| On April 20th, 2007 my cousin Fernando Leon Bayesteros was found murdered in his apartment. There are not words to describe what a beautiful person he was, or the love that all who knew Leon felt for him, and there certainly are not words accurate enough to describe the grief his family feels upon his loss. My beautiful cousin leaves behind not only the many many friends and family that loved him so very much, but also a son who will never know the light he brought into this world and everyone's life that he touched. Leon was originally from Matzatlan, Mexico, and moved to Boise, ID legally 5 years ago to work. His mother and sisters, as well as his child, still live in Matzatlan. My aunt and uncle will be raising Leon's son upon their return to Mexico. 100% of the proceeds from any item purchased on this page will go directly to helping my aunt and uncle with the enormous amount of debt they incurred flying his body home for burriel, as well as helping them with the added financial responsibility of raising another child. If you would like to make a flat donation to the family you may do so; in return you will receive a Raven's Song Maille gift certificate equal to the amount of the donation. If you would like more information about Leon and his murder, please visit the following local news links: Boise Channel 2 News, Boise Channel 6 News, Boise Channel 7 News, and The Idaho Statesman. |
Full Persian bracelet

Comes in standard 7 1/2" length for the gals and 8 1/2" length for the guys, but more length can be added for a better custom fit. Please include your length requirements at your time of purchase. |
