I know they would have always chosen to go together! God bless the family and friends and we send all our love and prayers!!!! God bless!!!
Silva, we are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet parents. Many prayers for you in the days to come. Darrell and Lisa Jestis
It’s only a temporary goodbye, I will see you two precious people in the next journey. R.I.P.
So very sorry for your loss
Our love goes out to all family and friends. This is a terrible loss. The present thing with the virus has kept many from showing their love and concern. It’s just natural to want to hug our friends and family at this time.
So sorry Sis. Love you
Prayers for healing in those left behind. Being the best humans we can be is the only way to honor this devoted couple.
Rest in Peace
