This message is for the Anthony "torro"Torrez family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I knew Torro. I grew up with "Torro". I lived across the street from him growing up. He was in most of my classrooms. We use to ball softball across the street almost everyday. He was very good to me. I have lots of good memories of him. I just wanted the family to know that he was a good guy...and I will miss him. From the Sally Smith (Montez) family. |
