Silvio Lazo-Madera

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh." 2 Corinthians 4: 7-11

Silvio Lazo Madera left his family in Cuba over 30 years ago and was never able to return to see them, although he kept them close in his heart. Throughout his life, he learned to depend on God alone, because he didn't have anything else. Both of his parents are deceased, but he is survived by many siblings, nieces and nephews in Cuba whom he loved very much. Eternal Rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and let Perpetual Light shine upon him. May he rest in Peace.
