Although I was not able to be with you in person during this most difficult time, you know I am ALWAYS with you in spirit. My prayers have been with you since Krystle first called to tell me of Tio's accident. His birth into eternal life causes our pain as we mourn the loss of his presence among us. Needless to say, Tio O will be missed by many!!! However, let us call to mind the memories we do share and cherish every moment we were gifted and blessed to have with him. Let us thank God for the gift of his life and all he has meant to us individually and as a family. May his legacy continue to live on in those of us who loved him and were loved by him. Tio O now rests in the loving arms of our God and joins in watching over us all. To Michelle and the rest of the Ruvalcaba-Iracheta family, I extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy and promise you my continued prayerful support as you journey through grief. To my cousins 'Lil O and Krystle, I remind you of our family strength... you are never alone, we are all here for you!!! I embrace you with all my love and prayers! Remember I keep you ever close in my heart and always remember you in my prayers. Lovingly, Rosie
