Chavez -- ANGELGO CHAVEZ April 14, 1979 - July 22, 1997My beautiful boy! I can remember us on summer nights sitting outside looking at the stars. It was our time together, and I'll cherish it always. I still look at the stars each night, but now I look up and pray that you are up there watching me. A year has past since you left this world and started your new life in heaven. I know you're safe and happy in God's hands, but even knowing that can't erase my memories of when you were in my arms. We all miss you my Angelo -- your dad, grandma and grandaddy, your uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. Your sister and brother really miss you in their lives. As for me, I cope each day, one day at a time. It's easy for me to find a memory of you to comfort me. The reminders are everywhere -- in the face of a teenage boy, in all the sports you loved so much and in all the things in your room. This summer, I'll see the stars and think of you. I love you and miss you so much, my beautiful boy.Love, Mom
