My sympathy to all of the family and friends of Rafael II, and especially to Missy, whom I worked with at our mutual friend and writer, Marian Wolbers’ studio/office.  Surely, he will be missed. I only know Missy for a short time and, I  wish to express my good hopes, prayers and best wishes for all to get to a place of solace and comfort, knowing Rafael is in a better place. ~ Terri Lambert

Deseo espresar mi simpathia para la familia. La muerte un gulpe muy duro y nos deja con preguntas. Porque mueren nuestros seres queridos Romanos 5:12 dice ” Por eso, así como por medio de un solo hombre el pecado entró en el mundo, y la muerte mediante el pecado, y así la muerte se extendió a todos los hombres porque todos habían pecado.” Tambien pensamos adonde estas ellos la Biblia dice en Genesis 3:19 “Con el sudor de tu rostro comerás pan hasta que vuelvas al suelo, porque de él fuiste tomado. Porque polvo eres y a polvo volverás”. Jesus no da esperanza en Juan 5:28,29 a dice,”No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz y saldrán, los que hicieron cosas buenas a una resurrección de vida, los que practicaron cosas viles a una resurrección de juicio.”  Que estas palabras le tragan consuelo y les den esperanza a todos. Como nos dio a nuestra familia tambien.
