APODACA -- Pauline Romero August 18, 1923 - August 5, 1994 Mothers never die, they just keep house in the sky. As we grew up, she teaches us truth & lays life's foundation in the day's of our youth. And then it is time to leave home. But her teaching goes with us wherever we roam. MOTHERS are special and wonderfully wise...as she grows older, we look back with LOVE. Knowing MOTHERS are gifts from above. When she goes home to receive her reward, she will dwell in GOD'S kingdom & keep house for the LORD. Where she'll "light up" the stars that shine thru the night and keep all the moon beams sparkling & bringt. And then with the dawn she'll put the darkness away as she scours the sun to new brillance each day. So, dry tears of sorrow for MOTHERS DO NOT DIE they just move in with GOD...From your loving family--Connie, Adeline, Anna Mae, Cael and Marleen--you have Johnny & Daddio. We miss all of you very much!
