Tío Padrino Raul , Lo encomiendo a Dios ,creador del cielo y la Tierra.. Que descanse en los brazos del Señor ,quien fue el que lo formó . Y a Santa María y Los Ángeles y todos los Santos le den la bienvenida . Ahora que a partido de este mundo . Que Cristo que fue crucificado por usted le traiga libertad y paz . Que Cristo que murió por usted lo admita en su jardín del paraíso . Que Cristo el verdadero pastor lo abrace como uno de sus rebaños. Que él perdone todos sus pecados y lo coloqué en los elegidos … Descanse en Paz Tío Padrino Raul Lo vamos a extrañar mucho tío , lo quisimos mucho tío y padrino y siempre lo vamos a querer y lo llevaremos siempre en nuestros corazones 💕 Gracias por todo Tío Padrino Raul 🙏🤍🕊🌷😘 Miguel y Diana Zamarripa y Fam.🤍
A very decent man. They don''t make them like that anymore. Rest in peace, Compadre. May God bless your soul.
My fondest memory of my tio was going and getting palletas and being spoiled with the best breakfast.
