To all my cousins: The Garay, The Galindo and The Castaneda FAMILIES, My deepest and sincere Sympathy goes out to all of you during this very sad time. I know how close the whole family is and I'm sure that you will find the comfort you need in this time of Grief amongst each other. Tia Tencha and Tio Martin are together once again and looking down on everyone with a great big smile :) Although your hearts ache for them in presence, always know that they are always in your hearts in spirit. They both are watching down on you all and there is no more suffering, there is only PEACE!! I love and miss all of you, your cousin

THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME

God looked around his garden,
and he found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this Earth.
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you, an dlifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful.
He only takes the best.

He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
get well on Earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered,"Peace by Thine"

It broke our heats to lose you, but you didn't go alone for part of us went with you.

Our deepest sympathy, sincere thoughts and condolences go out to the whole family.

Their will only be one GRANDMA.
