1 Thessalonians 16-18
16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage each other with these words.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Sylvia.

Janet, Greg & Family,

It's hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of a well-lived life.

Time will soften the edges and ease the sadness. Sorrow is here today, but love is infinite.

When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Think only of the happy times.

You're in our thoughts, our hearts, and our prayers. Wishing you and your family strength and peace.

Love,
Joyce & Barry Warren

The Lord Takes The Best: The Lord saw that Albert was getting tired and a cure was not meant to be, so the Lord put his arms around Albert and whispered "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating and a warm loving heart to Rest. The Lord broke our hearts to prove to us that HE only takes the best, your loved one, Albert.
Our prayers and love are with you, Lilly and with your family, a very close family that we have known for a very long time. Albert will always be in our hearts.
Love, Manny.

Dear Lilly and Family, My sincerest
condolences. Albert was my first supervisor (boss) at my very first job. Albert was a great human being. He was a man of integrity and wisdom. The success I've had in my career I owe much to him.
He mentored me on Integrity, accountablility and being professional. He once told me "you can tell a lot about someone by what and how they perform when there is no one there watching. I have this hanging in my office to this day. His smile was his calling card and what a great smile. At this moment I fell very blessed and fortunate to have crossed paths with this great human being. When we meet again he will be there to greet us with that beautiful smile. God bless you Albert it was great you were great. We will miss you.

Dearest Sainz Family,

In this most difficult time, please know that my prayers and love are with you all. I remember passing Albert in the hall of Tularosa High School, and he would have the time and the kindest words to speak to me. Because he was there, it seemed to make my day so much easier as everyday when I passed him, he had the brightest smile just for me. Albert never forgot to treat all of us kids as if we were his own, and I for one have great sorrow in my heart for the world's loss of a beautiful spirit. In my heart always and forever.
