was indeed cremated against our wishes on behalf of his estranged wife. We were excluded from the planning of the service and were even told we would be escorted out if we showed up. My parents were even excluded from their sons obituary and our aunt and uncle were listed as his parents and their children as his siblings, adding insult to injury. http://www.lindquistmortuary.com/obits/obituary.php?id=467234

God is the best of planners and to keep the peace for the two young boys my brother left behind (Joaquin jr & Isaiah) we did not make the trip to Utah, although most of us tried as hard as we could. It was not Gods will that we attend that service however we are planning a memorial for him in about 3 weeks in the South-Chicagoland area God-willing. Our parents will be in attendance along with his siblings, nieces and nephews and we invite friends and loved ones to join if possible. I will forward exact date and location as soon as possible. We plan to celebrate his life, offer an opportunity for closure for some and appreciate each other as a whole. Again, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you and I will send out the memorials information as soon as the details are finalized.
