The Broken Chain
Author: Unknown

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.


Celi,

I still can't believe that it will be a year since you left us. I think of you every day wondering what you are doing, talking to you and hoping you are listening. I text your mom just to make sure she is ok. I know we all miss you and wish you were here physically. But we all know that you are watching over all your loved ones and your friends. I will alway's hold you in my heart. You were and will always be a great friend. I will always remember your silliness, your hard work, your MILLION $$$$$ SMILE and how you always made us laugh at work. You would sit next to me at work and we would all talk and we would all laugh at what you would say. It was fun working with you. We miss your cheerful smile and laugh.

Gracie and family,

May God be with you at this time. Always remember she will be with you in your heart and cherish all the memories you had with Celi. She is at peace and in a better place.

To the Family of Araceli B. Rodriguez

God gave me the opportunity to meet your daughter/sister/grand daughter/aunt/niece/or cousin. I met Araceli through my sister-in-law Cierra Griffin. I only knew her for a short period of time, but Araceli was and will always be a wonderful friend to myself and my family. I only wish that God would have allowed us more time with her. Whenever she was in your presence you were guaranteed to be laughing or smiling. I for one will certainly miss that. Please take comfort in knowing that she was a blessing to be around and that her memories will last forever. I will always miss you Araceli "My Margarita Buddy".

Sincerely,

Ms. Chastity Sutton

Gracie and Families
Our sincerest condolences to you and your family, and our heartfelt sorrow to you, Grace and Jesse.
I feel the loss of you daughter whom I remember only as a small child going into kinder. I remember the fear you felt Grace of that first year. She grew up, and the years flew by, and we went different paths. I never got to meet her, as I see her now, so beautiful and with so such life in her eyes.
Joe, Jessica, Alex, and I (Medellin), will have Araceli and your family in our prayers. God bless you and only our Lord will give you strength, in this dark hour.

With Love Today

We thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
We think of you in silence and
often speak your name.
All we have now are our memories,
and your picture in a frame.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
A part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

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.

Daniel Campos

August 28, 2008

Dear Araceli, I know we weren't close cousins but you were still family and I am truly saddened that you are no longer with us. I asked my dad an all your other loved ones that have passed to show you the ropes up there in heaven.
To Gracie, Chuy, Adria, and Junior, I'm am sorry for you loss and my prayers are with you at this time.

Hey Babe,
Today is our first major holiday/event without you. You know it’s Tio Charlie’s birthday. I suspect we’ll have no practical jokes on him this year – that’s OK – we’ve been remembering all the old jokes you and Lisa have played on him – It has helped to remember you two laughing and giggling about whatever you two had done to Charlie (first as children, and then, recently, as young adults).
I’m so glad that you came over on Friday night. Lisa had told me that Jen was coming over. When the doorbell rang at 10:30pm I was so glad to see that it was you. I opened the door to see your million dollar smile. There was a special gleam in your eyes. I know you were happy - you were going out and you looked more beautiful that ever. You came to borrow a blouse but I know you had to see Lisa before you went out (you always did that). I got to kiss you and tell you to be careful.
I know you’ve been watching over us already – when I went to the cemetery yesterday to see you, I didn’t fall flat on my face like I did the first time I went to see Grandma there. All the flowers there are still looking as beautiful as you (OK – now I’m getting corny and besides Tio Lauro will tell me I’m writing a letter instead of a note - but I needed to talk to you.)
Love you
Tia Irma

Denise Delgado Guerra

August 27, 2008

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.

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.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we Love you still
In our hearts you hold a special place
No one can ever fill.

If tears could build a staircase
And heartache build a lane
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I met Araceli while attending NIT. She was such a great person; always had a smile and ready to help in friend in need.
Celi,
Im going to miss you so much! I'm sorry we drifted apart but you were and will always be in my heart. I'll never forget our study sessions at Michelle's :-) or going tubing w/ the others. So many memories, I wish we had time to make more. This is such a tragedy. I'm sorry we drifted apart and that I took your time for granted always putting off getting in touch w/ you b/c I just knew I had time to do it later. I'm so sorry, Celi. You will definitely be missed and never forgotten. Love you girl!
