And no resident will say: “I am sick…”Isa 33:24. We can be sure of this reality because God has promised as seen from his divine words about the near future; perhaps you or I may see those missing from our lives due to sickness or injury that lead to death. Prayers go out to the surviving family and friends.

Growing up I was always a fan of the comics. Gordo was among my favorites. It was also a teaching tool. Vaya con Dios.

I'm sadden to have found out about Gus Arriola's passing and never had the pleasure to meet him and wife Mary Frances. The Gordo, Tehuana Mama and Pepito strips must have been very good. We would have enjoyed reading about Gordo's adventures in South Texas. Gus and all his cartoon friends would have been the topic of conversation in all of the Arriola's household down here. Gus is now gone but his memory will always be with friends and family.
