Jose Luis Lincoln

I lost a good friend today. I know he isn't really lost but it feels like it. We met Jose and Rosario about 15 years ago when Kira was in the sixth grade. Their oldest daughter, Claudia became good friends with Kira and from there our families came to become good friends as well. In October of 2003 Jose was diagnosed with cancer. It was all through his body and he was given 3 to 6 months to live. Through the prayers of many and through the faith of Jose and his family he was granted four extra years. He was able to see his son graduate from high school and Claudia graduate from college. He was also able to encourage Rosario through the very difficult process of becoming a certified dentist here in the US. Rosario was a dentist in Mexico and as of last month she is now practicing here in San Diego. This morning Jose passed peacefully on to the next life and even though we know he is in a better place we sure do miss him.
