Cuellar -- Sean Lyn Cuellar 12-15-1984 to 10-2-1997 Saying Good-bye, last time to live. My cousin turned 13. He decided to let the Lord take him and get away from this awful place. So very little years living and hard working. A lifetime of love in the kitchen. He forgot to say goodbye and now everyone is asking why. Why did he have to go, how could you leave so soon without saying goodbye. I will cherish your love and your memories, I think about you all the time and never let you leave my mind. I wonder every day what you're doing up in heaven and I think you're still by my side. I wonder sometimes what you could be thinking and what you're saying. Every time we smell the rain we always think you're in the kitchen cooking hard like you used to when you were alive. I wonder if you're happy up in heaven and glad that you're there. EVERYBODY WISHES YOU WERE HERE. Written by Melissa Sandoval We love you always and miss you. Your Cousins, Uncles, Leo Sandoval, Anthony, Andrew and Lawrence Cuellar, Auntie Jeannett Sandoval, Grandma Josie Dominguez, Grandpa Tony Cuellar.
