I recall when R.J. helped me with a 2nd grade project @ St. Mary Catholic School. The assignment called for me to create a poster encouraging reading on a daily basis. R.J. helped me draw a little girl reading to her pony. The caption read: Whoever Reads is a Smart Person. I won 2nd place in the Book Fair! Should I rephrase that & say that R.J. & I won 2nd place? That was the man R.J was. He gave time, encouragement, & love to all whom he met & shared a life. I am grateful for teaching me that when we help others, we live a life well-lived.
R.J. taught us daily & life-long lessons. Appreciatively, Charlotte Sandoval
