The Roque family, Hermano, Lucia, Zachary, Jeremy and Maria Braga.
When a person becomes a significant part of our daily lives, they occupy a special place in our hearts. This is what our friend meant to our family especially my husband Hermano. They would spend time together if not watching and talking about soccer, they would share B.B.Q., which Tony loved to do. He would always send some over to share with my mom and ourselves. He would always make his bean soup and send some over to her and us in remembering his own mother who had passed last summer. I will continue to make his soup in memory of him. He was always there for his neighbours when we needed him to fix something. He was talented that way. He helped us build some ramps when my mom returned from the hospital last summer so she could walk around in her place with her walker. He will be truly missed. Our condolences to the family from our family. The Roque family, Hermano, Lucia, Zachary, Jeremy and Maria Braga. Until one day when we will meet again. Revelation 21: 4 reads, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." 5 And the one sitting on the throne said, " Look, I am making everything new!" And then he said to me, " Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."
