My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

He taught me Spanish in grades 6, 7 & 8 at Miller Intermediate in the 70's. One year he brought in a tv so that we could watch the World Series! I appreciated him for that. Descansa en paz, Sr. Mercado.
