Anna Roberta Lara

15 years, how is that possible. You were so loved. Rest in peace. Love you Anna

15 years Anna..... You are loved and missed every single day.

14 Years have gone by.. There isn´t a day that goes by wondering what life would be if you were still here. Now you have more grandchildren that I wish you could meet. I´ll tell my little one grandma would have loved her so much. I wish you were here. I´ll always miss you love you so much.

Thinking of you during the holidays. I miss you friend. Love Deanne

Anna...I wish I knew what to say..but words always fail me. I remember our talks and the laughs we shared. You were one of only a few that I trusted when we were locked up. I wish I could talk to you just one more time..... you are loved...and missed.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Goodbye Boo. May the Lord watch over your family, and give them comfort and peace. I will be praying for them.

Anna yesterday was Thanksgiving, I remember you coming over my house on one Thanksgiving, we had so much fun, you always had a smile of your face, you always talked about your kids all of the time, I miss you so much, I will see you someday, when the Lord calls on me, save a place for me, a place where there is no more pain, and no more danger, say hello to my mom, I hope that you all have met, Love you and miss you, Deanne

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

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.

My life closed twice before its close —
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me

So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
- Emily Dickinson

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried,
If love alone, could have saved you,
You never would have died.

If all the world, were ours to give,
we'd give it,..yes,..and more
to see you coming up the steps,
and walking through our door.

To hear your voice, to see your smile,
To sit and talk with you awhile,
To be with you the same old way,
Would be our fondest day.

A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BEATING
TWO SMILING EYES CLOSED TO REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US,
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST!!!
