Will never forget your smile Alfie. You are smiling with the angels now.
I will miss your Beautiful Smile and laughter. I remember when we would sing together Hit the Jack and don’t you come back. You were little. You loved to Dance and loved German Chocolate cake and Enchiladas. I am very Happy that your are dancing with your New Leg, in Heaven. I Love you and will miss you, Dearly. Your Babysitter.

Dearest Alfie,
I will forever remember your face, your smile, your laugh, your light, and the love you always brought and shared. God called you to Heaven to keep you safe and close. I know you will serve Him well. I pray you are happy and that we will meet again one day. Rest In Eternal Peace Alfie.

Our deepest condolences to the Hernandez & Magallon families. Our cousin, Alfred M.Hernandez, Jr.was alot of fun and we will miss his sense of humour! May his soul rest in peace.
Big A, I loved how when I went over to my grandma and grandpas house you were always siting on the couch to greet me when I walked in the door. I remember we would always squeeze each others hand to see who would give up first. You would always beat me but before you passed I finally beat you. You left me with a win and I knew the day was coming when I beat you. Your death impacted me so much that when I think about it today 3 years later I still want to tear up. I was getting mad when I took nearly a year to get your name stoned on your headstone. You got it up and I was relived. I hope your still with me everyday of the year, watching over me when I’m down, sick, or hurt. I miss you but I’ve been fighting like you did when you were sick. I got Covid after you and I won that battle 3 times in your name. I love you Big A ,LLBA
