Confíen en Dios, y confíen también en mí. En el hogar de mi Padre hay muchas viviendas; si no fuera así, ya se lo habría dicho a ustedes. Voy a prepararles un lugar. Y si me voy y se lo preparo, vendré para llevármelos conmigo. Así ustedes estarán donde yo esté. Ustedes ya conocen el camino para ir adonde yo voy.” –Juan 14:1-4 A visitation for Macario will be held from 5-9pm on Wednesday, December 17, 2013 located at the Perez Family Funeral Home Chapel, 1347 Del Norte Road in Camarillo.
