Frankie and Javier
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Our heart and prayers are with you.
GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the
earth and saw your tried face.
He put his arms around you and lifted
you to rest.
Gods garden must be beautiful,he
only takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home..
