Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Contreras, Rachel and Martha I am very sorry for your loss. R.I.P Mr. Contreras. The pride you always took with your yard and seeing you working on your yard was very inspiring. I would always tell my kids on how you could put me to shame with all your energy. God bless you, you'll be dearly missed.

My sincere sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2. Again my deepest sympathy.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. 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 stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
- Mary Elizabeth Frye

Mrs. Contreras, Martha, Rachel, Rosie and family, my prayers and heart are with you at this difficult time. He is now resting with his baby, Rosie.... I hadn't seen your parents in many years, and sad, it had to be at such a sad time. May God Bless all the family.
