Although I did not personally know Dr. Fonseca, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy. No doubt the loss of such a dear loved one will be felt by many. May your family find comfort in the fact that sickness and death will soon be things of the past as promised at Revelation 21:4.
