"THE LOVE LOST OF A YOUNG COUSIN"
Posted for: ERNEST ABEYTA:
To a very young, young man who lead his high school band
has a drum major.
who grew up in East Los Angeles never thinking of his self but
a America, and was proud to be a Marines like his cousin my
brother Raul..Nothing was sadder than to lose a good soul at
a young age. Tho you have left us you live in our lives and
like all good things will always be with us forever and ever.
Its has been a long time coming Ernie but I just want to
express my love to you and the great lose of a cousin....

Love
Irene
