On November 25, 2008, my mom's brother, Raul, was shot and killed. It was news that devastated the family, especially for my mom, during a time like this. Uncle Raul was the most loving, energetic and hard-working person we will ever know! He leaves behind 5 young children that he will now watch over from above. He will also be guiding my mom through her journey. He will be greatly missed!
