Obituary for GONZALES


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday March 26, 2004

Edwina F. Gonzales July 12, 1933 - March 26, 2000 Mom, Four years have past since your death. I cherish the talks we shared during your fifteen months with cancer. Your strength and your faith will always amaze me. I no longer stand at your grave because of your words of wisdom. "If you go to my grave you will visit my body, but my soul will be with Jesus. So if you want to feel my spirit visit with my Lord." The way you faced death without fear is a testament to your faith, and mom what faith you had. You never complained about pain or your suffering and how you suffered. You always said the only thing that saddens you was that you would not be with your children. That is not totally true because you are always in my mind and forever in my heart. You taught me that we would be together someday so until than, may God keep you in his grace and may he watch over me. Loving you today, tomorrow and always - Joe and family
