QUINTANA -- Patricia A. In Loving Memory of our Beloved on her 19th Anniversary Patricia A. Quintana January 21, 1963 - March 28, 1990 When Tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you do each day, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you; And each time that you think of me, Please know I'll miss you too. But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand. And said a place was ready, in Heaven up above; And then I'd have to leave behind, all those I truly love. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do. It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think We're far apart; For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. Loving you and Missing you for all Eternity, Mr. and Mrs. Elise Quintana Family
