Dios save lo que ame
A mi esposo y a mis hijos
Lo que me sacrifique
Y permanecer unidos

El destino no siempre es
Como nosotros lo quisimos
Y la vida da unas vueltas
Que me cuesta comprenderlas

Nunca perdere la fe
Me consuela el saver
Que algun dia estaremos
Todos juntos otra vez

Mientras llega ese dia
Y me extranas quieres verme
Cierra tus ojos habre el corazon
Recibe mi bendicion

Ayudenme a cuidar mis hijos
Sobre todo al mas chiquito
Dios a mi me necesita
Y me esta hablando ahorita

No dejen de recordarme
Esos momentos agradables
Cuando reimos asta ver el sol
Y la luna nos acompano

No me despido solo les digo
Que estoy bien y en paz
Pues el amor de Dios es grande
Que me sobra para darles

"I love you"

Yo te extrañare
tenlo x seguro
fueron tanto bellos y malos momentos
que vivimos juntos.
los detalles las pequeñas cosas
lo que parecia no importante
son las que mas invanden mi mente
al recordarte.

Ojala pudiera devolver el tiempo
para verte de nuevo
para darte un abrazo
y nunca soltarte
mas comprendo que llego tu tiempo
qe Dios te ha llamado
para estar a su lado
asi el lo quiso
pero yo nunca pense
que doliera tanto

Ya no llores por mi
yo estoy en un lugar( lleno de luz)
donde existe paz
donde no hay maldad
donde puedo descansar.

No llores por mi
estan bello aqui( nunca imagine)
quiero que seas feliz
que te valla bien
y cuando
te toque partir
espero verte aqui

Yo te extrañare
tenlo por seguro
como pensar qe la vida
puede terminar
en un segundo

la vida es polvo
puede esparcirse
en un momento
nada trajiste
nada te llevas
solo lo que habia dentro

ojala pudiera devolver el tiempo
para verte de nuevo
para darte un abrazo
y nunca soltarte
mas comprendo qe llego tu tiempo
qe Dios te ha llamado
para estar a su lado
asi el lo quiso
pero yo nunca pense
que doliera tanto

Ya no llores por mi
yo estoy en un lugar( lleno de luz)
donde existe paz
donde no hay maldad
donde puedo descansar.

No llores por mi
estan bello aqui( nunca imagine)
quiero que seas feliz
que te valla bien
y cuando
te toque partir
espero verte aqui

Yo te extrañare
tenlo x seguro

To The. Castaneda / Medina Families, I send MY DEEPEST condolences. These past ten days have been such a blur, a roller coaster of emotions. I worked with Patti at SWA & must say that you raised such a beautiful young lady. Very respectful, helpful. Patti never spoke ill of anyone. We will miss her sweet voice & smile. I've kept & will continue to keep Patti's picture on MY desk everyday as a constant reminder of how short & precious life truly is. I will keep Patti's picture on MY desk to help me be more patient with MY children & grand children daily. I will always keep Patti, her children, your Family & Medina Family in MY thoughts & prayers. I have used OUR tragic loss of this amazing young lady as an example to MY children that we all need to slow down & enjoy EVERY precious minute that we have with eachother & friends. Thank You all for sharing Patti with us at SWA. Patti will be greatly missed by many. May GOD Bless you all today & always.

God looked around his garden,
And he found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this
Earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
get well on earth again.
So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be Thine."
He then took you up to Heaven with hands gentle and so kind.
It broke our hearts to loose you,
but you did not go alone.
For parts of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
