Be not dismay for God will take care of you; in times like these we need a Savior; be very sure that your anchor holds and grips the solid rock; that rock is Jesus; as he is the only one at this time in your life that can bring comfort unto you; look to the hills from which commeth our help; our help commeth from the Lord; to be absent from the body; is to be in the presence of God; God does not put no more on us than that which we can bare; there are no more tears in heaven; Victor is resting in the arms of the Almighty God at this time; awaiting that great getting up morning; that morning when we all will be together once again; in a special place that was prepared for us; not made by the hands of man, but by God; that place where every day will be Sabbath, Sunday will have no end; all we will be doing is singing and praising God forever more; may you find comfort in the loving memories of Victor and rest assure that you will see him again.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

There is no time limit on grief. I pray that everyone respect Victor's family (especially his mom) as they try to cope with his lost. The loss of a child is unimaginable to a parent. My heart is heavy with grief and knowledge that you must lean on Jesus for He is the light in your hours of darkness.

Well Lil Vic you have two fathers waiting to meet you on the other side. One earthly father who also was gone too soon and the Heavenly Father who decided that you needed an eternal rest in His arms. Your fate was pre-destined by God not man and if it wasnt in God's plan then you would be here so we must mourn you peacefully and let God's will be done. Sleep in peace Lil Vic til we meet on that great day when we ALL must stand and be judged. So long not goodbye.
