Memorial Services for Ish De La Rosa in Mountainair, NM

Memorial Services will be held Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 10am, in the Dr. Saul Community Building, for a well loved member of the Mountainair community, Ishmael De La Rosa or Ish as everyone knew him.  His passing was such a surprise to the community and he will be sorely missed.  Ish was laid to rest in Hagerman, NM and is survived by wife Sammye and daughter Pamela and her husband of Roswell.

An account has been set up at My Bank in Mountainair for those who would like to donate to help Sammye through these difficult times. 

On a personal note, Ish and Sammye have been this writers long time friends and it is still hard to believe that Ish won't be offering to take Sammye out for a fine dinning experience at at Mc Donalds "Double Meat/Double Cheese" he would say with that wonderful grin of his.  It will be hard to be in Mountainair and not find Ish or his trade mark vehicle at the post office or catch him having coffee at Ancient Cities.  Ish was a kind, special man, a gentleman, who loved to make friends and helped those he met along the way.  Ish loved his wife and daughter to a fault - there was nothing he wouldn't do for them.  God speed and good rest Ish.
