I will miss you when I come home and not find you here, I will miss you when I need to talk to you and you won't be home to answer the phone. I will miss you when I am riding in my car and you are not there to tell me to turn up the volume on the radio when I am listening to Spanish music but, I will especially miss you when I go to sleep at night and you are not there to say good night to me. The only thing that gives me consolation is that you had told me you were ready to go home to be with our Lord, my Dad and Grandma. I will always love you and feel your presence even when I am alone. Your loving daughter, Grace Elaine.Arrangements by: Salazar & Sons Mortuary 400 Third St. SW 247-4124 www.salazarandsons.com
