We are sorry of your loss Mrs Lopez & Family..... He will always be remembered. Many fond memories back in the day at St. Paul´s Church and CYO. "Coach Lopez" was a good man and made me into great baseball pitcher. I was honored when coach selected me for the CYO All-Star team. Coach wore many hats, helped a lot of folks and I´m grateful for those times when I was growing up. He will certainly be missed, and I know God´s Glory awaits us all, so it is my prayer to take this moment to embrace God´s love and comfort. "Amen, Amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question me about anything." John 16:20
With love, Robert (Bobby) & Cindy Gutierrez -2-11-24
