On behalf of Tiffany Cortez and the Cortez/Tyo families I want to thank the Choir Boys for their condolances and financial help to Tiffany and the boys. Those that came to the house were professional in every sense of the word and represented your organization with pride and dignaty that was very much appreciated in our time of need. Thank you! Tom Tyo
