The words of his loving family:"A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. 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 have gone away. When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear your 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 keeping, we'll meet again someday."Rosary will be recited Wednesday, 7:00 p.m., at French Mortuary, 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE, with Father Paul Baca reciting.
