Margaret, George, and Eddie. It has been a year that your mom has gone to her permanent home and to be with her loved ones. Still missing this lady. Miss the conversations we had by phone or when I would go visit her. But you know that she is watching over all of you. May God Bless each and every one of you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Margaret, Jorge and Eddie, my deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow. God needed and angel and chose your mom. She is now in a better place where there is no pain and suffering. She is now with all her loved ones. I will miss her dearly. I always enjoyed talking to her. As days and weeks pass may you continue to feel comforted by your family and friends. May your heart soon be filled with wonderful memories of the times you spend together. May God Bless you all.

Dearest Margaret, George, and Eddie, my husband Jaime and I send you our most heartfelt sympathy during this most difficult time. Dona Benita was a wonderful woman and a great friend not only to me but to my parents and my brothers as well. I will never forget her and she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I know she is at rest now and is so happy to be with her husband, and Fred and her granddaughter. Se nos acabaron nuestros "Viejitos" Margaret! You are all in my thoughts and prayers, and in my heart always. Please give my sincerest condolences to your Tia and all your family as well! Much love to the three of you.
