Rios -- In Memory of Laurencia Rios May 28, 1931 - August 16, 2000If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bouquet for us, place them in the arms of Laura and tell her they're from us. Tell her we love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. No farewells were spoken, there was no time for good-byes. You were gone before we knew it, only the Lord knows why. Remembering her is easy, we do it everyday, there is ache within our hearts that will never go away. It's only been a year, but it seems like Just Yesterday.Perdoname Mom quien te quiere Laura, Pablo y toda tu Familia
