I so miss my primo Ray. I thank God He brought him to live with me a few years ago, so we had more time to make more memories. May God comfort all his children and g-children. The pain is hard. But may you all find comfort knowing he's in God's Kingdom riding a Harley free of pain. I Love and Miss Him So Much It Hurts!! Be Strong My Family!! Love You All. Diana R. Vela (Gomez) (cousin &cho'cho's daughter)
