My sympathy goes out to the Rivera and Nieves Families. Grieving the loss of a loved one is so very difficult, our hope is to be with them in eternity if Jesus tarries. Grateful for Alfredo’s testimony to his family, grandchildren and great grandchildren. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! Hallelujah!
