LUCERO -- LYNNAE Shining Down from Heaven January 7, 1980 - November 3, 1995 Look into her eyes - although it is not possible. Her eyes - The windows of the soul - Closed. Look at this child's face - feel her hurt and Sorrow The pain and fear before her Soul was forced to go. A child so innocent taken without consent, A father hoping at least a hug before his daughter went. One moment unknowing of any harms, Not knowing if again her daddy would hold her in his arms. A father awaiting his daughter to come home, he keeps waiting but in sadness all alone. Her biggest concern - choosing what to wear, unknowing a bullet would strike that her body could not bare, Caught in the middle of a dispute between two, created a world of sorrow which no one could undo. Now in darkness and coldness she lies, and here we stand with dark and saddened eyes. Coldness lives within those we live around, what we live around we can only hope not to become. For a lifetime a father can only mourn, and remember the joy of when his daughter was born. He'll await her sweet voice to say, "Daddy I'm home, Daddy forgive as the Lord has and together we'll soon be: I live in your heart and god is with you, you are not alone. Because of a few - because of fate that is why we die, That is why we are left with sorrow - and in coldness the unknowing lie. -Adriana Nanis Delgado-

MORA -- Donald Mora November 11, 1953 - October 28, 2004 God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be. He wrapped his arms around you and whispered "come with me".

SPURLOCK -- Cherrone Monique April 10, 1985 - October 28, 2005 It's been a year since you left us alone, when, thru the accident, HE called you home. We're still grieving and remembering you, your beautiful smile and your sweetness, too. We know you're at peace and watching over us from above to keep us safe, and surround us with love. We think about you daily and wish you were back, to laugh, to smile, and to hug your neck. So, stay sweet and watch over us until when we've completed our earthly journey and meet up with you again. We love and miss you soooo much Grandma Rose and Grandpee John
