To my dear cousins;
I apologize for not being able to attend my Tio Ralph's services as I was out of town. I just want you all to know that my Tio and Tia were very special to me and my children, Vanessa & David. I will always be grateful to Tio Ralph and Tia Mercy for taking care of my Vanessa, who just adored and loved both of them. My Tio was always a very giving person and had such great sense of humor. I know he loved all of you and all of his in laws, nieces/nephews very much. He will be missed but I know he is blessed being in Heaven with my Tia, my Dad & Mom and the rest of our family.
God Bless you all, Love Sara Mendivil & Family

My Tio Ralph, was one of the most kindest person I have ever known who always had a smile on his face and who laughed at his own jokes. I will miss him but I also know that he is in heaven with my Tia and all of our beloved relatives who have past. God Bless You, Tio! Love, Martita
