I only spent a few hours knowing Ismael, but I guess it is from all the family stories told about his zeal and tenacious spirit that made me feel like I had known him for so much longer. The stories go on and on about his happenings and mishaps, like the time he found himself over his head slaughtering a cabrito for dinner. Pete says he came in looking like he had seen a ghost, and so Pete finished the job for him.

What I do remember was how welcome he made us all feel on our trip out to the San Joaquin Valley right around the turn of the millennium. I was new to the family having just married into it a couple of years before. He was very gracious and kind, as was his family. I am glad I knew him. Know that we will keep the Palomo family well in our prayers and that we are deeply saddened by your loss. Please be comforted by the realization that he suffers no longer and that paradise with Jesus is but a prayer away. God Bless.

What a handsome picture! I remember Mayelo teaching me how to dice an onion in Tollhouse, him finally talking to me after like 4 years when I made a joke about "Silence of the Lambs," and he always danced with me and hugged me back when I insisted on hugging him. I love your family and feel blessed to be an honorary member. My love and prayers are with you always. Love, me.
