Dear Tess, Paulina and Alex,
Please know you have a family in Cali, Richard's aunts and many cousins, on the Calero side that are grieving with you, yet celebrating Richard's life even though a great distance lies between us. I was lucky enough to have seen Richard in his childhood years back in LA and to have shared many happy moments with Glorita, Rami and Milena as well with my 2 sisters who were also there at the time. These are memories we cherish and we will never let go. Please think of us as your loving relatives and let's keep in touch. We have you in our thoughts and prayers.
