For Olivia's Family: please accept my sympathy on the passing of your beloved mother. When she worked with us at Rauls, she was always smiling and happy. We nick named her "Crash" because she always broke a dish on her shift! It was evident she loved her family deeply. My deepest sympathy, Connie Hernandez and Rauls Restaurant Family
