To The Sandoval Family: Your father's memory and spirit will always be with us. I remember, to this day, those wonderful tamales at the Christmas/New Year's Holiday - whenever I visited my family during this time, a stop at the Sandoval's was tradition. This earth is a better place because God saw fit to put your father on it. Gil Sandoval has left a living legacy in all of you. With love and remembrance.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I'll always remember Mr. Sandoval as the most loving and giving man. And on a lighter note, I'll never forget the 4th of July parties and all the fathers chasing each other with shaving cream acting like teenagers. What fun that was watching them...our Fathers :)

Siento mucho la muerte de su querido Gilbert. Da mucha tristeza perder un ser querido. Una escritura que siempre me da consuelo y esperanza es la que se encuentra en Revelacion 21:4 donde ahi Dios nos promete 'limpiar toda lagrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no sera mas, ni mas clamento ni mas dolor. Las cosas anteriores han pasado.' Que bonita esperanza para el futuro!
