My condolences to all of Rev. Luis Martinez's children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and relatives. Brother Martinez was a faithful and committed servant of God. I can imagine that brother Luis is now rejoicing and leaping for joy, as he is welcomed by Jesus, and as he hears Jesus say: " Well done good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness! May God comfort and bless each and everyone of you!
