Anita y toda la familia

Deseo expresar mi mas sentido pesame en la partida de un ser tan querido como es la madre, esposa, abuela, tia, amiga, hermana en Cristo. En lo poco que comparti con ella solo puedo decir que verdaderamente fue una mujer de Dios que dejo un gran ejemplo para seguir. Se que dejo muy buenos y bonitos recuerdos que siempre estaran presentes en sus corazones. Que la paz de Dios continue llenando sus vidas.

Anita-
Remember, you are never given more than you can handle and, while it may feel you are being put to the test, you will get through this and be much stronger for it. I know you have wonderful memories of your mother which I hope, in time, will replace the loss you feel right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Meet You At The Gate(ANA JULIA CRUZ)

A beautiful garden now stands alone,
missing the one who nurtured it
But now she is gone,
Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops ,for the ones left behind,
The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay,
she loved every flower even some that were weeds,
So much love she would plant with each little seed,
But just like her flowers she was part of Gods plan,
So when it was her time he reached down his hand,
He look through the Garden searching for the best,
That's when he found Julia, it was her time to rest,
It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go,
But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing Julia remember if you just wait
When God has a spot in his garden She'll meet you at the gate....

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.

Love you always abuela :'(
