Baca -- Teresa E. Baca Died December 27, 2001 Happy Mother's Day Mom! We Love and Miss You!Sometimes we knew the words to say, We should of given thanks for all you've done, But then they fly up and away, As quickly as they come, How could we possibly owe you enough The one who made us whole, The one whom we owe our life, The forming of our souls. The one who tucked us in at night, The one who stopped us from crying, The one who was the expert, At picking up when we were lying The one who saw us off to school, And spent sad days alone, Yet magically produced a smile, As soon as we came home. The one who made such sacrifices, To always put us first, Who let us test our broken wings, In spite of how it hurt. Who painted the world a rainbow When it was filled with broken dreams, Who explained it all so clearly, When nothing's what it seems Are there really any words for this? I find this question tough.... Your best was passed on to us. Thank you Mom for all the gifts you gave, For everything you did, But Thank You, Mommy, most of all, For being such a wonderful mom! Love, Ronnie Boy, Suzette & Erica

Ortiz -- Dennis Lee IN LOVING MEMORY January 31, 1963 - May 12, 1990 THE CHAIN We little knew that night that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our Family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, The Chain will link again. Love Mom and Family
