"I offer our sincerest condolences and prayers to the Cervantez and Urrea families from Roger C Romero and family. We all know that those of us that were born in Morenci but raised in Clifton and attended Clifton High School will always have a special bond. In our case cousin we lived next door and shared things that we may remember but dimed the in fog of time. In our sorrow those memories are rekindled and they become our prayers for you and the ones you loved and leave behind. So cousin you will live in our memories. As for me, every time I go to Clifton and in my leaving driving ,\"Up the Hill\" - I will take one backward glance and remember you. Cousin Roger . "
