FRANCISCO SERRANO CALLED TO GLORY

By Noel Serrano

Francisco Serrano, the beloved Patriarch of the Serrano family, quietly passed away in his sleep today at Kindred Central Hospital in Tampa, Florida. He was ailing for several months and revealed a quiet inner strength during his struggles with a recent stroke. Francisco surprised his doctors recently, as he showed a strong will to survive and to beat the overwhelming odds. Tonight, the Serrano family has lost their great Treasure. For me, his passing is agonizing. My comfort is in knowing that He lives now in a far better place and that I will be wth him one day. Francisco loved life to the fullest and embraced a capacity to demonstrate an unusual stamina for his age and for his condition.


Plans are now under way for a Military Styled Funeral to honor the Serrano Elder who served in WWII and dedicated his entire life to the service of God, His family and the Country that he loved. Francisco Serrano will be long remembered as a Humble servant of the Lord. He was a Man that never harmed anyone. He tried so hard to help people each day and demonstrated the Love of Christ in every situation. He loved all his ever-growing family. Now he rests in the arms of His Creator and now goes on to receive his rest and his reward. What a Life! What a Man! What a Father and what a Legacy!
