26 Feb 2020Arthur Vigil is one of my father’s younger siblings. He has always been one of my dearest and special uncles. I have fond memories visiting him and his family in Colorado Springs, and earlier in Kansas. I am also very fond of my Aunt Lucy, who has always treated me very kindly and with great love. I have wonderful memories of childhood days hanging around with all of my cousins, Arthur Jr., David, Steve, and Theresa, and Eddie. Uncle Art is one of God’s special sons, and I am sure he is very happy, being in the presence of our blessed and loving Father in heaven. Uncle Art you will be very missed in this life by everyone who’s lives you have touched. Special condolences to all of the Arthur Vigil family and their close family and friends.
Love, your nephew,
Frank J. Vigil and family.
