Update on Socrates Perez Memorial
El Dr. Socrates Osiris Perez; mi Abuelito
My grandfather, the original Socrates Perez, passed away on Thursday morning, July 9th, 2009. While we are deeply saddened by the loss of such a great and loving man, we rejoice in knowing that he is with our Savior, Jesus Christ, suffering no more of the pain of this world.
As we look ahead to honoring the full life of Dr. Perez, we are solidifying plans for his upcoming memorial. Here are the details at the moment:
- The official viewing will take place on Wednesday evening, July 15th, from 5:00-8:00PM at the Baldwin-Fairchild Funeral Home in Winter Garden (428 E Plant St., 34787). For map and directions, please visit http://bit.ly/L9AFZ

We are immensely grateful to all of those who have been so kind and compassionate with our family, offering your support and prayers. Your walking alongside us during this time has meant a great deal to each of us. Please continue to be in prayer for our family, especially for my grandmother, Maria Perez. She has suffered a deep loss and we are closely monitoring her health as she endures this difficult process of grieving.
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.

Sweet Socs, I sure will be praying for you and your family… particularly your abuelita, Maria, during the coming days. Praise God for the legacy that your abuelo left to/in his “children’s children”. He must have been a very Godly man.
