Maribel, and family,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. May the lord give you the strength to continue your life journey without her. She is now in a better place. God Bless you all.

Marcos this is for you and your family. You were a precious gift from God above,
so much beauty, grace and love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways,
your smile so bright even on the bad days.
You heard God's whisper calling you home,
you didn't want to go and leave us alone.
You loved us so much, you held on tight,
till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.
He had called your name twice before,
you knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with our love we will be together again some day
