Raul Ortega

My son, my Rudy. Life took you too soon, but in my heart you will always live. I will always remember your great smile and your wrestling years. I always admired your dedication for what you loved. When I watched you wrestle, I always knew you were passionate about it.

When you got older your life was tough, but I am so grateful you found your way out and were trying to walk the right path. I was truly proud to see you turn your life around. I search for answers, as to why you were taken so young, and even though I do not seem to find any, I can still hear you say, “I LOVE YOU MOM” and can still see your charming smile over and over.

He knew heaven was his eternal home. “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, and eternal house in Heaven, not built by human hands.” 2 Corinthians 5:1
