Thank you all. For your comments for Herculano
Paul, My brother John informed me of your father’s passing.
My sincere sympathies to you. My mother, Evarista was one of your father’s sisters and I am one of her children. I remember your sister Zulmira, but I believe you and I have never met, at least if my memory serves me well.
May the Good Lord comfort you in your loss, and be assured of my prayers.
Rest in peace Uncle Herculano
Paul,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
