Grandma.....so many thoughts that just can't be put into words. We all miss u so much. I know u must finally feel rested and at peace. I know u will look in on us from time to time and although everyone is still grieving as though u just left us yesterday, just know that now your children will seek out comfort in eachother. I know we didn't see eachother as much as others, but when we were in the presence of eachother u always made me feel like a part of the family. My family was very sad to here of your death, but they will always rememeber "The Belgium Lady". I will always remember your crazy sense of humor and your spontaneous character. You always had a joke or some prank up your sleeve...The boys miss you and you will always be their grandma A. Thank you for all the laughs and I look forward to seeing u again!!!!

Grandma,
Although the distance was always great and the times shared were few, it was the quality of our time together that I cherish. Thank you for everything you did for the family, and especially for raising your son to be the father he is today.
You will be missed dearly.

mom, Every time I hear this song I think of you. So I dedicate this song from me to you and here it is
Last night I had a crazy dream
a wish was granted just for me it could be anything
I didn't ask for money or a mansion in malibu I simply wished for one more day with you
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you, one more day
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl, I'd unplug the telephone and keep the T.V off, I'd hold you every second, say a million I LOVE YOU'S that's what I'd do with one more day with you.
Mom, I love you and miss you more with each passing day. I don't know if this broken heart of mine will ever mend.
I yearn to hear the sound of your voice and feel the touch of your hand.
You and Dad will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.
Your daughter Terri Hatch

Mom, I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and Love You. Everyday there is something that makes me cry for you, like a commercial on TV about Reese's Cup. Going to the mall with the girls and passing by the Pretsel Shop. Also going to their house and looking for you at your usual spot then I remember it is true. You did leave us but It is ok because all I have to do is to think of the week we all spent with you in your room watching you suffer so much and I then think "your not suffering anymore" Thank God! Tell Dad I still cry for him every time they play a song that reminds me of him the day he died. You and Dad will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. Love you very much... Linda Avitua Ortiz

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:
for praise is comely for the upright.
Praise the LORD with harp:
sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
Sing unto him a new song;
play skilfully with a loud noise.
For the word of the LORD is right;
and all his works are done in truth.
He loveth righteousness and judgment:
the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.By the word of the LORD were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth
PSALM 33
MAY THE LORD GREET YOU WITH ALL THE LOVE YOU HAVE HERE ON EARTH.
LOVE YOU GRANDMA SEE YOU
IN HEAVEN I KNOW YOU MADE IT THERE CANT WAIT TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
LOVE MATTHEW RAY AVITUA

Until we meet again, may God
Hold you in the palm of his hand.
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
But all we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your resting place we visit,
And put flowers there with care,
But no one knows the heartache,
As we turn and leave you there.
You have left this world of sorrow, and are free from pain and harm, and now rest in peace and comfort, in the blessed Savior’s arms.
In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay,
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again."
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Mom as the days pass I miss you more and more each day that goes by. The pain in my heart is unbearable. I miss you so much. I miss your smile and your beautiful blue eyes. You will live forever in my heart and on my mind. I will cherish my memmories of you and keep them with me the rest of my life. Always thinking of you and Daddy until I see you again someday.
Love you so much,
Neto

Hello Grandma, I just wanted to let the most beautiful, blue eyed, foxy, Belgian, grandma in the world to know that you will always be in my heart, sometimes I catch myself where ever I am thinking about all the thing you used to like and do. A glance at a Reeses cup breaks my heart, your scent still lingers in our home and it is a wonderful scent that I wish to never forget. You are no longer suffering and my heart is lifted yet broken at the same time, but you are in heaven now and i know we will see eachother again someday. Grandma and Grandpa are together again, hugging and laughing, and catching up on everything that’s happened. We will all miss you both, you were the best grandma in the world and I will never forget you, these last months living with you and sneaking to your bed to wish you goodnight after my shows are memories I will never forget. You’re in my heart grandma and will remain there till the moment I get to hold and hug you in heaven once more. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA WITH ALL OF MY HEART, I CANT WAIT TO GIVE YOU KISSES AGAIN!

"You have gone home to be with the lord & have bid us all goodbye". All our tears and prayers couldnt make you stay. We asked the lord why did you take her away? His reply was "I couldn't let her stay. i looked around my garden and saw an empty place. I then looked down from heaven and saw her tired face. I knew she was suffering and a cure was not to be. so i put my arms around her & whispered 'come with me'." We thank the lord for telling us why. He also put another beautiful star in the sky.
My beautiful mom, i miss you so much, the pain is unbearable and i have found it quite hard to live with out you. My heart is overwhelmed with sadness as each day passes by, I love you very much and i know that you and daddy are together in heaven waiting for me. With all my love

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 Darling Grandma:
Even though I wasn't able to see you as much as I would have liked, I will always treasure the moments I did get to spend with you. I love you and miss you very much. Peanut loves you and misses you, too! I am so glad that you aren't suffering anymore and you get to be reunited with grandpa. Thank you for all the love you have given me. You will always be in my heart.

Mom, I love you and miss you so much! Thank you for being a loving and caring mother and for raising me into the person I turned out to be. I feel some comfort in knowing that you are no longer suffering and now resting peacefully with Dad. I regret that I was not around to see you and Dad more often while being away during my military career. Nevertheless, both of you were always in my thoughts and prayers...and you always will be.
I love you...Nono
