It is with fond and loving memories that we remember you and the relationship you had with my wife and myself and our children. You were the Grandfather our children never had physically present in their lives, and 'till today they talk about it. I will miss the conversations we used to have about work, politics, family and most of all about Jesus Christ our Savior. Thank you for being a Big part in our Lives. John 3:16. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." And we know that you believed in our Savior Jesus Christ. May Eternal Rest be upon you Senhor. Manuel We will miss you John Noelia.

Sr Manuel was such a blessing to our family. He was a grandfather to us and the friendliest face on the block. I have many fond memories of coming home from school or work and he would be working in the garden and we would chat about our day. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Sending so much love to those impacted by his loss.

Manuel was such a sweet and kind person. He had the most generous heart and was like a grandfather to my siblings and I. Always thoughtful, giving and caring. He will truly be missed by many. His gentle nature and the cherished memories we shared will stay forever in our hearts. Inshallah (God willing), May Allah (SWT) grant you Jannah Al Firdous (the highest level of paradise) and bless you with the best of the Akhirah and of the Barzakh. Ameen May you rest in peace and may your loved ones be granted patience and comfort during this most difficult time.

We are holding you in our hearts during this incredibly difficult time, and we wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Tio Carlos was a kind and generous man with a hopeful spirit, and his presence will be deeply missed. I have always admired him and I find solace in knowing he is at rest with those he cherished. He lived a beautiful life, and it was an honour to have known and loved him.
