To the Cano family-
I knew your family when I was very young growing up in River Oaks. My brother, Tony Ray was a friend of Ralphs. We always knew you as a very loving family whose parents were jewels. We understand your grief as we just buried our father 91 last friday. We will pray for your comfort as you hold tight to your precious memories. Peggy Ray Saladino
