Help the Crespo Children Say Goodbye to their Father; Ray

On the 17th of July, at 5pm in the evening, I received a call that has rocked and devastated the Crespo families! My children's father (Ramon aka "Ray" Crespo) was lying in the hospital and was on life support! After many hospital tests, evaluations, etc., it was determined by Ray's medical team that he no longer had any brain activity... This absolutely devasted his 6 heartbroken children and family!! However, Ray was an "organ donor" so preparations for the process began. On July 23 @ 9:30pm Ramon Luis Crespo was wheeled into the operating room to offer someone else the "Gift of Life" as his life was soo unnecessarily, prematurely, and tragically ended and called home early!! We now need to pick up all the broken pieces of my children's lives, as they play all the scenarios in their minds of the missing Daddy in their future moments and photos, as they reach significant milestones in their lives, pep talks, words of wisdom, etc...all hope has ceased!! The Crespo family asks for your compassion, generosity and assistance as we scrounge around to bury Ramon Luis Crespo (Grandfather/Father/ex-Husband). How does one, even begin to wrap their minds around this cold-heart truth?!...Here one day laughing, smiling & planning to attend his 1st Granddaughter's 1st Birthday party to laying up in a hospital brain dead!! or her!!! So, now I walk with my 6 children with big ole' gaping wholes in our hearts, that ONLY Jesus can heal!! Until that time My Beloved friend Ray...

"You are gone for now but, you will never be forgotten...until we see each other again in Heaven"!! Here is a poem that I pay tribute to you and our children...
