Orando por la fortaleza de Dios con toda la familia. Delia,Abby y Roy, están en nuestras oraciones.
Tio Raul, Junior, Delia and Abby: We all have so many wonderful memories of Raquel, from Robstown TX, to Victoria, to El Campo and more. When she visited the Bloomington Assembly of God Church, the pastor always asked her to play and sing. Sometimes Mom sang “segunda” with her. Talented woman of God! She influenced many. She will be missed. May God comfort you as only He can!! Your family — Sylvia Flores and family; and Joel Flores and family
To the Rodriguez & Yañez family. My prayers are with you in your loss. We visited their home as we traveled. They always welcomed us to stay & then held hands as we gathered in prayer for us when we left. We wish there were more fervant families like them that believed in the power of prayer. We will miss our Tia Raquel & ask God to minister to the needs of the family at this most difficult time.
