We just heard the news today about Fidel's passing and it is so hard to process. Fidel is a wonderful, hard-working, and spritual man. He always had a kind word and a friendly smile each and every time he crossed your path. Your earthly vessel has left us, but you are still in all of our hearts.

We pray for the family and that they have all the strength and courage that they need to make it thru. God is truly able and will see each of us thru this time. God Bless

Bernadette and family
We all miss Fidel so much, he was a very kind, friendly and loving person who took care of everyone around him at every opportunity! He always had a smile that lit the room and he had special words for all that needed them. I am so glad that he is no longer in pain, even though that leaves pain for us here on earth, we will see him again one day and it will be joyous! I cherish the pictures from the day at Healing Springs! I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers for a long time to come.
