My deepest condolences to the Rivera family. It was a pleasure to care for him. He was the patient but he brightened up my day with his presence. He loved his family and was loved by his family. Thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity.

My father received the best care from his medical team. You were the reason why he lasted so long.
He fought hard until the very end and we were blessed to have been given the time we had with him.
Thank you

Thank you Rose, Boris, Carol, Daniel and Katie,
My father remembered you all fondly. My parents had spoken about you all recently. They took great joy in watching Daniel grow up into the adult he is today. They loved being part of your family.
He was a great man, we know he will be missed by many. Than you for your kind words, they mean so much to my mom and the rest of our family.
Love you all

Words cannot express what you and your family are feeling. Your father was such and great man with a huge heart and great smile. Never forget that one place he will never leave is your heart. When you want to see your father again, close your eyes and place your hand on your heart and you will see him smiling and laughing with you. If you need someone to talk to just know I am always here. God Bless you always. Now God took his child and gave you an angel for life..
