Dear Vaz family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your husband and father was a great man. I remember him and his caring nature when we were at 10:00 a.m. Sunday Mass and a baby was just looking at him. He picked up the baby and carried him for a little while with such ease. He later told me that's why he has 5 great kids. RIP Sr. Serafin Vaz.
