Deportee inspired many

On May 1, you did a story on Jose Corado and his family — who was deported to Guatemala.

As you know, Jose had cancer. He fought with every ounce of his strength. On Aug. 5, he went home to his heavenly reward, surrounded by family and friends. No more pain, no more suffering, no more cancer.

I don't think it is possible to fathom the lives that God touched through Jose. I rejoice, not mourn, his passing for his sake and push back my sorrow of not having him here. He lived every day with a faith seldom seen.

My life, and the lives of those who knew him, will forever be impacted by his faith, his courage and his strength against all odds. !

Thank you, Deborah Bulkeley, for time you took to sit down with Jose and hear about his faith and his family.
