To Uncle Abel's family. Our prayers are with during this time. Especially at this time when his eulogy for our father is still so fresh on our minds. My mother and me shared tears as she remembered him telling her at my dather's funeral she could now visit him in California. My Dad feared flying. She was overcome with sadness because she didn't want his funeral to be the reason for visiting him in California. Through all the miles. He is loved by his Texas family.
