Carter -- ANNA FRANCES DAVALOS CARTER 1930-1998Mom, A year ago God called you home and broke my heart. No matter how much I loved you I could not cure you. I miss you everyday of my life, but I also thank God for ending your suffering. I treasure the memories of us together watching TV, eating dinner or enjoying a LOBO game. I miss our conversations. Mom, thanks for all you taught me. You always set a good example and tried to do what was right, and so will I. Nothing can ease the pain of losing you, but I find comfort in the Lord, and know that you walked through the valley of death and did not stop there. I know you're in heaven, I saw the sun shine brightly and the skies open up for you the morning you died! I miss you terribly, but I am strong, I get that from you. Until we meet again may God hold you and open the heavens to you. Keep Grandma company and enjoy your two story cloud. Do not hold back, fly all around like we talked about. I put this in the paper cause I know you always read the obits. We think funny, huh Mom? I Love You, Cyndi Goodwin

It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well...

Romero -- VANGIE GILLIAM ROMERO November 17, 1946-March 29, 1998 One year has come and gone. We could not understand why, but with God by our side and our faith, we now know how happy you are in heaven. As we saw you slowly fading away we along with you felt alone and scared, we have never been through this. But as each one of us sees you in our dreams, we know you are right by God's side, because you are so encouraging when you tell us how happy you are. We wake up right away hoping it's not a dream, only to find ourselves trying so hard to continue the same dream, so we can see you again. We now realize everyone is borrowed from God, now every time we pray we thank God he shared you with us. This is the hardest thing our family has been through, but knowing God and you are behind us only makes us closer as we laugh and cry sharing all our memories. We know you'd want us to pick up the pieces and move on so with you in our daily thoughts and prayers we look ahead to the day... TILL WE MEET AGAIN... Love Always, Your Family
