Gilberto Torres Obituary

May 26, 2015
On 26 May 2015, at 2:45 pm, in Loma Linda Medical University Hospital, CA, a beautiful soul, loving son, beloved brother and husband, wonderful Father, proud " Poppa", and faithful friend went home to be with the Lord. Gilbert Torres left this earth quietly with the same dignity and grace he lived his life for 69 years. We can only imagine the wonders and celebration in Heaven with family and friends who have gone before him.
