“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.” Author Unknown.

You ran the race set out before you. You are now resting in the arms of our loving Father…
You finished well.

We also want to give a special thanks to his extended family, an abundance of friends, and all Medical professionals who contributed to making Lalo’s last days of life the most peaceful. We will all miss him more than words can say.

There will be a Celebration of Life held in his honor at Getz Funeral Home at 2 pm Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 1410 E Bowman Ave. and also live streamed at https://getzfuneralhome.com. All your donations will go towards Lalo’s celebration of life and helping the family during this rough time.

[Psalm147:3]
