"God hath not promised skies always blue,


Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;


God hath not promised sun without rain,


Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.0


But God hath promised strength for the day,


Rest for the labor, light for the way,


Grace for the trials, help from above,


Unfailing sympathy undying love"

I wish to express my sincere condolences to the Zavala family. I feel very privilege to have known and worked with Raul. He was truly a great man. Raul will really be missed by all those people that were lucky to know him but he will never be forgotten. I know it feels like a void has been left in our lives but please remember that now is the time to fill that void with the love of family and friends. May God Bless All of You.
