PADILLA -- Bennie M. Perhaps you brought or served food. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friends could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought or prayed for us that day. Whatever the part the Lord had you play to console our hearts, we thank you so much, and may He bless each one of you. The family would like to thank Rev. Jerome Mueller for officiating the Funeral Mass at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. The family of Bennie M. Padilla. French 1111 University Blvd. NE. (505) 843-6333
