Ditto/Finger,

I would constantly bail you out yearly to remind you about your wedding anniversary. My sister would also attempt to remind me, "Did you tell Mondo?" and I would say, "Yes," but even she would forget at times. I always remember y'alls anniversary because it's two weeks before our anniversary. This will continue to be on my mind every year. I also remember going to the shop a few weeks ago and saying, "What's up, Ditto?" You gave me a slant eye with a smirky smile on your face and said "You know, you're the only one that still calls me Ditto". This makes me wonder what happened to the big finger I gave you that used to be on the shelf in the kitchen. Your humor, your jokes, and your sarcasm will be missed. Don't worry; we will watch over your family.

Love you always,
Leo and Lydia Samaniego

Uncle Mondo,

Rest in peace, our dear uncle; your smile, laugh, and humor will resonate with us for years to come.  No words can express enough how much we will miss you.  My favorite memory of you will always be the time you accidently lit Black Jacks (firecrackers) in the house.  You scared everyone at the time while you fought with the glass door to get it open.  You did get it open and throw the firecrackers just in time as the fireworks started popping mid air.  Now that same door doesn't fully work well anymore, but everytime its gets stuck and I am arguing with the door to open a flashed image of you happens in my mind.  I always give a giggle and continue with whatever I am doing.  I will never look at that door the same again.  We love you and will miss you always,

Robert, Jennifer (Samaniego), Jayley and Bayley De La Rosa

Our heartfelt condolences. May God give you and your family the inner peace that surpasses all understanding 🙏 


Uncle mando will always be missed now and forever. 

I will never forget the times we went to the store and as an uncle I would get all the candy when I was little.  I will miss you so much and you will never be forgotten. Love you so much. 



Mando thank you for all the opportunities you gave me and my family and alot of people you helped when in need. My condolences to all the Benavides family. The greatest moments were always when we were working together at the shop.  

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope Mondo is in a better place where there is no hurt or pain. May he look over and protect his children so they know they will forever be loved by their daddy. Rest in peace Mondo.  


In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
May Armando Benevides soul rest in peace.
Amen.
