Not sure what to say?

Tio Raul,
Your family misses you dearly. I'm going to miss seeing you at my father-in-laws house, your brother Robert. From the first day I was introduced to the Santillan Family, you have always been so kind and friendly. The both of us could talk about work for hours. You watched me grow up with your nephew Robert Jr. and never judged us when we constantly made wrong decisions...today I am a Sheriff Dispatcher, still you treated me the same. I will always love you for that. ...

May God bless you in these days to come. Our prayers are with you and your family, as you reflect on the life of your Father, Granfather, uncle, or friend.

Uncle, 35 years ago,you welcomed me into the Santillan Family with such grace,love and respect.Always gracious,and ready to laugh!And laugh and party we did! (and sang Freddy Fender at GUYS )Ruben & I loved you!..I know Uncle you are well and in familiar hands now..Be at peace and guide our way~ With devoted love. Gail and Ruben Santillan

Tio Raul we will miss you dearly, sorry we didnt spend more time together, but the time we did spend was priceless. My prayers to all of the Santillan family......there are no words that could possibly comfort you during this time of loss, but in time you will find peace in knowing that he is in a much better place, pain free and looking down on all of us. God Bless you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

It was a privilege to know Raul these last 6 months. He always made the effort to be a cheerful and gracious host during my visits, no matter how unwell he might have felt. I loved hearing his stories and greatly admired his kind, optimistic spirit. Deepest condolences to Carol and her family, to Raul's children and grandchildren, and to his many friends who, like me, will miss him dearly.
