You were truly an example to many. All ages, old, young and children were blessed by you. I know that to be true because not only were you a blessing in my life but you also left an imprint on the lives of my children from a very young age. My heart felt the impact with the news of your departure. But on the other hand, I rejoice in your victory and knowing that you are now rejoicing in the presence of God.
I pray for the family. Be strengthened and filled with the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.
Migdalia and family.

My heart and prayers are with you,Suzy and your family. I can hear him laughing with my dad (Nemesio Muniz) and having conversations about and with the Lord at the dinning room table. They would just have a Hallelujah moment. Our last conversation was a song a sang to him on the phone, Goodness of God. We had a Hallelujah moment. Precious! He always had my heart. God Bless you.
