ARANDA -- Andrew R. Aranda July 16, 1947 - August 18, 1998 Dad... so many images come to mind whenever we speak your name; It seems without you in our lives things would have never been the same. Dad, some days we hear your voice and turn to see your face; Yet in our turning... it seems the sound has been erased. Oh, Dad, if we could turn back time and once more hear your voice; We'd tell you that out of all the dads you would still be our choice. Today, Jesus, as you are listening in your home above; Would you go and find our dad and give him all our love. We miss you dearly, Love your girls ox's
