Blanca and Family,
On behalf of the Brown/Banuelos family,
We just found out about Raul, and we are so sorry to hear of your loss. We can truely say we know what you're going through right now, since we just lost my grandma (Jennie Brown) on Nov. 2nd. It really was like a second family seeing each other daily in Sub-Acute. At least we know they are in a better place now and no longer suffering. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Blanca y Familia,
We'd like send our condolences to you and all your family
on behalf of the Colon family. All of us.
I remember the first day we met Raul and Blanca. My Aunt
Emily and I were going to the Laundrymat in the Colonia and
my Aunt Emily saw this lady struggling with a child. Most people would have just ignored them but not Emily. She went
up to them and ask if she could help, Blanca was so shy but
very greatful. We found out they were from Puerto Rico just
like us, and that's all it took. My Aunt took them home to meet
Abuelo (Christino) and Abuela (Matilde) and they became family after that. Many have come and gone since Abuelo and
Abuela but, the family bond will always remain.
We'll keep your family in prayer knowing that you know that
Raul is in Heaven enjoying the love of the LORD.
May the LORD's peace be with you in your time of sadness.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

God Bless you,
Iris and Gary Buckner

Blanca, Ebelin, Raul Jr. & Family:

I was so heart-broken when I heard that Raul passed away. He was such a wonderful person who always had a smile and a warm greeting. Always remember him and always remember the good times you shared as a family. He will be missed.

My prayers and the prayers of the Colon Family are with you.

La Familia Martin, desde el Sur de Carolina, nos unimos en el dolor de la Familia Collazo por la perdida del Hno. Raul.

Siempre lo recordamos como un buen amigo y hermano en la Fe. Su caracter amigable y sonriente es lo que extranaremos en grande manera.

Dios envie al Consolador para fortalecer a la Hna. Blanquita y a sus hijos en este tiempo de profundo dolor. Recuerden que el Hno. Raul ha peleado la buena batalla y que finalmente ha alcanzado la recompensa que Dios ha preparado para todos los que le aman y le sirven.
