To the family: Tony was a wonderful neighbour for the 20 years I've lived on the street. He'd always smile and nod hello when I walked past his house. Men like Tony made the neighborhood a community, and he'll be missed on the street. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Almerinda - I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. As I have lost my parents, I know what a difficult and sad time this is for you and your family. Please pass on my condolences to your family. Take care - your friend Rita Simas.

To family,
My sincere condolences .There is no greater pain than the death of a loved one. Sometimes it seems almost more than a person can bear. Jehovah God helps us with this in His word. He promises us that He will put a stop to all sickness and death will be no more (REV 21;3.4) Jehovah shows His love for us through the ransom sacrifice of His beloved son Jesus Christ. What a wonderful gift to be given ! Then the hope of seeing one's loved ones again on this earth transformed in a paradise as it was Jehovah's will when He created Adam & Eve .

My condolences to the Amaral family - Our thoughts and prayers are wit you all during this very difficult time. I'll always remember him sitting in his favourite chair downstairs in this basement. Rest in Peace Mr. Amaral.

Dear Amaral Family,
I write these words with deep sadness of the passing of Sr. Antonio. I remember him fondly as a person who was always kind, with an easy smile and laugh and a man who lived for his wife and daughters. He was always happy about their accomplishments and proud of the women they became.
Despite the long time I have not seen him, he is in my thoughts as I frequently tell others a saying I once heard him say "I kill you 10 times!" It always brings a smile to my face and breaks the tension between me and the person I am arguing with!
With kind thoughts,
Maria Benevides and Parents

Almerinda, Paula and Isabel. We are so sorry for the loss of your father. Even though we never met the man, it is quite easy to see what kind of man he was by his accomplishments. The biggest of which is raising three wonderful daughters who are as close as you are. This tells me all I need to know about your father. Best wishes and if you need anything, you know where to find us.

Isabel, Al and Paula. I don't know what to say except that I'm so sorry for your loss. I will forever miss his friendly smile and wave every time I passed by his house. He would always ask about my parents and family. He was a good man and wonderful "vizinho". I'm here if you need anything.
