APODACA -- ANTHONY M. In Loving Memory of Anthony M. Apodaca My Precious Son April 3, 1972 - September 11, 2005 Today has been two years that you have been gone from me my hijo and everyday is like the day I lost you. I miss you so-so much. I think of you every second of the day. Everyone tells me don't cry so much let him rest. But I would give anything for one more minute with you. Sometimes when everything is so quiet I can hear your voice saying I love you mom. Every night I close my eyes and I hold you tight. But I do know that some day we will be together again in our home in heaven with our lord Jesus Christ. And with everyone that is there with you. Just know that when you left you took a part of me with you. And someday I will hold you again my son: and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Hey Ants remember the tin man in The Wizard of Oz: That's how I wish I was now no heart to feel no pain no sorrow but my love is with you and I know you are my special angel in heaven. I love you with all of my heart love forever and always Mom, Rudy, Renee, Matt and all the kids. See you in heaven.

ARGAUD -- - Marie Argaud December 8, 1942 - September 11, 2005 Beloved Mother and Grandmother. Forever in our hearts. God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, that he only takes the best! It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same, since you went away. When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, 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!" We love you more than mere words can say!! Darrell, Dianna, Corey, Christopher, Jacob, Ramie, and Ziggy.
