Pascual Lemus Cruz was born May 18, 1944 and is survived by his 2 children Paul Lemus & Griselda Rueda, his sister Margarita Lemus-Hernandez & brothers Daniel Lemus & Santiago Lemus. He is now joined with his 2 other children Elizabeth Lemus & Jorge Lemus which passed at birth. Our father immigrated here from Mexico in the late 70’s to provide a better future for his family. He always placed God 1st in his life and with hard work, sacrifice & dedication, he was able to accomplish all the goals he set out to do. My sister & I couldn’t have asked for a better father to lead us thru the most difficult journey called “life”. With his wisdom, not only did he lead us to Christ, but countless many others also. There wasn’t anyone he came across that he wouldn’t share the love of Christ with and the good news of salvation! He was a friend to everyone & a great encourager! Our father did not know the meaning of fear & although I’m sure he felt fear at times, he never allowed it in his life & was always optimistic inevery aspect or challenge in life. We will miss him deeply but will always cherish the beautiful memories he left us with & will forever be grateful for everything he did for us. His first love was Christ, and I’m confident he has heard the following words from his Master: “Well done, good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of they Lord” (Mathew 25: 23). This is a temporary separation & until we meet again Dad. With much Love, Respect & Admiration from your children, grand-children & your in-laws!
