Life doesn't seem the same, since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely, we seem to hear you whisper...cheer up and carry on. Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say, Don't cry, I'm in God's Hands, we'll meet again someday!" Siempre con carino amor y en union de la Santa Oracion.
