I was on the internet today and I came to someone looking for Alvina or Raul Gonzales. This brought me Rachels obituary. I remember when we were in high school and then young mothers. I am sorry to hear about Rachel. I think of their family with fond memories. Tony, God Bless you and your family. Rachel is a wonderful person. I wish I could of been there but living out of state I was not aware of her death. Again, May God be with you and all the family.
