Can’t forget when we were in Michelle’s living room and I nearly passed out breathless from laughing at Raul frantically trying to guess clues from a game of Heads Up. Bugg and I are happy to have known and shared a bit of our lives with your Pops ❤️ Love you guys.

John 14:2-3
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
God Bless you My Brother in Law .
Love Joetta and Family
So thou gracious hands of love
Has risen his soul
As a drooping star above that’s lost its glow
For in thou greenest of meadows and bluest skies
All the angels came forth to be near his side
We shall always remind each and all
One day his love will come to call
For now we give best, and send our loved one at rest
So when we glance up at the nearest star
We will ponder, wink, and nod to Raul
For he shall be by our side, for now until eternity dies
