Michael: Remember when we went to Italy with your grandmother Antonieta, and Pepina, and your other relatives. You were the little boy then. Now you are the parent. How time flew by.
-----When I read the announcement of this tragedy, I cried for your baby. You and your wife have suffered, what it is not supposed to be, for our children are the ones that are supposed to bury and mourn their parents. But God called your little boy to haven, and you will just have to wait a little while, before you see him again.
God bless you and your family, and may your mother and your wife and all your family find peace and strenght to endure this terrible pain.
With love,
Ulises & Gladys Batalla

Tiny Angels
Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".

If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again, No farewells were spoken, No time to say Good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why,
My heart still aches in sadness, and my secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!
