Vicki, Ricky, Tinker, Trini, & Dee… I’m so sorry to hear about your dad passing. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with your family when we were growing up.

Dear Trinidad and family, We are so very sorry for the loss of your father. Ramon was mine and my sister’s karaoke buddy. He blew us away when we heard him sing! We had a lot of good times with him. The last time I talked with him several months ago, although he said he had fallen and fractured his hand and other injuries he was still chipper and jolly. I was thinking of him a few weeks ago and now I regret not calling him. It broke our hearts when we saw his obituary. He was a precious soul and very talented. We lost our father at age 89, he was a talented musical and taught most of us kids to sing harmony, to play a guitar, bass and violin. I certainly will miss talking to Ramon. May the Lord comfort you and your family during this sad time.
Love and prayers, Dianne and Donna

Praying for each of you to feel the comfort and peace of our Heavenly Father while you grieve the loss of your Dad. Enjoy the memories that make you laugh and feel warm and fuzzy. There should be many of them. Your Dad had such a crazy sense of humor and he certainly made me feel like I was one of his own kids when we were growing up. I looked up to him, I admired his talents, and I loved him dearly. I only regret that I did not make time to visit Dad during his last years. But, I know I’ll see him someday!
Vicky, Ricky, Tinker, Trini, and Denise – you are all special people because of your parents. Do not hesitate to contact me and to reconnect.
