HULTS -- JAMES W. It's been five years now and our lives go on without you but nothing is the same. We took our vows together, said til death do us we part. But when he came and took your hand my whole world fell apart. No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide or how many times I've broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives, one of the things that makes me glad is that you chose me to share with you and the precious children we had. Love, Yvonne, Randy, Gina, Sharon, Brianna, Mathew, Andrew, Nikki-J, Alexis, & Joshua

ORTIZ -- Richard (Ricky) Ortiz Sr. March 26, 1953- December 31, 2006 God knew you were suffering, That the hills were hard to climb, So he gently closed your eyelids, And whispered "Peace be thine". In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away. Our hearts were nearly broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, Free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to see you go, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, that day God called you home. Happy birthday Dad love always, your Wife, children, and grandchildren
