My deepest condolences to the Claudio family. May your fond memories bring you comfort and peace. Keeping you all in my prayers.

No amount of words will ever be able to explain the amount of heartache your passing has caused. No amount of words can even begin to explain the wonderful person you were Tío Papo. I’ve truly been blessed that I can say I ever got to know you, love you, and laugh with you. Thank you for the endless laughs and memories. You positively affected the lives of so many people. You’ve left behind a community, a family, and you will be greatly missed. I would do anything to go back and relive this past Christmas when we were all celebrating together. You will be missed forever by so many, but you will never be forgotten. I love you.

My prayers and condolences to the Claudio family.  May the Lord comfort you & give you peace!
