Dear Pedro, I am honored and blessed to have known you.... Dear Rivera Family: I am deeply saddened by your loss. May God give you comfort and peace and may He grant you strength to go through this moment in your lives. Confiamos en la promesa de que Pedro descansa en paz y esta en la presencia de Dios. Amen. Reciban nuestras sinceras condolencias. Lamentamos no poder estar con ustedes en estos momentos.
UN SALUDO MUY AFECTUOSO DE LA FAMILIA HARO FRANCO, ESPERANDO QUE LA PAZ DE DIOS QUE SOBREPASA TODO ENTENDIMIENTO GUARDE SUS CORAZONES. QUE DIOS LOS SIGA BENDICIENDO EN ESTOS MOMENTOS DIFICILES. UN ABRAZO A TODA LA FAMILIA..
The Rivera Family, It was with great sadness that I learned of "Big Pete's" passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and I hope that in a small way they help through these trying times. I will particularly remember Pedro’s dedication to the church, family and friends. He worked tirelessly in everything he did and most of all "Big Pete" was a good friend to all who knew him. I will always remember our happy times we had together. Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my friend,
My deepest condolences , wonderful loving memories he lives behind in my mind and hart. .He was a good friend and kind harted person. He would truly be missed. No doubt he is in heaven rejoicing in the presence of our Lord and Savior . God Bless.
My deepest condolences to the Rivera Family. May God give you strength and comfort during this hardship.
Rivera Family, I want to give you my deepest condolences. Pedro was a true servant of God. I remember when he would encourage the jovenes to participate in the Alianzas Juveniles. These gatherings strengthen my faith and purpose of God in my life. I want to say Thank you and may God comfort and strengthen all your family during this hardship.
Mis oraciones para toda la familia, siento su dolor pero recordando que Dios es nuestra esperanza quién nos manda paz y consuelo.
Reciban nuestras condolencias. Revelacion o Apocalipsis 21:4 dice que "Dios limpiara toda lágrima de los ojos y la muerte no sera mas", Y en Hechos 24:15 dice que "va ha haber una resurrección". Entonces podemos tener la confianza de que nuestro creador Jehova Dios muy pronto acabará con toda la maldad y el sufrimiento esto incluye las enfermedades y la muerte. Además nos deja saber que tiene el deseo de devolverles la vida de nuestros seres queridos que hayan muerto y lo cumplirá.
My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the Rivera family for your loss. Heaven has gained a tall angel. Be comforted in knowing that Peter is now resting from all Earthly pains. He has gone back to His Heavenly Father. Rewards are great in Heaven for Peter. Even through his illness, he always managed a cheerful hello.. Gone too soon but will we never forget him.
Descansa en Paz amigo. Gracias por tu amistad. Estaras en nuestros recuerdos y en nuestras oaciones... Jorge Torres - United High School Class of 86
