Dear Topasna Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. During this time I wanted to share a thought for the future. I found this comforting thought while reading the Catholic Bible at Psalms 36:29 which states that the just shall possess the land and dwell in it forever. I hope this brings some hope for you on this sad day.

Ester, It was shocking to hear about Al's passing. Each time we visit back home, Albert was always coming to see if we needed anything and always had fish or something to share with us. He was such a giving person; We are currently enjoying the cds he recently made for my sister Millie to share. It's hard to imagine being in Sta. Rita and not to see Albert washing his car with his music entertaining the whole street. Be strong my friend, this will be very difficult to adjust to.... and to his siblings, Al was very much loved and respected by those who knew him well....his heart was an extension of the late Commmissioner Albert whom was loved by all who knew him.

Ester, Syl, Glen, Our hearts is filled with sadness at your loss of Brother Albert. We can not imagine the pain you feel now but we wanted you to know that our loving thoughts are with you. We can only say how much we will miss Bro. Albert as well. No words can express how much a part of your life Bro. Albert was, and will always be, we're sure, and be held in your hearts forever. Brother Albert was a brother to me growing up in our younger days, always giving me a shining example of kindness, caring, loving and fun. Bro. Albert was more than just a brother, he was my friend. Although distance and time track us in different directions through life, he was always close to me. Even though the time we spent with Bro. Albert was all too infrequent, when we were together our bonds were reinforced by the simplest of hugs or a kiss on the cheek. He made me welcome no matter what was transpiring in his life, no matter how busy he was and, in recent time, no matter how much he was suffering. God gave a true brother that remains with me through the rest of my life, so close yet not with us in body any longer. We know you will call if there is anything at all we can do, but we just wanted you to know that we are here for you regardless of day or night. Ester, Syl, Glen, and Brother Albert are in our thoughts and prayers. Alex/Vee Sanchez (Hon, Hi)

I am sad to hear the news of Cousin Al’s passing. The TEARS we shared is when we say our final goodbye to Cousin Al. The SMILE is the happy thoughts we shared while he is with us. I will always remember Cousin Al with a smile and the jokes we shared together. It’s never a dull moment when I run into him. I bid him farewell and a safe journey to our heavenly Father. My thoughts and prayer goes to Ester, Syl and Glen. May you find strength, courage and understanding that Al is at a safe place called HEAVEN.

Ester, I'm so saddened to hear of Jr's. sudden passing. No one can know the ways of eternity or understand when those we love leave this earth too soon, before we are ready to say good-bye. But you can be sure of this--that you are in the heartfelt thoughts of those who care for you. May you always be reminded of the loving and warm thoughts of the memories the two of you shared.
