Oscar I. Romo

Mission Accomplished.  Oscar I. Romo passed away Friday, January 16 at his home.  

What can I say about Oscar, he was my husband’s boss.  For many years they worked together at the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board) in Atlanta, GA and through working together they became friends.  Even after his retirement, they would call each other often and visit on the phone.  Just last month, Fermin was able to visit with him while in Atlanta.

Oscar was honored and respected by many in the Southern Baptist Convention.  During the Southern Baptist Convention held in San Antonio, TX in 2007 he was honored and given an achievement award.  You can see him receiving the award on the photo above accompanied by his wife Merry and his grandson Phillip.

Merry, Nelson, Miriam, Steve, Melissa, Phillip and Niki – Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  May God give you comfort during this time.

“Everyone leaves footprints in our memory, but the ones that leave footprints in your heart are the ones we will truly remember” -copied   Rest in Peace Oscar I. Romo.

For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.  2 Corinthians 5:1
