Mari,Jasmine and Valerie,
My sincerest condolences on your loss. I have good memories of Mr.Aguilar. We would laugh and talk everytime we saw each other. He was always happy when I saw him. He will be greatly missed.

The Native American Prayer

I give you this,one thought to keep,
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still, in each new dawn.

Many words to speak about a great man. His love will never stop.
I have known him just a few years, but a lifetime in my soul
and every time I saw him I never thought he'd go.

So many happy times, and so many songs he sung...you were there for my moms birthday.....

So much he will be missed from all his family and friends.

He loved everyone that's here, and some he never met,

A man of patience and kindness, I know we won't forget.

It's hard to say goodbye,
to you I wish I could have said goodbye, but I guess I was too late.

Maybe you are listening to what I have to say....

I'm sure he will be there every night watching over all of us...

Now that it is over,
he has flown to up above,
I know that he will be happy,
with the fulfillment of Gods love.

We let you go, in any way that we can, but please know that you will be missed, because you were a very special man'..

Love Irene & Angela Gonzalez

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Tu eres la tristeza de mis ojos
que lloran en silencio por tu amor
me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
el tiempo que he sufrido por tu adios

Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento
pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer
prefiero estar dormida que despierta
de tanto que me duele que no estes

Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos

Amor eterno e inolvidable
tarde o temprano estare contigo
para seguir amandonos

Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia
que desde ese dia hasta hoy no soy feliz
y aunque tengo tranquila mi conciencia
se que pude haber yo hecho mas por ti

Oscura soledad estoy viviendo
la misma soledad de tu sepulcro
tu eres el amor del cual yo tengo
el mas triste recuerdo de Acapulco

Como quisiera ahhh que tu vivieras
que tus ojitos jamas se hubieran
cerrado nunca y estar mirandolos
amor eterno e inolvidable
tarde o temprano estare contigo
para seguir amandonos

Amor eterno (amore eterno) eterno....
