Just thinking of you.... I can't believe it will almost be a year since God asked for you. I was sad but glad to be by your side the last 24 hours of your life, you have taken care of me and now it was my time to take care of you. I hope you forgive me for the medication I had to give you every two hours, I know you didn't like it but I had to so you wouldn't be in pain.......... I think about this every day and hope I did Best for you!!!
You couldn't speak so I had no clue if this was helping or not...I am having a very bad night tonight, just thinking I wished I had my mom back to talk and visit with. I love you so much mom...

Love your daughter,

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.

To all the Villalpando Family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. There are truely no words that can be said to comfort you or ease the pain you are going through at this time. Nothing can prepare us for the loss of our loved one, not even seeing them live in pain knowing that a cure is not to be. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and if there is anything you need we are here for you. God Bless you and may you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have.

Sincelely,
Anna Salazar-Villarruel
