Memories I will always remember about my brother Aurelio are the time he spent with me in teaching me how to drive a car. Every weekend after visiting my sister-in-law Juanita in Reynosa, Mexico, Aurelio would get me behind the wheel to give me specific lessons in driving. This was done on one of the peaceful roads near Mission, Texas. He was patient and soft spoken. He looked forward to doing this for me and of course he enjoyed visiting Juanita who was his girlfriend at that time. Other special memories are the ones we spent visiting on the phone and sharing jokes so both of us could laugh and have a good time. Of course, we did talk about his favorite baseball and football games that he loved to watch. I will miss him, and I pray that our Lord will grant him peace as he journeys to God's Kingdom in Heaven.
