We are very saddened by the news of Mr. Chagas' passing. Our family and the Chagas family were close when the "kids" were younger. Both my father, uncle and Mr. Chagas took the same path of leaving Portugal to work in Holland and then immigrating to Winnipeg, Canada in the 1960's. The wonderful memories your husband, dad & grandpa left behind should help you deal with the loss and to carry him forever in your thoughts and lives. Our sympathies to Sra. Lealdina, Lisa, Pedro & Lucy. - Posted by: Anna Camilo Fernandes & family (Family Friend) on: Mar 05, 2014
