Obituary For Filiberto Ochoa Lemus

Entered into rest on November 3, 2012 in Fremont, CA at the age of 101. Devoted father to David Lemus, Guillermo Lemus and his wife Rachel, Elena Lemus, and Carmen Lemus-Sanchez and her husband Elias. Beloved grandfather of Mariaelena, Leticia, Monica, Guillermo, Jr., Andres, Veronica, and Gabriel. Loving great-grandfather of Roberto, Julian, Sara, Elvis, and Shantel. Proud great-great grandfather of Vivianna. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Preceded in death by his wife Maria N. Lemus in 1998, by his son Ismael Lemus in 2007, by his grandson Gerardo Lemus in 2007, and by his daughter-in-law Sara Lemus in 1990.

Born November 11, 1910 in Penjamo, G.T.O., MX, Filiberto was the kindest person who surpassed all adjectives that you could use to describe a person. He was kind to his family and kind to his friends. He was always ready, with his beautiful smile, to help those who needed a hand or to give positive advice when there was a problem. He had a way of making you feel like nothing in this world was difficult. He always had the right words to make you think that life was beautiful and that there was nothing to worry about. He was the most wonderful man on Earth.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 8, from 5-8pm with a Vigil at 7pm at Fremont Chapel of the Roses, 1940 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, November 9, 10am at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church, 703 C St., Union City, CA 94587. Burial will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hayward, CA.

    Dear Family, There simply are no words to express the sorrow we felt when Carmen telephoned us with the awful news of the death of Filiberto, we can only imagine how devastating this must be for you. God will definitely show you the way to smiling again. We know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with your father and all the love he gave you throughout the years. He is not gone. He will live in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad and difficult time. Wishing you peace and healing, Family García Lemus

    En este momento tengo roto el corazon lo que mas queria en el mundo se me ha hido, yo se que Uds. mi familia tambien estan sufriendo al igual que nosostros la inmenza perdida de nuestro ser querido, que tanto amor nos dio' a todos los que tuvimos la dicha de convivir poco tiempo como los que tuvimos el infinito don de haber vivido con la mayor parte de su vida, dia a dia gosando de su amor, su saviduria, su optimismo, su alegria, en otras palabras su belleza universal.Les digo esto pues para mi en lo personal la perdida de mi Padre tiene un valor incalculable. A mi solia hablarme muy a menudo acerca de la vida, dandome a entender que no hay rason para preocuparse , si uno sabe ser optimista, analizar los acontesimientos detenidamente, tratar de arreglar lo que se puede y lo que no, dejar de preocuparse por loque no tiene remedio. Asi hera mi Papa' y asi lo voy a recordar todos los dias de mi vida, el mejor Papa de el mundo.En los ultimos 2 dias de su vida en el Hospital no podia dejar de hablar su voz hera diferente a los ultimos anos, su voz hera como cuando estaba joven, hablasba con mucha gallardia, sus palabras no heran incoherentes, simplemente que no estaba hablando de el presente sino que estaba recordando de los anos de su juventud, cuando el trabajaba en Tranvias, en Mexico y cuando trabajo' en la compania de Construccion de Underground, cosas que ignorabamos, estabamos sorprendidos de que por mas de 12 horas las enfermeras no lograron hacer que durmiera, ni por un minuto. Era como si pesintiera que si se dormia ya no podria decirnos todo lo que por tantos anos traia en su cabeza y no nos lo habia dicho antes, eso no podre olvidar jamas.Eso tambien ha sido un gran consuelo, estuvimos con el hasta el ultimo de sus suspiros para cerrar sus ojitos, que dios me lo guarde y que siga luchando por nosotros, como en su juventud lucho' por tanta gente, desde ese lugar tan especial donde estoy segura que se encuentra gosando de la presencia de nuestro Senor Jesucrist
