In Memory of Locario "Lucky" N. Perez: Aug. 13, 1923 to Sept 01, 2012!

HAPPIER TIMES WITH MAMA!

We are going to miss him. 

It seems like just yesterday when I met Lucky. 

I remember we (Mama, Sara, Josie and Alex) all rode to Ulysses, KS 

to take Mama to visit him and her sisters. 

We stayed with Tia Juana and her family; that was over 12 years ago. 

He was so funny and witty - his stories always had us in stitches; 

Mama often thought differently, but we knew how she really felt.

I miss their funny disagreements!

We will miss them both and stories they shared about their youth in south Texas (el Valle).

I remember all the fun trips Sara and I made with them to Beeville, George West, 

Three Rivers, San Antonio, Odessa, Lubbock,  and a few to Ulysses, etc...

Mama met Lucky (they courted for a while) before she met Papi 

but Papi beat him to the punch and married her.

Lucky had a love for music (i.e. norteña and/or conjunto type and such) and jokes.

 And who can forget his love of going shopping at Wally World.

R.I.P. Lucky!
