           Hospital,  Augustine  was  called  home  to                                                                            Tribute by Brothers and Siblings
           the Lord after a brief illness. His departure
           leaves a profound void in the hearts of
           those who loved him, but his spirit lives on
           in the legacy of kindness, dedication, and
           faith he imparted. His journey reminds us
           that  a  life  of  service,  humility,  and  love
           is the greatest testament one can leave
           behind.
           In remembrance, we honor Augustine                                                                                                                                        just  an  uncle;  he  was  a  second  father,
