All the Navarro Family

To all of you I send all the love in the world. I grew up knowing Lallo and Maria and I loved them to the core of my heart.
Even though distance is there they were always in our hearts.
Sending so much love and care. Can’t wait to see all of our loved ones when the resurrection becomes REAL
Rev 21:4

The Navarro Family

We have many fond memories spending time enjoying association, meals, and working together at assemblies with Gonzalo and his family. Gonzalo was a happy, spiritual man of faith, with a positive attitude and he was a pleasure to be around. We’re thinking of you all at this time and look forward to the fulfillment of Jesus’ words at John 5:28,29.

Grandpa Gonzalo

I have been reflecting on the life of my dear Grandpa Gonzalo.  As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for close to 70 years, his life revolved around his faith.  He was a special person, not only to his family, but also to the many brothers and sisters he and Grandma studied with and formed close bonds with over the decades.  His strong faith in Jehovah's promise of a resurrection was something he viewed as precious.  We can be assured that he is safe in Jehovah's memory, along with Grandma Mary.  I will continue to miss our many chats, laughs, and big hugs.  I will hold these special memories very close until we are together again.

In memory of my Father

My Dad’s great love and affection for Mom and the entire family will always be remembered. Dad lived a long happy life and gave us a rich spiritual heritage.
In his youth, he helped in the family bakery, in Spain, he also worked for his brother-in-law, Pepe, in a sugar factory. His love of ships led him to become a sailor, as a marine engineer in the merchant marine he visited many different countries around the world. Aruba was very memorable, as this is where he became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses after studying with a missionary couple and was baptized in 1956. He continued to travel, finally stopping in New York where he met and married Mom. Shortly after, they moved to Winnipeg.
It brought him great joy to have his family serving Jehovah along with him. This was a special bond he shared with Mom; they loved helping others come to learn about Jehovah God.
We look forward to the resurrection hope, where Dad will be reunited with his loved ones and friends. - Revelation 21:3, 4
