A VISION
An angel sang
in the heavens tonight
And welcomed another soul
with pure delight
A soul that left
loved ones behind
And suffers no more,
is peaceful of mind
The angel then guided
the joyful soul
To meet the Lord with grace,
“Welcome, my child” He said
And gave Nicholas
a warm embrace
An angel sang
in the heavens tonight
as the Lord received
a precious soul
with pure delight.

Nick my big brother I still can't believe your gone. The last time we spoke you were worried about my health problems little did I know you were already fighting your battle. I wish you would've told me your weren't feeling well. I'm going to miss you & our phone calls to check up on each other. I knew I should've made you some bean tamales this past Christmas. We all have so many happy memories of our family. We were always together from Dad & Mom playing softball to you boys playing football, baseball, track, fishing, golfing. You left us to soon but I hope you give Mom, Dad, Patrick & my Mijo Daniel a big hug & kiss for me. This isn't goodbye it's until we meet again in Heaven. Watch over all of us my Angel brother. Love & miss you forever in our hearts
