It´s been awhile since I´ve written. We still think and pray for peace for your family. Since Ronnie passed, so have many of our relatives. My own Mom & Dad, my sister in law, both of my Uncles. Aunt Rita and Ray are now gone. We pray they are all together again. Just wanted to let you all know we still hold Ronnie and his family in our thoughts & prayers. God Bless

Dear Esparza Family,
It's coming up to a year that we have been without Ray. We hope the struggle you faced without him has made you stronger. We have a new President Elect and Ray never got to see the first mixed raced american become President. It is a major event in history. I am not sure where Ray stood on politics, but I am sure he would have seen the good in this person and hope for his family's future would improve with this change. We just wanted you to know we think of you all often and wish to peace.

It's already March of 2008. We are changing to daylight savings time. Soon it will be warmer weather and familiar things Ray would have done with his family or the house will not get done. I still think of you Ray and what you are missing. I am so sorry for that. Rest, we will all be together some day sooner or later.
I pray for your family that they stay well and remember all that you mean to them.

Dear Julie, Melissa and Aimee
I am sorry not to know any of you personally. We still feel your pain and sorrow for your loss. I am Frank Esparza's oldest daughter Frances. I introduced myself on Tuesday morning. My husband and I were there at the wake to pay our respects to the Esaprza family. I only recently had an opportunity to see Ronnie again when my Uncle Eco came into town and wanted to see his old friend Ray. Ronnie came with his dad that day. Ronnie was excited to talk about his family and daughters. He had given me his address and email with Bosch. I only wish that we had gotten together as we had promissed at the time. I am so glad he was loved and happy. We all have you and your daughters to thank for that. I wish you peace. It will take a long time to get used to being without Ronnie. When a gentle man, a loving man passes away before he is ready it leaves a mark on those he leaves behind. Oh, but the memories he left behind will remind us how much time he never wasted. I don't know when I will see you and your daughters again. But remember I will keep you in my heart and pray for your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time. Ronnie was always so very proud of his daughters; he would be especially proud of the incredible eulogy delivered by Melissa. Remember him in your heart and he will always be with you.
