Lana, L.A. and the huge loving family of Mr. Abrego, I am saddened to hear of your loss. So very many great memories of Catholic and public school memories come to mind. We ALL became the successful people we are due to our parents' strict, God Fearing, Loving beliefs! I know it hurts, and, unfortunately, it will for a while. I hate that for you all. Please know that if Harvey hadn't 'forced' us away from Orange, we would be there for you. Nothing but great memories, great cars to own and cherish, and lasting laughs and memories are wished upon you all. Patience IS a beautiful thing...... God Speed Mr. Victor Abrego. Prayers and thoughts to all of his loving family!Much Love,Ron and Anita Lindsey Lake

I so sorry for your loss. I have lived down the street from the Abrego's since the 60's and Mr. Abrego was always friendly and a good neighbor. He will missed by everyone in the neighborhood. Hopefully I can visit with the family, that I have not seen in a very long time, before the funeral. May God bless and strengthen your family during this time of sadness.
