Dear Inez, Joe, and Marie,
I am so sorry for your loss of the most wonderful loving man I have ever met. This is a hugh loss for all of us who knew him and loved Raul. We are all in shock! It's hard to breathe to know that he has left us and is bound for heaven, my heart is broken and there are no words to express the sorrow that I am feeling for all of you. He gave my brother love, joy and showed him how to be a father with patience and love. He taught us all how to be a better person and find the beauty in the world. He was a husband, father and grandfather that everyone's dreams of having, his love flowed peacefully and constant like the North Star. He will be forever remembered for all his kind deeds, his gentle soul and a warm smile that touched the very soul of everyone he as ever met. Raul was loved by many people, he made me feel loved by looking into his soft beautiful eyes and his soft voice comforted me everytime I had the honor to be in his company. I will forever remember how he was with my nephews, they were his world and he was their world. I have so many wonderful memories of watching him with Kenneth and William everyone of them was precious. He was the perfect role model of what a man should be, a true gentleman. He walks with God now and flys with the angels; he is sending his love down from up above.
He will be forever missed by all who knew him but most of all his family members who were lucky enough to call him my husband, my dad and my grandfather. When you have quiet moments alone listen and let his love fill your broken hearts and always know that each of you was the most part of his life and you all made him the man he was by all the love you gave him. I truly believe he was a happy man who lived his life with intergrity and honor.
I love all of you!
Linda, Brian and Collin
