I know I am so late in my condolences. I feel so bad that I have been out of touch and did not realize. Victor was such a nice and special person. I enjoyed his very charismatic personality and the smile he always seemed to have. It is so sad that we have lost another special person to so many and expecially someone who had such a passion for everything Elgin. He has been missed and will continue to be missed in the many days, months and years ahead,

Our heart goes out to the Gonzalez family. God bless you and comfort you in your time of such great sadness.

We little knew that morning
God was going to call his name,
In life we loved him dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose him,
He did not go alone.
For part of us went with him,
The day God called him home.
He left us beautiful memories,
His love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see him,
He is always by our side.
Your family chain is broke,
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls you one by one, The chain will link again.

With much love and sympathy,
Miguel and Esperanza Pena & family

I know you will all miss him so much. Keep his memory in your hearts forever. I know I won't forget him.
