I was saddened to learn about Jaciel’s passing, and I want to let you know that I am deeply sorry for your loss. He was such a wonderful individual , who gave soo much of himself and his life to his family , his Church and the Community at large. He was also a good father who set an excellent example for his children as he cared deeply about each of them
I know there is nothing I can say to ease the pain, but please know that I am praying for your entire family as you pass through this very difficult time of his transition. May God bless, keep, comfort and strengthen all of you and may his eternal soul rest in peace and rise in glory . Much love is sent your way!
