Death is part of life.It's the end of life on earth.Some people die when they are young and others when they are old.We never know how long someone is going to live but we know when they leave we are going to miss them because we loved and cared for them.They were the reason we had a smile on our face. They were the ones to wipe our tears and make us laugh when we were down or having a bad day.I remember every brek or vacation we had we spent it at our Aunt Debbies house.We always looked forward to going to spend time with Dominique and Priscilla I remember Priscilla buying stuff to make cookies with us.I remember being in Dominiques room and Priscilla would come in and say dance contest or singing contest. Priscilla was a kind,sweet,loveable person with a very big heart.

Lord we remember the time Priscilla made us laugh and we thank you
Lord we remember the time Priscilla made us feel so special and we thank you
Lord we remember the time Priscilla helped us when we were hurting and we thank you
Lord we remeber the time Priscilla showed how much she loves us and we thank you
Lord we remember Priscilla and we thank you

Brought hope that it would stay,
But with a gentle breathless kiss,
Too soon it flew away

Priscilla & Grandpa Montoya

July 4, 2009

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so sorry...Words can not express how I feel... my deepest sympathy...Know that I love you and am here if you need me..I can only imagine how hard this is for you...Be comforted that she is were we all want to be...Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted by the love of Christ...I am just a phone call away...love you always XoXo

“Little Debbie” - Priscilla

It's really hard to say good-bye...I myself am not ready but I know that you are were we all strive to be..I pride myself on how much I love my family..and I know actions speak louder then words...and I wish I could turn back the hands of time...and I can't...so I want to say that I love you very much!!! I am going to miss your cute laugh...your love...and your smile...You have taught me something so important...How to be a good sister...People who really knew you know that you loved your brother, Ruben and sister, Dominique...How I will strive to have relationships with my brothers and sisters just like you: a never ending love, unconditional acceptance of each other, and forgiveness... You have received the grace of our Lord, that disposes man to enter into the divine joy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." It is true, because of the greatness and inexpressible glory of God, that "man shall not see me and live," for the Father cannot be grasped. But because of God's love and goodness toward us, and because he can do all things, he goes so far as to grant those who love him the privilege of seeing him. . . . For "what is impossible for men is possible for God."
You my “Little Debbie” now have been granted the privilege of seeing what is impossible.
I am going to miss you very much...I love you and someday I will see you again...Till our spirits meet in Heaven...
XoXoXo
Love Your Nana
