"My heart goes out to the entire Ruiz family. My uncle was an angel, I remember times when my brother and I would go to the La Lupita to purchase a couple of items AND come back home with bags full of food (I also remember struggling to carry those bags). Due to his LOVE for family he helped my parents place food in our tummies, we never went to bed hungry. Thank you!!!
The story above is only one in over a million memories my uncle has left on earth. My tio Otilio leaves not only memories but great legacy. I am confident he is being loved in heaven with friends and family with his loving smile.
Love,
Mario, Angelica, Patricia, Mariano & Marcelo Gutierrez
