SEDILLO -- John Anthony Sedillo First Anniversary My Juan Since you left to Heaven one year ago, no day has passed without the thought of you. It seems like yesterday that you left. I can still remember vividly how I felt that day and I am reminded of what life was like just one year ago when you were in my world. The sad memories of that day and thereafter are still very much with me. However, I also carry the happy memories of when you were here. Although some time has passed, the grief is still with me and sometimes I am overwhelmed with sadness because I miss you and wish you had not left. It still seems so unreal; but I believe you are still with me even more than you were in life. I trust I will see you again and I look forward to that very much. Please guide me and watch over all your family. Be happy where you are. Until we meet again. With all my love, Your wife, Helen; your daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. Love you.
