In Loving Memory of JOSE LOUIS JARAMILLOYou left us one year ago to go live with God, but you will live forever in our hearts.God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered,"Come with Me."

Life doesn't seem the same since you went away. When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper,"Cheer up and carry on." Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say,"Don't cry, I'm in God's hands, we'll meet again someday!"From your loving children, Allen, Carmen Lou, Jimmy and Martha
