I have many wonderful memories of Uncle Raymond, Aunt Mercy and my parents. Our families were very close. We did almost everything together. Uncle Raymond was my father's best friend. They both worked in the foundry, they drank beer together(listening to Mexican music), they would take my mother and Aunt Mercy to dances, together. We made tamales every Christmas Eve, and on every holiday weekend we had the best barbecues. And I should also mention that Uncle Raymond and my father liked to go to Detroit Tiger games .........you will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
