Wayne, We hope you and your family are healing in your grieving process over the loss of your dad. If you see this, please contact us. We would love to reconnect. We lost your Brooklyn address and your parents' address when we moved from our house in Kenner in 1995...I came across some old photos that you might like to see.
Sincerely,
Dawn

May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs come to welcome you
and take you to the holy city,
the new and eternal Jerusalem.

May choirs of angels welcome you
and lead you to the bosom of Abraham;
and where Lazarus is poor no longer
may you find eternal rest.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful
departed through the mercy of God, rest in
peace. Amen.

Our condolences goes out to the family of Mr.
Curtis Gonzales.
