May you Rest In Peace Dear Tudy! My prayers will be with you and your family. Wondering how you were, I was thinking of you the night your soul was put to rest. Hadn't seen you in a bit! Thank you for being such a great friend! I don't think you shared your pain & feelings with anyone as you did with me! You took all my tears with you and I will keep all your tears forever in my heart!

I thought of you with Love today

I thought about you yesterday.

I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all I have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake.
With which we will Never part
God has you in his keeping.
I have you in my heart!.
As this it will stay, Until we meet again!!
Rest In Paradise,

Who took gomez to the hospital ? What was his involment in this ? Why did'nt detectives search gomez tahoe for weapons ? Why did gomez & rendon have someone hiding in the back of the truck ? Why was that person even there ? To be witness to the real agressors gomez & rendon... Mmmmm Smells fishy.
