Dear Cousin Leonilde, Rudolfo, Odette, all cousins, family, and friends,

Our condolences to all.

Primo Joao was a role model, always with a happy spirit, loving words and his jokes was a delight - we couldn't stop laughing! He loved Portuguese cuisine so much, Prima Leonilde had expertise on this and prepared with so much love. This lovely couple enjoyed sharing their home and their superb foods and deserts. We all have so many fond memories of great times spent together as a family. Thank you for always being in our life!
May God help you Prima Leonilde, Rudolfo, Odette and all of us to find strength on His memory and legacy. May the lovely grandchildren find the same comfort as well.

Love and hugs,
Helena & Frank Ganhadeiro

My condolences Rudy to you and your Mother. So sorry for both of you in losing a Dad and a Husband. When I look back over my childhood years growing up I can’t help but think of you and your parents and all the good times we shared together 😀 my memory of your Dad will always be one filled with his gentleness and kindness towards me. May he Rest In Peace.
