To the Gallegos family - i.e. Rafaelita, Antonio, Christina, and Delfido (our godson) I extend my sympathy for your loss! I hope you take solace in the knowledge that he is no longer suffering. It may also help to contemplate/imagine that he's at the great fishing hole in the sky where he's reeling in all the big ones that got away. May you all find peace in the midst of your grief and may that peace vanquish all of your sorrow.
Lee

Lu published a tribute .

Rudy,Thank you for being a helper. I still remember when my sister, my mom and I were stranded in Bernallio in my sister's Volkswagon and you drove from Espanola to Bernallio and you got us on a way back to Espanola. You assisted your sister, Naedin when she was ill. Numerous times you did my dad's haircuts and sometimes my mom's hair too. (No Pay)
Above, are things that I pointed out of you as a helper but there are many more. You also, loved drumming, hunting and fishing but most of all you were proud of your Familia.
You were at times controversial but that is what made you, you.
Rafaelita, (La Ralph) my sister, I am sure is missing you and loves you very much as well as your kids, Antonito, Christina, Delfido and grandchildren Tony and Christopher. God Bless them all.
Tell my Dad hello...
Sister in law, Luella
