DURAN -- Dominic Matthew Duran was 14 years old when he left this earth to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, one year ago on July 4, 2009. His family would like to extend gratitude to all their family and friends for their love and support over this past year. "If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken; no time to say goodbye; you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, but now we know you want us to mourn for you no more. To remember all the happy times life still has much in store, since you'll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today a cherished place within our heart is where you'll always stay."
