I will never forget Mrs. Vilma Moran!What a beautiful person! As co-workers at Lowell Middle School, she always brightened my day! Such an interesting, informative and humorous lady. Always there when I needed her. She was an inspiration to our special needs students, and they thought the sun rose and set in "Mrs. Moran," especially Mayo and Cati. She was exceptionally good in administering to their needs. She was the best! Of course the subject of the day was always Michael, Mr. Moran, or both! I will always have very fond memories of Vilma. I will keep you in my prayers Mr. Moran and Michael. May God Bless you and your families, always.

To Vilma's husband, son, family, as well as to Macias and Virgina, our long lost friends, our condolences and may the God of all Comfort sustain you in the shelter of his love and His peace which surpasses all understanding embrace you with His spirit. Because of Calvary she is not in your past, but in your future for there is coming a day when we will meet on the other side where there is no more tears and no more parting.

Blessings,
Sarah and Ed Martinez

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

May the Perpetual Light Shine Upon her and may she rest in Peace. I'll always remember Velma's smile and how she used to laugh. My family always had a special place in their hearts for her. She will be dearly missed.

My dear friend, Mary Ellen, please accept my sincere sympathy at the homegoing of your sister. Only you and your family know the real suffering she has endured over the years. We thank God for the three and a half additional years He allowed you to spend with her, and if it's of any comfort to you, just remember the wonderful moments you had with her....especially during those "gifted" three years. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your family. My prayer, "M.E.", is that the Great Comforter will wrap His arms around all of you and keep you as you grieve. There is peace in knowing that if we are obedient to HIM, we will see Vilma again. These inadequate bits of encouragement are sent to you also in thanks for our loving and lasting friendship. I love you, "M.E."!!
