Barela -- In Loving Memory of APRIL A. BARELA April 1, 1973 to August 9, 1989April's PsalmFor God giveth and God taketh, He gave you to me and He taketh you from me. Why is it so hurting when God taketh, especially so young at 25. Yes, there is a reason, but the hurt will already be there. When God took you He also took a big part of my heart too. I have a big empty space in me now without you. My hita, my April, so young, so beautiful, you had such a big heart and you were so giving, and so forgiving. I'm sure your hitos will be like that too. I remember your smile, your voice, your laughter, when you walked in the door Con que"Mamasita?" Now you're my Mamasita up there in Heaven. I know you're my guide, my angel, right along with your sister. I'll always remember your calling out to me and I remember when your answer was"Mom I've already talked with God, I asked for forgiveness. I'm going with Him." Well, babe, I'll see you when I go, for now you're in my heart. Love your Mamasita, Mary Pino and Frances and Chiquito From Martha, Mark and Paul
