Armando was my friend and co-worker; his wife Josie introduced me to him and his work. Mando's art work has an excellence that is thoughtful, commanding and eternal. May the memory of Armando live in the hearts and minds of all he touched. My prayers go out to Josie, their family and many friends. Mr. Cid was also a Pastor and so I offer this verse from John 11:25-26 to all who loved him: Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Armando was my life long friend. I enjoyed many days fishing and hunting with him. The world is a sadder and smaller place with his passing. May God comfort you and ease the pain of your loss. I think God needed an artist in heaven.
Arthur Orta & Vera and family.
