Certainly, we can all agree that as one of our original Spanish families, their commitment to public service was unparalleled.
Medicine, politics and education. Devout Catholics, the Sorhaindos of Delices brought a very determined professionalism and uncompromising ethical model, to the marketplace. They were examples to us all.
May the Lord continue to bless and keep them.

My condolences to the family, I am a friend of the siblings and have been touched eternally by the mercy shown to me. God has touched me through this family and it is my wish to show others if it is possible this side of Heaven, the love of God this family has shown this humble servant in Christ.
