Not sure what to say?

My children still get one of the best pieces of advice that I remember Papi saying:

“You have to take care of your responsibilities”

He was a man of faith and action, all done in love and patience. He will walk on the street of gold in the New Jerusalem.

The Nevius family mourns his loss yet celebrates the attaining of his heavenly reward.

I will always remember your visits to Trinidad. You loved coming to see the family and you always had a smile on your face. I know Aunty Monica and you loved swimming in the ocean in Tobago. You will be missed dearly. Condolences to Roberto and Luisito and their families. May he rest in eternal peace with his Heavenly Father. Love Noella

Uncle Luis you were a true family man! A gentle smile and happy disposition. Love you forever. RIP

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Rest in eternal peace Uncle Luis

We were blessed to know Mr. Ruck and look forward to seeing him again.
