Brother to Brother

This afternoon I received very sad news from Brother Joe B. Cortinaz. His Brother in Law’s body functions shut down and the doctors could not get him to respond to medication. Eberto Mireles, age 48, went to the Lord today. He leaves his wife and two daughters, ages 12 and 10. Joe asks that we pray for the whole family and particularly for the repose of the soul of Eberto.

No arrangements were made at the time Joe called. The family of the deceased lives in Harlingen. When I receive additional information, I will let you know.

I received a phone call from Brother Joe B. Cortinaz today stating that his Brother In Law, Eberto Mireles who is only 48 years of age has suddenly become seriously ill. He is hospitalized and currently is not responding to medication. Problem has not yet been fully diagnosed but Joe says kidneys have shut down. Eberto is married and has a family of young children. (I did not get ages of children).

Joe B. and his wife have departed to be with family in the Harlingen area. Joe is one of my assistants. He is in charge of the Tootsie Roll fund raiser and other matters that I have assigned to him.

He asks for our prayers for his Brother in law and his family.

I will add information as it becomes known.

Pray the Rosary for Joe’s Brother in Law and family.
