THANK YOU
JoaquinHeadShot
The entire Andrade family and the USHLI family would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of kind words, comforting thoughts, beautiful floral arrangements, prayers and condolences, and donations to the Joaquin Amado Andrade Memorial Fund, following the passing of our son.

Joaquin was a barrel of fun to be with, the ultimate prankster, and accomplished punster.  Call me lucky or blessed, but I can honestly say that I never met a single person who had an unkind word to say about Joaquin.  That's just the way he was; faithfully living up to his middle name (Beloved).  He treated everyone with respect, and could always find something for everyone to laugh about.  He loved his family and his family loved him.  Our family will go on, but will never be the same again.  Please continue to pray for us.

Joaquin was more than a son; he was a huge part of the USHLI family - the one person we counted on for all of our graphic design.  He was enormously talented and had a work ethic to match.  I will always remember the many times we both worked through the night to meet our printing deadlines and he never complained.  He believed very strongly in USHLI's mission.  

Joaquin was at the top of his game and now is when we need him most, as we work to get the 2010 issue of The Almanac of Latino Politics, our flagship publication, ready to print, and as we work to get all of our conference-related materials ready to print.  Joaquin's passing has left a huge void at USHLI so please pray for us and for those we will have to bring on board to do our graphic design for 2010.
