A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.

Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.

All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.

I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.

I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you from my home in the sky.

A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.

Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.

May God Give you all the strength..

The loss of a love one is so hard to face,
you just want to hide,
go some where and escape!
But death is something,
we all must go through,
I know it’s hard,
when it’s someone you love and know.

Just know now,
she is in a better place,
no more hurt or pain shall she face.
It seems unfair and yes this is true,
but she is in Heaven now
watching over me and you!

God has called her home to rest!!
And she’s being well taken care of
Because God knows best!

My most sincere and heartfelt condolensces to Felipe and all cousins. May God give you strength in this time of sorrow.

My deepest sympathy to our uncle, Felipe and to all my cousins, Avila family. Tia Fela was a great woman. She had so much love to share with everyone who touched her life. She will be greatly missed.

God Knows Your Pain
Come, My children, God knows your pain.
Your Mother is gone, but her soul remains.
You cannot see her, but her memories are there.
God gave them to you so don't despair.
Mother's time on earth was through.
She completed her task she was born to do.
She did it so well that God took her home
to walk the streets where the angels roam.
I know she was special and you will miss her so,
but when your time comes you'll get to go.
You'll see your Mother and Jesus, too, so live this life God gave to you.
Your heart will heal and one day you'll see
that death earth's door to eternity.

God bless you all.
We love you.
Ene n family.
