In Remembrance of Dad




In Remembrance of Grandpa Pedro Terrones. He was pioneer who ventured away from his homeland with a dream for a better life...the dream began with him. Please keep him in your prayers on his passing, October 7th, 1970.

Grandpa Pedro had a sad life and made sacrifices so we could have better life. He left his homeland to work on the railroad in Silvis, he was deported in 1929 back to Mexico. After returning, he decided to give up his American-born children to his Sister Maria Sierra so they could have a chance for a better life. He was unable to cross the border again to return to America. He also lost our Grandmother Juana in childbirth at the border. He lived as a widower in Laredo, Mex without his children until he was old. My Dad and I went to Mexico and brought him back with us. He died here in 1970. The family should give a moment of silence for the man that changed our lives, he sacrificed himself so we could have what we have today.
