Daddy, there is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I miss you dearly daddy. You are the man I will always love for eternity. You are and always will be my 1st love. Every time I close my eyes I feel your warmth, your love your hugs. Wish I could see you one last time. My biggest wish is that one day I get to run to your arms, one day when we meet in the other life. You are now my biggest angel daddy. I miss you dearly. I hope you, Mr. Dickey, and Lolo are drinking coffee, and watching over us. Till we meet again daddy. Know that you are always in my mind and heart. Love you always. Our love is forever daddy. Don't ever forget that. Nuestro amor es para siempre.

Raul, you were a blessing to all who knew you. Even the last time I saw you when you went to make arrangements you asked about my mom and my family. My mom remembers how you would always call her "Tia". The love you gave to some many will be carried in our hearts forever. I pray we can give the same kindness you showed me and my family to others. You will be missed dear friend and always thought about with great respect and love. I will turn my thoughts of you into prayers for your wife, children, mom, dad and your entire family. " Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25-26 I believe and am confident that when I die I will be in heaven, I will see you there dear friend.
