May Victor's "home coming" be a wonderful spiritual celebration and experience for all of his loving immediate family and extended loving family and friends. For those who are away from the God of Love May they come "home". For those who are alienated from others or an other, may they be reconciled. For those who are afflicted by a life of self afflicted brokenness or sin or addiction may this celebration of "Uncle Vic" bring healing and new life a day at a time. It is my honor to be the priest/presided for Vic. He and all the Gonzalez family are a blessing to our world. Blessings and prayer.

Vic - You havve only to observe the family members you leave behind to measure the impact you (and Betty) have had. By that standard you have every right to be proud, and I know you are. I have always considered you to be a good friend. I will miss you now. Who now will laugh at my dumb comments at the dining room table? Peace, my friend.
