I received this e-mail from an Abreu family member:
In my net searches I came across the obit of my uncle. The point of this e-mail is to correct the last sentence in his obit, "He was predeceased by all his siblings." This is incorrect. My father, his older brother, Fernando Pinto Abreu, age 81, is still alive and well living in Mesa, AZ. All the others, 2 brothers and 2 sisters, have passed on.
Thank you.
