To Rios Family- I share in the loss of Grandpa Big...as Raquel called him. I am praying that you all feel God's love as He holds you all in His arms. You will miss him but you must live each day knowing he is in your heart. Ask Raquel where he is and she will tell you "In My Heart". Our love to you all.

Dear Rios Family:

Only God can know what you are all feeling in your hearts now, and only He can restore your spirits. The 23rd Psalm may offer some comfort in this time of difficulty. Death is only the beginning of a more perfect and beautiful everlasting life. Heaven has received a new member

I’ll be praying for the Rios family during this difficult time. May God’s love and grace be with the entire family always.
