Santos Fontanez

I’ve been blessed to have had such an amazing Father. Dad was one whom you couldn’t help but admire and respect. His meekness and kindness made you stand in awe. He stood firm in his faith and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He did not live life on his own terms, but whole-heartily surrender fully to the will of God and being guided by the Holy Spirit. Your greatest gift to us was not only your unconditional love for your family but your personal testimony on how God healed you of Hodgkin Lymphoma Cancer at the age of 24, that had metastasis. You were given 4-6 months to live.
