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.

Our deepest condolences to Connie and family. Rene was a giant teddy bear with a smile on his face.His passion for classic cars and trucks but more than ever his passion for teaching. He loved to sing to music on the radio. I know because I've heard him when I was at my Uncle Ben & Aunt Norma's house visiting. Rene never got a chance to see the last game of the Cowboys play however is in the golden gates of heaven with my Mom and Dad looking down and keeping an eye on all us. Our prayers are with you all.

Mr. Hernandez was a great man…I was fortunate enough to have spent some good times with him and his family…whether it was in front of a grill cooking carne asada, watching the Cowboys games, or with him, Mrs. Hernandez, and Jenna on the beach in Mexico having a cold one it was always a good time and great stories…Thank you so much for that…A true Veterano of Ysleta TX!
