Angie, Delfina, David, Roland, Yolanda, Steve and Roy, My Prayers go out to you ALL and your children, and to the Rest of the Family (I hope I didnt leave anyone out) Our Families have come and gone and with the Grace of God we somehow still find a way to keep in touch, I really wanted to go with Leslie to the Rosary, but I want you to all know you are in my Prayers. Raul was a Great Man, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Friend and just an Awesome Person, I know Poncho will be glad to see him. It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through, may God Bless you All through out the years and may He now Rest In Peace. Love always, Carrie ^i^ and may there always be an Angel to watch over you...
