"A Tribute to Johnnie Aguero"
We know that Johnnie Aguero would like to thank everyone who attended her services and burial. Johnnie had a special place in her heart for musicians. Through the years, Johnnie has supported her husband and children in every aspect of music. She not only was their biggest fan, but she also volunteered as a roadie. She was always a fan of live music, especially when she knew the people although she never carried a tune herself.
We are inviting all the musicians who knew Johnnie Aguero to a special gathering. We are going to honor her with a compact disc for everyone who is interested. This compact disc will be a song that her husband has composed. The melody is a song that Johnnie Aguero loved. Junior played it many times for her in their very own home. The song is an up-tempo tropical style, salsa-type song. We hope everyone enjoys it. Because of the seriousness of the song, we want to record it on the day of the funeral. Do not be offended if you are not a musician! This is the type of thing we believe that Johnnie Aguero would want.
The compact disc will be available at Atlas Records, on the corner of 7th Street and McArthur Avenue in Odessa, one block east of Harless Avenue.
Services are in the care of Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home.
