Santos Ruiz & Sergio Tapia Funeral

Donation protected
Hello my name is Marissa Ruiz. I am trying to raise funds for Santos Ruiz and Sergio Tapia's funeral expenses.
The Ruiz and Cortez family have suffered two tragic losses in the matter of a few days. We lost Santos Ruiz (my father in law) beloved Son, Brother, Father, Uncle and Grandfather on November 18, 2015 fast due to very progressive health issues. While we were processing this tragic loss, the family endured another extremely tragic accident and the loss of Sergio Tapia (my cousin) on November 20, 2015. This horrific accident http://patch.com/california/belmontshore/long-beach-cyclist-killed-vincent-thomas-bridge was another terrible blow to the family.
These two men were taken too soon from this earth, they both were two of the most giving and helpful men that I had the privilege of knowing! My heart is heavy in asking for any donations for our family to lay these two beautiful souls to rest with a proper funeral and burial. No donation is too small and any assistance is very much appreciated during this unimaginable time. I am also asking for prayers, positive vibes and thoughts for our family at this time.
Thank you and God Bless,
Marissa and Santos Ruiz Jr
