BARROS -- Faustino In loving memory of Mr Faustino Barros Daddy, It's been 12 years but seems like yesterday since God saw fit to take you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and/or think I see your mannerisms, your eyes, your smile, your walk in people that I pass. I visit your resting place often but still wish I could see you just one more time. I know you and Teddy are looking down and probably laughing. Daddy, I look forward to seeing the two of you when God see's fit to take me. Until then, you and Teddy will never be too far from my thoughts and prayers. I love you Daddy. Say hey to Ted for me.. Theresa
