We were so sorry to hear about your husband and father. But he is not lost, he is home with the Lord, free of any ailments and once he is rested, God will have great plans for him. You will all be with him again someday. Earth is but a stopping point in our lives. Home is where Jesus is. God bless you all. Having lost a loved one once, I know that things look dismal now, but cherish the memories of him and not the death of him, and the days will become brighter.

May God give you strength in the days ahead to carry on. Know that God holds your father in the plam of his hands and he is at peace. Your memories will be a source of strength and your love for him and each other a testament to his devotion and love of his family. Pat

Daddy,

You are in my thoughts daily. A part of me is missing. I feared many times this day would come when God would take you to rest but selfishly I wanted you to stay with me forever. Mom and I miss you so much. We miss your smile, your laughter and most of all the hugs and comfort you gave us. I will love you forever.

Heaven and Earth



When the warmth of the sun touches my face,

I see your smile and feel your embrace.

I hear the whisper of love in the wind

And I know that you are close to me again.



The rain speaks of tears and the thunder of pain,

But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.

As the days come and go and the world moves on,

I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.

On the night the Angel came and took your hand,

We cried as you left for an unknown land.

But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight,

For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!



our codolence goes out to the cortez family.
