Growing up living next to my Tio Raul and the family
I've learn a lot of things from Tio Raul about life but most of all respect others he was like a dad to me I look up to him remembering that big smile he always had no matter what was happening in life. Every time I ask for a ride to the pronto market he would take me that way I wouldn't have to walk lol. He Taught me how to drive coming back from the ranch when I went to cut asparagus and taught me a lot of skills that I would need in life he was so amazing and I'm glad to call him my uncle we love you Tio RAUL.

My Tio Crunch will forever be in my heart. From his smell when I hugged him ( he always smelled so good) to when he used to tell me I reminded him of his brother (my dad), which always made my heart happy. My deepest condolences to my Tia and my primo's and prima's. May you all find comfort in each other and the great memories you all shared with your father. Hugs to you all.

My Padrino gave me a sense of worth, belonging, and gentleness when I had none. There is nothing I could do or say to express how meaningful that has been in my life, or how grateful I am for his compassion and acceptance. Thank you…forever Padrino. ~Rest in Peace & God Bless You~
