Our dear friend Ralph Mercado Sr. Had fellow Christian Ismael Miranda (also the salsa signer from Fania Records) visit him at home. Ismael Miranda along with a fellow Pastor prayed for Ralph Sr. after the prayer was over he declared Ralph Sr.

Cristian has gained so much weight because of the Steroids… He doesn’t want to play with his trains. He just eats and watches some TV and wants to stay in the room with the Curtains drawn.
