I met Emilio when I lived in San Antonio last year and we were neighbors. We shared our love to animals. Emilio was a kind and good man, always helping others. Every time I passed by his house, he greeted me with smile and something funny to say, and he brightened my day. Emilio was a wonderful man.

Ramona, please accept my condolences, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
