Like the ripples in a pond, the work of one man can spread out and touch the lives of many others. Brother Raul certainly lived his life as a living sacrifice to the Lord he loved so much!

Raul, "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."

Graciella, You know that I love you dearly. Our prayers continue for your peace and comfort from the Lord.

God Bless,
Carol (Frazier) Montgomery,
Rev. Richard Montgomery
