The Sepeda Family was truly truly blessed when God sent Christina (Chris) and Travis Pagareski into our lives. Ramon and Mary lived with Christina for a period of time before failing health caused them both to take up residence in a nursing home. There is nothing Chris would not do for the Sepeda family as she showed on a daily basis and continues to do. Ramon and Mary love her and consider her to be their fourth daughter. Chris always goes above and beyond to do whatever is necessary to ensure the happiness of our parents and others, never once complaining. Chris, Dad loved you and Travis so much. What a blessing for you, that you were the one holding his hand when he took his last breath. Chris, our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts and we love you so much. There will be no visitation or services as private interment will take place in Willow Cemetery . Arrangements are being handled by the Eggleston Meinert Pavley Funeral Homes. The Sepeda family would like to thank the Staff of Sylvania Rehab and Nursing Facility for their wonderful and loving care of our Father. Each and everyone showed such kindness and thoughtfulness to our family and we are truly grateful. We would also like to thank Hospice of Northwest Ohio for their wonderful care of our father during his time of transition, especially Ms. Regan.
