We draw comfort from the wonderful memories made throughout the years, that will forever be in our hearts. But we lean most heavily on the promise that Christ has given us that we will be reunited at our Lord's second coming, to never be separated again per the following bible verse:
1 Thessalonians 4;13-18.
A memorial service for Roberto will be held Saturday March 6, 2021 at 4:00 pm at Miller Memorial Chapel, 1120 West Goshen Ave, Visalia, CA 93291.
