APODACA, JULIO G. JR. In loving memory of Julio G. Apodaca Jr. May 16, 1986 - April 03, 2013 BROKEN CHAIN We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, our family chain will link again. We miss you so dearly, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH SON Your Dad, Little Julio, Little Julian ( Son Son ) Brother, what will I ever do without you? You were and still are the light of my life. I miss and love you with every ounce of my heart. Your Sister, Valerie Julio, You are my beginning and my end, Your the light of my life, I carry your heart in my heart, Until we meet again, light will return to my life. Love you always and forever, Ofelia, D'Angelo, Olga, Julio III, and Julian

MONTALVO, BRAULIO Braulio Montalvo, beloved husband, father, and friend, died peacefully at home with family and friends on March 31, 2014. He was raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and lived in New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before settling in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1985. Although he had dreams of being a cartoonist and a sculptor, Braulio was a pioneer in the field of family therapy, spending several decades at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic. Braulio co-authored the books Families of the Slums, a clinical study of low-income urban families, and The Difficult Divorce, as well as an extensive selection of insightful articles on culture, geriatrics, medical training and therapy. He wrote on these topics much before they became popular, with complexity and critical analysis still reflected in today's literature. As senior supervisor for 23 years at Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, he helped establish one the first training centers for family therapy including the first video library, producing videos such as "A Family with a Little Fire" and "Constructing a Different Reality", that have continuously sparked trainees nationwide and internationally. His last book was a collection of autobiographical short stories, Hilachas, about his childhood in Puerto Rico. Braulio will be remembered professionally for his keen intellect, his integrity, his humble and compassionate dedication to social justice, impacting the lives of all he touched. Personally, Braulio was a generous man, caring for others and helping friends in their times of need. He also enjoyed sharing his insights into the current political climate, or recommending a great movie, or randomly sending a hilarious comic strip. He and his wife, Margarita, spent many Albuquerque evenings dancing to salsa music by favorite bands, like Son Como Son, or enjoying performances across the state. They shared many mutual joys and passions over their nearly 55-year marriage and were a testament to the beauty of love and marriage. As a father of two adventurous and happy children who loved him dearly, he shared baseball, walks, conversations, and laughter. Braulio was preceded in death by his son, Carlos; his parents, Braulio and Justina Montalvo; and his brother, Edwin. He is survived by his wife, Margarita Montalvo; his daughter, Maria; sister and brother, Sonia Beardsell and Hiram Montalvo; nephew, Ricky Gonzalez; and many other nieces and nephews, as well as a large extended family of relatives and dear friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Doctors Without Borders. Rosary will be recited on Friday, April 4, 2014 at 7:00 pm at FRENCH - University in Albuquerque. Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. at Sangre de Cristo Catholic Church, 8901 Candelaria NE.

PACHECO, MARY ELIZABETH LOPEZ born on March 6, 1923 in Maxwell, NM, daughter of Ignacio and Margarita Lopez, passed on April 1, 2014 at the age of 91. Elizabeth, a resident of Santa Fe, NM, and former resident of Maxwell, Springer, and Raton, NM, was married to Manuel Jose Pacheco on July 8, 1940 until his death in July 1999-nearly 60 years. They lived most of their lives on a farm in Maxwell, and raised 12 children. All children eventually married and blessed Elizabeth and Manuel with 41 grandchildren and numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren. Children include Dr. Manuel Trinidad Pacheco (Karen) of Phoenix, AZ; Margaret Safallo (Al) of Prescott, AZ; Dr. John Maurice Pacheco (Bea) of Santa Fe, NM; Ignacio Robert Pacheco (Carol) of Denver, Colorado; Julia Rosita Chavez (Randy) of Albuquerque, NM; Olivia Elizabeth Ann Huggins (Ronnie) of Lawrenceville, GA; Theresa Marie Wittig (Evan) of San Antonio, TX; Bernadette Agnes Trujillo (John) of Baltimore, MD; Anna Marie Robinson (Richard) of Las Cruces, NM; Dr. Mario Francis James Pacheco (Diana) of Santa Fe, NM; Dr. Rita Magdalene Pacheco-Gonzales (Esteban) of Las Cruces, NM; and Christopher Mark Pacheco (Judy) of Elizabeth, CO. Elizabeth was preceded in death by sister, Julia Lopez, and brothers Louis Ignacio Lopez and Pablo Antonio Lopez. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and one sister-in-law. In her early married years Elizabeth first accompanied Manuel as a migrant farmworker in Colorado and before long settled in Maxwell, NM as their primary residence, eventually purchasing a farm and tractor. Elizabeth helped Manuel run a dairy farm by milking every morning at pre-dawn among other things, while Manuel tended cattle, and pursued various other small animal ventures, aside from his regular job at the NM State Highway Department in Springer, NM. Elizabeth and Manuel raised 12 children on the farm in Maxwell, NM. In addition, Elizabeth played the organ for mass at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Maxwell and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Springer, over the majority of her lifetime, a service she began at St. Patrick's Academy in Raton, NM since the age of 12. She also taught religious education classes at St. Vincent De Paul Church in Maxwell. She served for over 25 years as Secretary for the Maxwell School Board, working diligently for decades to keep the school independent and successful, and also served as Secretary for the NM State Board of Education. After her youngest child was ready to leave for college, Elizabeth pursued a bachelors degree and graduated summa cum laude from Highlands University, and taught at the New Mexico Boys Correctional Facility in Springer, NM for almost 20 years. She was honored in 1983 as New Mexico's Mother of the Year. Fittingly, she continued her motherly role, guiding boys at the correctional facility, teaching them to read, write, and develop a sense of self-worth. These troubled young men invigorated a fresh sense of purpose after her children were grown and left home. Elizabeth enjoyed traveling to Europe, South America, Israel, Mexico, and other places. Her love of music, traveling, and reading enveloped every element of her life and transferred to her children & grandchildren. Visitation will begin at 6:00 PM Thursday, April 3, 2014 at Santa Maria De La Paz Catholic Church, where a Rosary will be recited at 7:00 PM Thursday evening.
