My name is Candida and I can honestly say that my brothers and I are in the position in which no one is ever prepared to be. In saying that, with a heavy heart, we have lost a father, grandfather, son, brother, brother-in-law and anyone who had the blessing of having met Carlos Valdez Sr.... Even though the Valdez family is a strong one, ok stubborn at times, this will be a very difficult time but we will pull together and give our father the farewell he deserves. The need is there and I believe with my whole heart that our needs will be fulfilled with great compassion by our Creator and he will provide. We are still in the process of finalizing the details and will provide notification as soon as possible.
On behalf of my brothers, Carlos Valdez Jr and Nick Valdez, we greatly appreciate all the heartwarming and sincere condolences.

Righteous are You, Hashem, to bring death and to resuscitate, for in Your hand is the safekeeping of all spirits. it would be sacrilegious for You to erase our memory. May Your eyes mercifully take cognizance of us, for Yours, O Master, are mercy and forgiveness.
