Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away
her journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.
Love you Herb, I've always known you to be a Great person and I've always looked up to you. Your Mother was the reason you are who you are, she was a Great woman and everyone who knew her loved her. God Bless all of you. The Limon Family.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the death of your mother and dear family matriarch Rose Marie LaFuente. I first met her after my marriage to George Palacios, many years ago. I will always remember her unique sense of humor and her great love of family. She will be remembered by many other than close family for her love of life and her kind heart. May she rest in peace until that day when we will all be called out of our memorial tombs and receive everlasting life.
