Have great memories of Mr Luna singing from his heart to the Lord with his guitar and his wife Efren harmonizing together. So sad to hear the news. But I praise God that he now SEES Jesus face to face.
I first met Tony at the old Canon Church en route to National Conference in Long Beach in 1940. There again, I enjoyed fellowship with Tony and remember well his singing with the guitar. Memories of God’s faithful children are a blessing.
I made a typo; it was 1950.
I was sad to read this announcement yesterday and tried to call the number that is in the 2011 directory but it did not work. So glad for the chance to visit you dear people a couple of years ago and now our husbands are rejoicing together in heaven. Praying for you.
