Dearest Joe and Jun,

May you find comfort in God's words, "Eye has not seen, ears have not heard what God has ready for those who love Him."

Your dad was ripe for heaven.

One with you in your bereavement as we continue to pray with you and for you.

Dear Mamorbor family:
I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Bernard's passing. He was a very good friend of my dad, Jaime N. Camba, Sr., who passed away close to four years ago. While my dad was in the hospital, Mr. Bernard came to see him several times. I'm so sorry for your loss - l think about my dad every day. Mr. Bernard and my dad together entertained the Senior Citizens. I hope you can take comfort that he is in a good place. I can see them singing with the angels together now.
