Mrs. Salinas and family my sincere condolences for the passing of your beloved husband, father, and grandfather. It was a pleasure to have taken the Holy Eucharist to Mr. Salinas weekly @ Silver Creek Manor. I'll always remember his smile before recieving Jesus. Now he is up in Heaven smiling with our Lord Jesus Christ.
