Good evening! I knew Albert, who called me Mom, from when he was a teenager, and have loved him from then ... in my heart I also knew he had to have passed away suddenly because I´d not heard from him on 2023 Mother's Day, my or his birthdays, so I kept calling Albert´s home and cell numbers to no avail, today I did a search! Heartbroken that we weren´t able to say So long, but, I know God has rested Albert´s soul and in God, I and all who knew and loved Albert will be comforted!
