Raven Blanco Obituary

Raven Maria Blanco "Ray Ray" December 9, 1998 - March 9, 2007 It has been "2" years now since we lost our daughter, Raven. It seems just like yesterday that I was talking and holding her hand, then other times it feels like she's been gone 4-EVER. There's not a single day that goes by that my family doesn't talk about, Raven. There is always something she said or did to make us laugh, it always brings a smile to our faces. My children really do miss their big sister, they often ask me: What is she doing in Heaven today? My husband is still having trouble dealing with her loss, he was the one who usually put Raven to bed everynight and played games with her until she fell asleep. It is very difficult living life with our daughter, It's been told to me that God wanted her more and it was her time, God must love my daughter a whole lot, because I can't imagine anyone loving her more than me. I find peace knowing she's in great hands working her magic with God. We are thankful for the time God allowed Raven in our lives, we only wished it could have been longer. Until we meet again, Daddy, Mommy, Sissy, Bubby xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
