Luis Sifuentes, age 91, a man of Wisdom, Honor, and an infectious Smile joined our beautiful mother in our Lord’s Kingdom on January 27, 2019 surrounded by his loving family. An extremely Proud and Patriotic American who was a devoted, loving husband, father, grandfather and above all a Man of Faith, as he clearly demonstrated to all who came to know him during the last 7 years at Windsor Rehab Nursing Facility. The staff grew to admire Him and provide tender loving care. We, the family witnessed and felt the unconditional and passionate kindness for our Father. We will forever be Thankful to them. As expressed by one of his Care Takers: “My heart is breaking for ALL of you. I wish there was something I could do. It was my PLEASURE to have taken care of him. He taught me so much as a nurse, I will forever have him in my heart and will ALWAYS remember and Love Him. There will never be anyone like Mr. Sifuentes!” We would also like to extend our genuine gratitude to Selah Hospice care. A special thanks to Ashley whose compassion and continuous care made our Father’s passage into paradise a peaceful one.
