Dear Bunny and Family,
I will never forget the times our family sat on Auntie Annies porch.
When Mooch and Esther were together it was a laugh a minute.
I am so sorry for your loss and hope the memories you all have will keep you strong in this dark hour.
In my mind I see all the crazy family members and they were ALWAYS laughing.
I wish we could turn back the clock.
Love to you all,
Linda Martella Everetts
Bunny,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Bunny, I am so sorry to hear of Mooch’s passing. He was always such a character when we were all growing up. I always loved to go to Aunt Annies home such a fun time. His sense of humor was something else. My heart goes out to you, Debbie, Cathy & Jim. My prayers are with you all.
Love, Alberta
Beverly (Bunny) and Family
My heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your beloved husband and father, and my very dear friend. We had many good times together, shared many laughs (especially at Mooch’s antics). I remember a visit to Pueblo and Mooch grabbed my son, John, and kissed him on the lips. Needless to say John was non-plussed being the quiet one of the family. My prayers and thoughts are with you and I send you all my love. Hugs and kisses and lots of love. Debbie, I am still your Godmother and Bunny, you are still Frank’s Godmother. God Bless

Dear Bunny,
Even though I didn’t know Mooch or you for very long, you were both easy to get to know and like.
Joe, who has known Mooch for a long time, says he’s going to really miss his buddy.
I can’t imagine how difficult this time must be for you,losing someone who has been a part of your life for so long. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
After reading the obituary in the paper and noticing that Mooch’s mom was Anna Mastro, if this is the same Anna Mastro that lived on the corner of Beulah & Arroyo, she was my Godmother. My mom Velma Power and Anna Mastro, my Godmother, worked together at the CF&I for many years and then were neighbors on Beulah. If this is the same person, it truly is a small world. I loved Anna.
God bless you and your family,
Joe & Ruth Taravella
Bunny, so sorry to hear about Mooch. It has been years since I have seen either of you.
Wishing you and your family strength & peace in your time of sorrow.
Warmest regards,
Carol
My sincerest condolences to Aunt Bunny, Debbie, Cathy and Jim. Uncle Mooch was a good man and will be sorely missed by family and his coffee drinking buddies.
I didn’t get to visit as much as I should have and that’s on me. His home was always open and I appreciate his continued interest in Jared and Joshua’s lives.
God bless.
Frank
