In mourning of my Tia Cuca I remember my dad Jose Pedro Ramirez Lara in which was your cousin going to visit you and my great Tio Cuco. We would spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon visiting. My sister Sally would also Come along and visit and play with Peter. Those are wonderful memories and through the years we kept in touch and thank for being a great part of my family roots that is something to be very proud of. We now have another angel in heaven. God Bless...

I've Loss Off A Cousin
Cousin/Prima Cuca Lara, She is on my moms side of Family!Daughter of My Uncles/Tio Cuco & Aunt/Tia Lolas daugther.My Tio Cuco is my Mom's Brother. Blessed thier Hearts in Heavan!
My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that she'll always be with me
I'm glad she feels no pain now-she lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of her loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don't feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss her forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see her again someday
A death in the family leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world.
the fact that things will never be the same. One minute she was here and now she is gone.
