Noemi and Manuel my deepest condolences. It saddens me for the loss of Albert, he had a sweet spirit and I wish I had continued to keep in touch with him. I have good memories with him when we sat together at church and conversed about so many things. I will cherish that time and I thank God for allowing me to get to know him.
May the Lord embrace you with His loving arms and be with you through this difficult time. Love,
Linda Martin

My deepest condolences to the Castaneda family! I´ve known Albert since middle school . He was always quick with a joke. I saw Albert 4 months ago at a local restaurant. We spoke and caught up on life.
Still he was making jokes ! I can´t forget the hair clip he had pulling back his love of locks! He will be greatly missed.
My prayers for everyone who is dealing with such a loss. God is faithful and we must trust in his plans, even though we may not understand them.
