Baca -- Alexius Thalia Baca October 9, 2000 - November 8, 2000 This is not at all how we thought it was supposed to be. We had so many plans for you. We had so many dreams. And now you've gone away and left us with the memories of your smile. And nothing we can say, and nothing we can do, can take away the pain, the pain of loosing you. Never have I known anything so hard to understand. Never have I questioned more the wisdom of God's plan. But through the cloud of tears, I see the Father's smile and say well done. and I imagine you, where you wanted most to be, seeing all your dreams come true. 'Cause now you're home and now you're free. We can cry with hope. We can say good-bye with hope. 'Cause we know our good-bye is not the end, and we can grieve with hope. 'Cause we believe with hope there's a place, by God's grace, there's a place where we will see your face again. We have this hope as an anchor. 'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true. We wait with hope. We ache with hope. We hold on with hope. We let go with hope. You will Always be in our hearts my precious Little Angel we love you! Gran-Ma, Grandpa, Auntie/Godmother Victoria.
