"Thanks to my cousin, Patty Sandoval Sralla, I just received this very sad notice and obituary of our dear friend, Brian.....
I had been trying to locate Brian to let him know that our wonderful son, Joe J. Perez, had died of Lymphoma of the Central Nervous System in Vienna, Austria, on December 14, 2012.
Joe and Brian were great friends in McAllen, Texas, and would spend many hours building model airplanes in our garage....
Unfortunately, both my husband and I had tried to locate Brian many times and were not successful. I had wanted to see Brian and reminisce about the wonderful times when he and Joe were friends in high school. Sadly, that is not to be.
My email address is margotperez593@yahoo.com....please let me know if Brian ever talked about his friend, Joe J. Perez from his high school days in McAllen, Texas.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I am sure that you, as we, are grateful for the time that Brian and Joe were in our lives.
Warmest regards,
Margot R. Perez"
