Nuestras más sinceras condolencias a la familia Cavazos. Ha dejado un gran vacío en su tienda. Ruben´s no ha sido ni será igual sin el Sr. Rubén Cavazos, a quien últimamente mirábamos muy de vez en cuando. Hemos perdido un gran caballero, único como los de su generación. Siempre mostró mucha amabilidad, respeto y agradecimiento a sus clientes. Lo vamos a extrañar muchísimo!
