Lord look around you flower garden in Heaven,
And please pick the best for us,
Place them in our father's arms
And tell him they're from us,
Tell him that we love and miss him
And Lord, when he turns and smiles,
Place a kiss upon his cheek
And hug him for a while,
Because remembering him will be easy
We'll do it everyday
But there will always be an ache within our hearts
That will never go away.
We love you Dad,

Dear Amaro Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time.
Although I did not have the honor and pleasure of knowing him, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.
His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.
