Dear Umagat Family,
As you celebrate the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ,you mourn the loss of Celino. That is understandable, and as it should be. You have not really lost him but he has just gone ahead to Heaven. Remember this – Bad times never last, but good friends do! We are praying for you.
Love in Christ,
Paul & Lyn Baker
Dear Auntie Mila & Abigail,
I have so many memories of Uncle growing up. So many memories in the past sixteen years that I’ve known you and that I will cherish forever. Losing him a week before Christmas must be hard, and I know you two are trying to cope with it all, but I know you can’t do it alone. We are all here for you both. Whether it be in person, on the phone, my e-mail. Uncle has gone to a better place, and he will be forever missed. But don’t forget that one day we will all get to see him again in God’s kingdom. I love you both and if you ever need to talk, you know where to find me. My thoughts and my prayers are with you both and with the rest of the Umagat family.
