Raul (my brother Roberto's father-in-law) was a symbol of love, peace and kindness. Raul had a good sense of humor - although he never used colorful language, he laughed at those who did use it! God bless you Raul, I enjoyed your friendship.

Mrs. Montalvo and family:
I am very sorry for your loss of your husband, father, grandfather.
I attended high school with Barbara (it's been a long time). I used to be at your house a lot during high school and remember how gracious you and your husband were to me. I thank you for that.I saw this and had to write to hope all of you will be comforted by God at this difficult time. Sounds like you have a very nice family.
