Words cannot express the sadness that is in our hearts. Your father was great friends of my father Manuel. He always listened to his friend with an open heart had spoke only words of encouragement and always gave good advice. The world has lost another genuine human being with a kind & loving heart. Rosa, Maria & Grace and the the grand chilkdren were his entire world. May God welcome him into his kingdom with open arms. God Bless you Senhora Rosa, Maria & Grace and family. His kindness and kind face will be saddenly missed.
