My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news.
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose.
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real.
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel.
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see.
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land.
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love.
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday
& a MILLION words would not bring you back, I know because i've tried.
Neither would a MILLION tears, i know cause I cried! LOVE&MISS YOU CUZ!!

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.

"When i found out that my friend had died i thought of the first time i had met him in the 6th grade i had him in a class. The whole family has my condolences and he will be missed. I think the sadest part is I just found out that he is a distant cousin of mine."

To the Family of Jesus P. Alvarez:
Please accept my sincere condolence on the loss of your loved one. I did not know him personally but my nephew, Robert Battle,(Coop) did. He was so very hurt by your loss that he told us what a great guy your son was, so from that I know he was special. Please know that your son is in God's loving arms and all is well with him there. He's at home now with our Father.
Sincerely sorry,
