I am not very good with words especially in times like these, but I wish I had once last chance to tell Dr. Gonzaga what a wonderful professor and friend he was. In the six years I knew him, he was always there to support me and other students. He had a way of lifting your spirits when you needed it. It showed that he truly cared for the people around him, his family, friends, students, colleagues, etc. I am so blessed to have known Dr. Gonzaga and it touches my heart knowing what an impact he had on the lives of others. Intially I questioned why God would take him away from us so early, but I know now that Dr. Gonzaga fulfilled the will that God had set out for him. I know that Dr. Gonzaga is with his lovely God and looking down as on us smiling, wanting us to cherish the memories we have of him and living our lives to fullest. His passing has put things in persepective for me and I hope we can all remember to cherish those we love and tell them how we feel before it's too late. Dr. Gonzaga had call me awhile back and left a message asking how I was doing. I regret not getting back to him sooner. I still have that message and everytime I listen to it, it no longer makes me sad. Instead his message gives me peace and I appreciate that he cared enough to call me. Dr. Gonzaga, I miss you dearly. May you rest in peace.
Always,
