Hi,  Daddy iam so glad we had some time to get to know each other.  I wish it could have been longer. I miss you so much and I love you gone but not forgotten. Love Lisa your loving daughter.

To the family, my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the knowledge that "there is going to be a resurrection,” as the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28,29) By meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, may you find real hope and the strength to keep going. (1 Th 4:13,14) Deepest sympathy. 

Jose and I are so very sorry for your loss.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  May your faith help you at this time.


Love Jose and Maggie
