We the Cathedral High School Alumni wish extend to the Hector Chafino, family our deepest sympathy. There is little that we can say that will comfort you in this hour of your bereavement.
May you find solace in the inspiring memories of the exemplary life of our brother, Hector, May he enjoy his eternal rest and the rewards he has earned.
We hope that you derive some measure of comfort in the knowledge that we share your grief. It saddens the heart when one of our own is sent to his Glorious Reward. But you can rest assured that Hector will not be forgotten by his brothers.
Hector will be remembered on the November 2014 School Alumni Memorial Mass at the St. Patricks Cathedral.
