Memories are everything, hold them close to your heart.

Richard was such an amazing man with a heart of gold. Growing up he was kur neighbor (for well over 34 years ) and always had an ear to lend and a hug when needed. You’ll never be forgotten and missed every day. You’ve been a part of my families lives for as long as I can remember. You taught my son (now 25yrs old) the art of growing beautiful plants, flowers, and a garden. RIP Richard, we will look out for your lovely wife always just like you always have for my family. Many prayers and strength for you Rachel.
Castillo family send their condolences to the Serano family I was proud to know the Serranos family God bless the family
I asked that the Lord [ Jesus Christ] provides my Tia with the physical and spiritual strength to continue on in life, due to the fact my Tia Rachel and Tio Richard dedicatedly, and faithfully lived their entire life together, and now he has been called to be with the Lord. I can vision my Tio Rchard and my dad playing trumpet together with the angels before the Lord. One thing i can say , Ive got to give my respects where respect is due, and that is my tio richard , my dad and tio shorty were ONE OF the greatest mariachis, what made them THE GREATEST is they were practically the first mariachi known mariachi bands in arizona besides mariachi jaliscience. Peace Nathaniel Deschamps Serrano
