I may not know your family personally but it seems that the bond that your sister and I have within us will be enough to say that we are family,too!My heartfelt condolences...He may not be around physically but Im sure he will always be there for you,watching and guiding you in your everyday life.Hope that everything will be all ok in the right time.There is no grief which time does not lessen or soften,without grief there can be no comfort......God and your children will be your strength and you will be theirs!In behalf of my family ,we offer prayer of love and peace.

A family is like a body,when a family loses a loved one it is as if they have lost one of their limbs,the hardest part of it and the most painful is to turn feelings into words, to shape words into sentences,sentences into complete thoughts.The contributions that was made by Chit can never be replaced but the way to have him live on is to never stop loving him.He is never been gone,as long we remember him,as long as our heart beats!Love is a powerful and mysterious sentiment that one can truly grasp in thoughts,never the less in words and in actions.....Real love is forever...And thats what he is!In behalf of my family we are sending all of you"Melanie,John,Spencer" our love and prayers.God is always with you.....

Please accept my greatest condolences at the loss of a good husband, good father and for me, a good friend. Claro has been both a wonderful resource for my photography business as well as a close friend. We shared great conversations at Richmond Camera and I'm forever grateful for this. Occasionally the boys would accompany him to work and they were always a joy! I am blessed to have known him. May God guide you through this impossible time and sustain you always.

We wish you were there to be with you - Melanie. Words are so menial at this time. You are the world's greatest visiting teacher and a dear friend. We remember Chit for his slow eating....well, and of course everything else that he was... - but you already know all that. We remember when you told us about the day you knew he was to be your husband. Yours was a story of true love - an eternal love. May that be your strength as you have been a strength to those around you.
With all our love -
the Milla's

Auntie Melanie, John Mitchell, and Spencer,
Know that during these hard times, the love around you and the wonderful memories will make you stronger.
Uncle Chit's sense of humor and constant loving presence is what I remember most. It was always fun to be around him at any part of the day or time in your life. I'll miss him, his funny jokes, his goofy faces, and his bald sandpapered head! May he rest in peace...
Auntie, John, and Spence, know that I will always be here.
I love you!
-Mari

I was blessed to know Claro Arcibal, a man of great character. He was loving, caring, and listened to others. He always made sure that those in his presence felt the love he had to share. When I picture him in my mind, he is smiling, joyful, and peaceful.
Mr. Arcibal’s heart was always in the right place. He kept his priorities straight. He knew what is important, not the tangible items on this earth but those that are intangible -friends, family, and faith. This will be the legacy he leaves.
I lift up Melanie, Spencer Rolan, John Mitchel, and the rest of the Arcibal family to our Lord for comfort and rest. Our gracious God will provide for you. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Oh, I have such fond memories of Kuya Chito, and all of us growing up together..Way back when you all first came to the states...
Although so much time had passed that we hadn't seen each other, we will always remember you... your time on earth was not nearly long enough for your warm and caring heart... We love you, and pray that the entire family will find comfort that you are at peace with our Lord, Jesus Christ...
God Bless the Arcibal Family...

Melanie and boys,
I don't know if you remember me, I worked at St. Mary's this past summer. Praise God that you were able to have weeks and even months with Claro beyond what you initially thought. Your family was adored on 6 East and I pray that his time out of the hospital was filled with family and love.

Dear Arcibal family,I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bro. Arcibal made an impression on me the very first time we met at a cub scout meeting. I know that you will miss your husband and the boys will miss their dad but you are so blessed to have that eternal marraige and to know that you will always be a family forever. I feel very blessed to have known your family for such a short period of time. I will be thinking of you as you celebrate his life here on this earth and you are so very fortunate to know that you are an eternal family.
