Dear Terri,

I don't know if you remember I met you and your family while Ramon and I were dating 31 years ago.

Thank you for your beautiful tribute to him on your web page. It has been almost six months since his passing, and all who knew him miss Ramon. He is now one of our Guardian Angels in Heaven.

Best Regards Always,
Mrs.Ramon Oquendo "Diana"
