Take this time to remember and share all those cherished happy fun-filled moments. It is in those precious memories when laughter is born and smiles break away the pain of our loss that we are able to heal our hearts. There are no words to express the respect we hold for your family, and pray we do not offend by looking for some lightness to ease your pain as we know no other way to express our deepest sympathies. We pray for healing and unity of your great family during this sad time.

No words can express my feeling at this very difficult time, my father told me that no parent should have to loose a child, but he was able to smile and remember my brother before his passing and this is my wish for you both in time to find comfort in his memory and smile when you think of him and may time make the pain in the heart easier.

My thoughts and Prayers are with your family. I cannot express my sorrow as I am lost for the words. Ruben was a good friend and I will always remember our shared times.

To the Flores Family, Ruben was a very special person, he always gave 110% to everything he did. There are many people that owe their aviation careers to Ruben, their P.A.M.A. scholorships paid for with money raised by Ruben. He will be sorely missed. May God give you comfort in your hour of need... Ruben, for 27 years I was proud to call you friend, till we meet again, Rest in Peace.

our most sincere sympathy to all of us that were touched by Sonny's life. We met Sonny as a young boy. His Aunt Amanda & uncle Jaime introduced him and his family into our lives many years ago, although we did not see him We were kept informed by them as to how things were going for him. My husband Albert has a personal loss much like the one you are experiencing and is keeping you in prayer to the Holy Spirit. God is good and is waiting for us to call on him for all our needs. It is too soon for healing but with God's help it can happen, God Bless you Martha & Albert Tobar San Antonio, tx.

Ruben, there are no words to describe the empty feeling this world will have without you in it...you have been a huge influence on my life since we first met nearly 20 years ago. If it weren't for you, one lifelong dream of mine would never have materialized. So many great memories, saddened that we can't have more. I will always have a picture of you in my mind with that huge, sincere smile...and a cigar between your teeth, of course! I will miss your friendship and laughter. Your family is in my prayers as they try to find a way to say goodbye and deal with the horrible loss of you in their lives. Rest in Peace...I love you, my friend!
