Mr. Roberto Pargas - 103God needed a special Angel, One loving, good and kind. And so He chose our Father, And left us all behind. The tears we shed were many, Our hearts were filled with pain, But our loss upon this earth, Was surely Heaven's gain. And though his heart no longer beats, His memory lives within. Time can never erase the love, For our Father and Best Friend.Mr. Pargas was born May 10, 1895 in Luis Lopez, NM to Jose and Teofilia Pargas.
