Our father worked hard his whole life in cement, automotive and just about anything he could get his hands on. After a serious accident in his early years he turned his life to God. He raised his children to believe and trust in God. Our father fought a hard battle with Covid-19 and beat it, but due to the damage to his lungs was unable to recover. Our Father God chose to end his suffering and called him home.
Daddy you will be missed.
Papa, I will miss you, Noel.

Brother, we will miss you.
I love you "Mito" with all my heart till we meet again, Maria.
