Our family is so sad to hear of your loss, and I am glad I had the chance to meet Mr. Nunez.

I have worked many years with his daughter, Grace, and she has spoken of the strength and perseverance her dad instilled in her and her sisters growing up.
I am certain he is very proud of the family he led.
My heart goes out to his wife at this difficult time.

May God Bless your family and grant the peace which only God can extend.
