Juan,
I have yet to accept that you are no longer here. My heart is broken into pieces. However, I am thankful for the times that we shared. There has never been, nor will there ever be, another like you! Your beautiful eyes and that 1000-watt smile lit up any room that was graced with your presence. The only thing brighter was your endearing, kind and loving spirit. Juan, you know what you meant to me,and I was always fully aware of what I meant to you. And though we shared so much, there was still so much left to be said that we were not granted; I'm struggling to find peace with that, but it's not easy. Just know that I loved you then, I love you now, and I will forever more. I'm thankful that you now know peace; the kind that surpasses all understanding. I take comfort in the knowledge that you are now free; free from the things that bound you on earth. And I smile at the thought of all the angels of heaven who will now bask in the glow of your charm, kindess, love ...and that beautiful smile!
Rest peacefully in God's loving arms...
With love, ~ Lisa

I met Juan through my co-worker and instantly I liked him. I was hoping that the future would allow us to become better friends, but God needed you more. May God be with your family during their time of grief. You will be missed!
