To the Beltran family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his LOVE, STRENGTH, and PEACE in this time of sorrow. She is with JESUS now and with family members that went before her. She is with all the ANGELS that GOD has in HEAVEN. She is moving into her new home that GOD has promised to his children, she is seeing the gold streets and all that we can't even imagine. May you find comfort that she has a new body that will never feel pain again, and she will be your special ANGEL as well. May she R.I.P <3

On behalf of my father, William (Billy) Baca, and our family, I would like to express condolences to the family. Lily was loved and will be missed. But most of all, she will be remembered with love and a smile. She was a very colorful woman, as our family often put it "full of life". She must be dancing in heaven and making everyone there laugh. Until we see you on the other side, be with God. The William Baca family, Flagstaff, Az

Hopi Prayer
Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousands winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of the quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

To my family,
This prayer helped me through my grief when I lost my father.I will always treasure her stories about her life and my Grandfather Erminio. She always bless me when ever we said goodbye, She will forever be in my heart. Love you all.
