The Broken Chain

We little knew that day,
that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken now,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.

We will love you forever,
Morena, Raul, Sergio and Matthew.

Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger Generation. For they are us,our bodies
are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

His love continues in his family. My deepest sympathies, Manny C.

Our favorite versus in the Bible are II Timothy 4:6-8, it is written by Paul before he was put to death, he talks about keeping the faith, fighting the good fight and finishing the race. These versus fit our beloved brother Jose to a tee. He has been in our hearts and prayers for a long time now and we were able to share the good news of Christ with him and we believe that someday we will see his smiling face once again. Jeremy Camp has a song called "There will be a day", there is a lyric in the song” There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain and no more fears”, we believe this with all my heart, no matter how much we suffer there will be a day when Jesus will wipe away all of our suffering as the song says as He did with Jose, we invite you to listen to the below song and when you do think of Jose.

My desk was next to Jose's at work when he found out about his cancer. We knew the only way out with stomach cancer was a miracle and the only way to be justified a miracle by GOD was to fight for it. At first I thought his miracle didn't happen, but realized he was granted the greatest miracle of all...He went to see Jesus. I'll miss you my friend, Love Dano.
