We have been inundated with expressions of love from so many people. Thank you so very much. By email, Face Book and blog comments you have expressed your loving support. Several of you have shared anecdotes about my dad that are greatly appreciated.

Cheryl lost her father almost twenty years ago, but this is the first parent I have lost. It certainly gives a different perspective and helps my empathize with what some family in our church is going through almost every week if not more frequently.

Some have asked and I am happy to share the funeral details with those who want to know. A viewing will be held Wednesday morning at 10:00 in the church auditorium with the service to follow at 11:00. Park Lawn Funeral Home is in charge, and though the obituary in The Star tomorrow will say the service in the Park Lawn Chapel, it will be at the church. Mom and Dad attended the Hispanic Ministry for years. They always wanted to learn Spanish but never had to since there were always those ready to translate for them. They loved Marco like a son and I have asked him to officiate. In lieu of flowers we would ask instead for contributions in his name to be made to KCBT.

Again, thanks so very much to you all.
