Manuel and all the family, You all are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my sincere condolences. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your mother. May you find peace and love in the memories you cherish. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26 (NIV) Respectfully, Valdo
