Blessings to Gonzaga's family and friends on his birthday

Praying special blessings on all Gonzaga's family, his dear mum, brothers, and all those who still hold him close in our hearts.

May you find comfort in the loss of this amazing, irreplaceable man.

May you find joy in the memories of our special times with him.

And may you be thankful for the better person you are for having known and loved him.

Peace and joy,
Paul

Happy Birthday Gonzaga

Happy Birthday Gonzaga,

I was painting a mural yesterday at Valley Medical Center in the Child Services examination room and I swear I could feel your presence while I was painting. Then I remembered that you were a recreation therapist for many years at VMC and worked directly with abused children at summer camp. If it is possible to get a "visit", I certainly enjoyed your laughing presence as you suggested I use the medical stool with wheels instead of standing. As I spun around the room with my brushes and pallette I thanked you for your great suggestion.

Miss you lot's, but now I know you visit and I can always have a pleasant chat and some practical advice even when I wasn't asking.

love,
Valerie McNeal

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GONZ

Dear Gonz

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

As you would always say "LIFE IS GOOD".
Till this day how can I forget the last 10 days that we spent together.
I will treasure every moment with you and my son Nikhil.
The lovely time we had at the Safari, our chats etc.

Hope you are with the angels and praying for us.
Until we meet again.

take care

Happy birthday dear brother

Hi Everyone

Today is my brother Gonzaga's birthday.

I use to wait for this day each year as he would always call me from the States a couple of days earlier to ask me 'Anand, what is my birthday gift this year'.

And I would always tell him 'Gonz, you ask and you will get it'.

He would immediately replay in his unique inimitable style 'Oooh, its ok Anand. LIFE IS GOOD'

That is our brother and our unforgettable true and genuine friend GONZAGA

Happy Birthday, Gonz!

Happy Birthday, Gonz. There is not a day that goes by when your family and friends do not think of you and remember you with great affection. On this special day, your birthday, I pray for your complete peace and joy with Christ.

I enjoy the memory of your smiling face and large heart and it makes me happy again.

Love,

Your old friend,

Eric Lane
