From Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Born on January 25 1954, Salvador Guzman studied at SF City College, and lived in San Francisco for over 20 years,
until he left us on Sunday, and made a peaceful transition at Maitri Hospice in San Francisco, after a long battle with HIV , (Salvador found out he was positive with the virus in 1994), at the age of 56, surrounded with loving family and friends.
Here is something he posted on his Facebook,
on which he last wrote on March 13, 2011....
which reflects his HUGE loving Spirit, so long Gentle Friend....
"I want to say…
"I want to say that life is very beautiful
I want to say that everything you ask you have in big quantities
I want to say that no one is responsible for anyone
I want to say if you are in bad you collect the worse from your surround
I want to say that if you create some good you get better from your surround
I want to say that everything you wish, everything comes to your hands
I want to say that God is our Pastor
And I want to finish saying that whenever you need him he’s in our hearts…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Salvador taught me the healing power of Forgiveness, at a time I was choking on old resentments, and the power of unconditional love.
I remain eternally grateful, until we meet again...
In Unity & Respect
