Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday April 27, 1999

Esquipule Sandoval. Sunrise September 2, 1914 and Sunset April 27, 1998. It has been one year since he left me. I miss you and will always love your forever. Your Wife, Cathy SAFELY HOMEI am safe at home dear ones: Oh so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting Light.All the pain and grief is over Every restless tossing passed: I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last.Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade. Oh! But Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful gladeAnd he came himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread?Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still: Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will.There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now while life remaineth- You shall rest in Jesus' land.When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!
