Although I have not seen Mr. Cavazos in many years since I left teaching at Donna High, I remember him well. He was a nice man, a gentleman in all sense of the word. I am happy to see that he lived to be such an age, 91, but I know he will be missed by his loved ones and friends. May
God bless Emilio Cavazos, Jr. and may God comfort those who miss him the most. Sincerely, Wayne E. Miller
