I miss my brother Gilber greatly, may he be in the loving presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Deddy, I wasn’t ready for you to leave. I wish that I was able to spend more time with you, but I thank you for everything that you’ve ever taught me and I thank you for whatever time you did give me to spend with you. I know that you are now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you will suffer no more . I love you and I miss you, until we see each other again ❤️
Rest in the peace of the Lord!
Patricia, Oscar, Sammy
I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man. I am so grateful to have known him and so grateful that he allowed me to be a part of your family. Will forever remember the trips in the banana van. He will be deeply missed, may your dad rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ🙏
I remember spending a lot of time with my best friend Patricia and loved spending time with her brothers Oscar and Sammy and Mom and Dad. Mr Mancillas was quiet but Stoic and we Girls probably drove him crazy with our laughing and silliness. But you couldn’t tell because He was always so friendly. He was kind and invited me with family on a trip to Slide Rock, which I’ll always remember. Rest in Peace Mr Mancillas!
Daddy. Me and the kiddos miss you so much. We thought we had more time with you. But you left us to soon, I know your not suffering anymore and I hated seeing you like that. I really hoped you had more time to spend with Reina, Pancho and your other grandchildren. Whenever I go over to be with mom the house isn’t the same anymore with you not there. I know you’re in good hands now with our Lord Jesus Christ until we meet again. I love you daddy ❤️
Dad, you left us too soon. I’m honored to be your son, and thankful for your guidance & wisdom and discipline Rest in peace as you are no longer in physical pain. Until we meet in Heaven. 🙏 ❤ Love, Sam.
I worked with Gilbert for 30+ years and he was the greatest guy I know.
Hope you are resting easy. We will all miss you dearly and remember the memories and legacy you left for us to treasure. Rest in peace ❤️
