Uncle Ramon, although we miss you so much, we see and feel your spirit around us vividly, especially in Michelle and Lisa, the beautiful daughters that you and Aunty so lovingly raised.
We see your smile, hear your laughter and will pass on your stories fondly. Throughout your life, you have shown us to embrace discovery and to learn new things – that curiosity often leads to great adventure.
I will always remember your generosity – you entrusted your Nissan Sentra to Donna and I, when you left for California, giving us our first set of wheels. For this we remain ever grateful.
Rest in peace dear Uncle and watch out for us from above.
We love you always xoxoxo
