Heladio "Xim" Francisquez

Heladio Pedro Francisquez, also known to many as “Xim,” 61, departed August 8, 2024, in Fontana, California.

Come To Me:

God saw you were getting tired,

and a cure was not to be,

so, he put his arms around you

and whispered, “Come to me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you,

and saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

Almighty God, we rejoice in your promise of love, joy and peace. In your mercy turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life, and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven; through our Savior Jesus Christ, who died, rose again and lives for evermore.
