He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

All of us at the Crystal C. Chavez Foundation would like to personally send our deepest prayers and condelecences to the family of Agustin Roberto "Bobby" Salcedo.

Salcedo a product of Mountain View High School and member of the El Monte City School Board, was gunned down with five other men on New Year's Eve in the Mexican town of Gomez Palacio. He and his wife were visiting his wife's family there for the Christmas holiday (San Gabriel Valley Tribune Online).

Nothing can prepare you death especially an unexpected and tragic one like Bobby's, but I (like many Americans) find peace and comfort with God and I know that He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. He allowed Bobby's life to be an example for us all and we should rejoice in celebrating his life and keeping his values alive and moving forward in our community.

Bobby, we will never forget you and thank you for giving us your life to celebrate and remember always.
