Mario Aranda

I will miss you, Papi. Thanks for always trying your best. I love you. You were the best grandpa and papi ever.

I always remember him for his famous saying let brotherly love continue. He always had a smile on his face and always showed the love of God.

Papa Mario, you were one amazing Papa. I would brag about you constantly and how cool you were. I remember your laughter like I heard it yesterday and the warmth in your hugs. I remember when you'd come to our house you tease us with the guinea pigs going "quy quy quy." With a big Ole smile on your face. I tell that story to everyone. You are loved deeply and will be remembered fondly. Your with our heavenly father now and I know you are watching down on us keeping us safe. Stay flying high Papa Mario and when the time comes we'll be there with you.

We are heartbroken so sorry for your loss, Stella. We loved Manuel so much. Manuel was my first true friend as an adult. We worked together in the Audit Department at National Bank of Alaska in Anchorage, and then together preparing income taxes at Fields and Aranda Ltd. The family would go on hikes in the Alaska wild with Manuel. He loved it so much! We are happy he is with our Lord Jesus, the Apostles, and Abba Father dancing and singing around the throne. We wish we could have met one last time, but alas, miles kept us apart. He was always on my mind for one reason or another. We’ll always have Alaska and new Mexico memories. We’ll keep you and the family in prayer!!! Love you‼️ Steve & Kathy Fields

Sis. Aranda, James, Saen and LaDessa, We love you and hold very dear our memories of the time you were in Albany. We loved Bro. Aranda so much! He was always a bright spot of encouragement to all of us. God bless you, you will be in our prayers in coming days.--Pastor Johnson and Sis. Valda
