Lo sentimos mucho. Ciertamente cuando se nos muere un ser querido como un padre es considerado como el mejor amigo. El que nunca te falla o de deja desamparado. Le pedimos a Dios que le fortaleza a la familia y que sepan que la palabra de Dios nos promete que veremos a nuestros seres queridos en el cielo si lo aceptamos como nuestro unico y esclusivo salvador. Que Dios los bendiga.
