Its been one month since the only true GOD called you home eternally. There is only way to Heaven, and that's thru CHRIST JESUS. It is only by the Sovereign power of Almighty GOD that I will see you again, because I, just like you, am Saved by Grace and thru Faith in CHRIST JESUS. I will see you soon Pa, all in accordance to GOD'S perfect will.

My condolences to all of Ricardo's loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with him at First NBC in the early 1990s and knowing him more years than that. He was an impeccably dignified man who carried himself always with class and nobility. I am so glad to have known him.

Dear Sandra, Rick and all the Kawas family, I'm so sorry having missed Ricardo's funeral. I was a dear friend of Ricardo and worked with him for many years at First NBC in the International Department. He was a very caring man who listened well, and always thought the best of people. I looked forward to the office parties as he would always bring a tray of Sandra's marvelous baklava. I have missed seeing you these many years old friend. Beatae Memoriae Ricardo Kawas.

Querida Sandra: Cuánto siento el fallecimiento de nuestro amigo Ricardo. Te envío mi más sentido pésame parta tí y toda la familia. Hay que mantenerlo vivo espiritualmente, recordando siempre lo que fué, sus buenas acciones, ejemplo y enseñanzas. No te puedo enviar el pésame de mi esposa porque ella falleció en enero 2015, pero ella te lo hubiera enviado tambien.. Que Dios siempre te bendiga. Evelio Cuadrado, Guatemala.

My dad's funeral was held today and I would like to thank everyone who attended and also those who could not attend but blessed us with their prayers. We serve a great GOD and are eternally indebted to HIM. My dad gave his heart and life to CHRIST JESUS in 1971 and on 16 Feb the LORD called him home, where all GOD'S children will be one day. This unmerited love is called Grace, and it can only come from GOD.

My deepest condolences to the Kawas family. Dickie (as he was known to us who went to school with him in La Ceiba, Honduras) was always the kid with the ready smile and liked by all who knew him. We did not keep in touch, but my heart is filled with joy to read that he was a christian who lived his life reaching out to others and sharing God's Word. He is surely rejoicing in the presence of our Saviour.

I was so happy to have seen you again in 2015 after a few years. I have always treasured you as a valued friend rather than a brother-in-law. We had many discussions over the years and I will miss those. You are now at peace in Heaven with God

Por favor acepten mis mas sentidos pesames por la muerte del Sr. Ricardo. Esta claro que el amaba a Dios, y ahora acepten mis oraciones que Dios los reconfortara siempre (2 Corintios 1:3, 4).

February 22, 2016

I would like to extend our deepest condolences to you Mrs. Kawas and your family on behalf of my dad, Roberto Chavez, and myself, Dolly Saenz. I always remember the conversations with my mom, Ella and my dad Roberto about you. They always shared such beautiful memories about the fellowship with you two, how they always exchanged laughter with you and how they appreciated you. They love you very much. May the Lord embrace you with His Love and His Peace and His Comfort during this time. God bless you in abundance. All our love,
Roberto Chavez and family.

This is my story this is my song, Praising my savior all the day long.

Ricardo, it was such a pleasure to have knowing you. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ. You are now in the arms of our Savior, singing Praises to our KING.

Our words are totally inadequate to fully express all that
Ricardo and Sandra have meant to us since they moved to Las Cruces 7 years ago. Ricardo's dedication to the Lord and the ministry that he shared with us at Grace Chapel in El Paso, driving 58 miles each way two or more times every week. He was a man of great conviction, an excellent Bible teacher, a lover of hospitality, served as an elder at Grace Chapel, and highly respected by all. His wise counsel will be missed, but knowing that he is with the Lord, which is far better than anything this life has to offer, brings great comfort. Jim & Evelyn Hunt

Ricardo, my dearest husband, what beautiful times we had and shared together during our 48 years of marriage. In my heart I will treasure all those beautiful moments that we shared. I miss you so much and love you all the more. I have peace in my heart because I know you are Heaven with our LORD and SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS.

Father-in-law,
you mean so much to me, you treated me like a daughter, and I really appreciate everything you did for me. Your advice helped me out a lot, I'm going to miss you for the rest of my life. I'm going to miss the time we spent conversing on the dinner table, and I'm going to miss all your life stories and the times we spent watching TV in the evening with the puppies, Jack and Asa. I know you are in a wonderful place with our LORD and SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS. You will forever be in my heart. Love you always, your daughter in law.

GOD is great, GOD is good. Pa, the greatest thing you could have ever given me to me, you did; and that was to raise me up in a Christian home. You gave a good Christian testimony as my example for me to emulate and to learn from. We are Saved by Grace and thru Faith in CHRIST JESUS; that is precisely why I told you I will see you later, all in accordance to GOD'S divine and perfect will. I love you and will continue to preach the Gospel in accordance to GOD'S will, wherever HE may lead me.
