Rafael A. Fernandez

Rafo, You are in our prayers and in our hearts. I can´t believe it´s been one year already of your passing to your Eternal Home. You hold a very special place in our hearts and your kindness and caring heart will never be forgotten, especially your friendship with our dad Francisco, who also has gone to his Eternal Rest recently. Sending Prayers for all the family. We miss you. Forever in our hearts.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Rafael. He graciously visited my classroom on a couple ocassions to talk to my students about staying in school, working hard and thinking of others. He led by example and was a friendly, caring family man who contributed so much to the youth in our city. Rest in Peace.
