WE THOUGHT OF YOU WITH LOVE TODAY.
BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW.
WE THOUGHT OF YOU YESTERDAY.
AND DAYS BEFORE THAT TOO.
WE THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE.
WE OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME.
NOW ALL WE HAVE IS MEMORIES.
AND YOUR PICTURE IN A FRAME.
YOUR MEMORY IS OUR KEEPSAKE.
WITH WHICH WE'LL NEVER PART.
GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPING.
WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEART.

MY PRECIOUS CHILD, I LOVE YOU.
FROM YOUR MOTHER.

Yes Sis,Damien would be proud and he's also in peace,and this is exacly how he would have want it,for both his parents to keep going.There is a mission to be completed,and you know that we are all going to be together someday...but guess what Damien and Adrian are one step ahead of us,leave it to our Son's.Grief if you must but just remember,Daimen does not want you sad.It,s healthy for us to talk about our Son,s and tears to roll down on our face.May God give you the strength to accept the things we cannot change. Love Your Sis. Rosalie

Dolly and family-

Dolly, it's been such a long time since we've seen or talked to you. We heard about the loss of your son and wanted you to know we are thinking of you and your family. Your Nino Frank in Riverside wanted you to know he loves you and is thinking of you too. Unfortunately we never had a chance to meet your son. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. God be with you all during this very difficult time. May God comfort you and know you are being thought of today.

God bless,
Nino Frank Araiza in Riverside
