WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Dear Family,
Your loved one provided our family with much wholesome entertainment which is hard to find in this day and time. May you find a measure of comfort in the words of Psalm 34:18.

So sad to learn of the passing of Ricardo.

He was always the gentleman in his private life, living with his only wife, minus any reports of negativity.

He never seemed to age, other than his hair turning gray, but a legend without even trying.

May he now join the love of his life in Heaven above.

Rest in peace.

Ricardo was a great actor. I am sure he was a great person in his private life. He was great in Star Trek.

I have lived with physical pain since my 16th birthday, for over 32 years. I remember reading where Ricardo had severe back pain and called pain his "friend". I applied his own concept to my conditon.

This life here on earth is so short. We move on and one day our pains will end. I have faith that Ricardo is now free of pain and moved on to a much better place than here on earth.

To the family of Ricardo Montalban,
What a wonderful, gracious man. I'm honored to have viewed many of his movies of the 30's, 40's and 50's way before his tour of Fantasy Island. We should thank people before this, but I needed the family to know how many years of enjoyment this wonderful man has given. May he find peace, happiness and contentment with our Lord. And may you all have wonderful memories of this great man. Deep sympathy.

Richardo will definitely be missed in the acting world. We grew up watching him on "Fantasy Island". There hasn't been a show on TV since that could compare.Thank you for all the great years of TV and hopefully he was greeted "Welcome to Fantasy Island". Our deepest sympathy to his family.

Mr. Montalban, you are a class act and the last of an extinct species of courtly gentlemen. Your portrayal as Mr. Roarke and the grandfather in Spy Kids 3-D will always stay dear in my heart. I will especially remember you fondly as Khan in Star Trek II. The world will be all the sadder without you, but will be forever lifted with your talents and kind spirit.

Todd Ponton

February 6, 2009

You will always remembered as Mr. Roarke and Khan. You were more than a STAR TREK actor, and you were more than Mr. Roarke. You were a true icon to me, all TREKKIES, and all FANTASY ISLAND fans. You have provided us all with great entertainment! Khan will always be my favorite bad guy, and Mr. Roarke and the grandpa from SPY KIDS 2 and 3 will always be favorite good guy roles. And, I know that you're looking down at us from above. I want to say I LOVE YOU, I'LL MISS YOU, GOD BLESS, and REST IN PEACE.

I so appreciated the open letter he sent to his children(I think son). I read it in Dear Abby(or similiar column). It guided my thinking as I raised my children. The gist of it was "I am not your friend, I am your Father" He had a lot of wisdom in that letter for parents of any generation.

I grew up watching Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island, it was such a great show. I can still see him in his white suit. Although this is a sad time, blessings will soon be realized under God's Kingdom rule with Christ as King. He will soon bring those in God's memory back to life-John 5:28-29. May God's peace be with the family.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Resurrection Promise

Do not cry as you loved ones pass,
God has promised it will not last,
The time is coming with all things new,
And your loved ones brought back to you,
Revelation 21: verses three and four,
States that death will be no more,
Remember Jesus said his friend was asleep,
We will be called back to be his sheep.
Yes it hurts to lose someone,
But soon every bad thing will be undone,
Trust in in Jehovah will your heart,
He's been with us from the start,
So as we go on in this old life,
Remember he will rid us of this pain and strife,Take his hand and see his power,
When he brings his judgment hour,
Those in the memmorial tombs will come out,We will be happy and able to shout,
Look what God has went and done,he's brought back mothers,fathers,daughters and sons.

To the Montalban family. My prayers and condolences go out to you. I've enjoyed whatever I've seen Ricardo Montalban perform in, whether it was a young, reluctant bull fighter who'd rather write music on the late late show, the powerful Kahn in both the original Star Trek series and the movie, the handsome and mysterious Mr. Roark, or the grandfather on the Spy Kids movies, all performances were exceptional. Who doesn't remember that voice "Welcome to Fantasy Island"? I never missed a show.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Montalban. He was a great actor and I am sure he was a great man. He was a great role model for Mexican Americans.

I enjoyed watching "Fantasy Island" when I was a child in the '70's and a young teen in the early '80's.

I regret that I never sent Mr. Montalban a letter or asked for his autograph. I had wanted to. I know, time is precious. I regret that I waited. I believe I will meet him in Heaven though.

Mr. Montalban was almost the same age as my father, who is another great man of Mexican descent.

RIP Mr. Montalban, and may God comfort your family, friends, fans, and all loved ones.

Our dearest Montalban Familia,
It is with great sadness to learn of Ricardo's passing on. For over 60 years he has been entertaining our family with movie/tv episodes of his wonderful gift as an actor. Both on and off stage, he was truly a gentleman's gentleman. My family and I will always hold a dear and special place in our hearts for his uniqueness as a family man and actor; his sensitivity to others' needs.

Extending our deepest and sincerest sympathy to you and your families; via con Dios Senor Montalban.

Cristobal y Maria Ramos

January 18, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
