Diego Rivera Obituary

Diego A. Rivera 6/6/86-10/5/07 It's been a year since you were taken from us and our hearts are still broken. They say time will heal and yet it's just one more day without you. We would give anything to hear your voice and see your face again. You were robbed of life at such a young age and served such injustice in life and death. You once said you would rather die like a man than live like a coward and only God can judge you. How true those words are today. Will never stop loving you, Mom & Dad, Leo, Leti, J.D. & Jacob. (Memorial Mass will be held at his home today at 2:00 p.m.)

"Please don't cry for me"

If you could see my surroundings,
and see the sights I see...

If you could hear what I am hearing,
angels singing eternally.

If you knew the one I'm hugging,
You would not cry for me.

You see, now I live with JESUS,
No place I'd rather be.

For GOD. HIS love and forgiveness
was waiting patiently.

So if you shed a tear,
please don't shed a tear for me.

Because if you could see where I live,
you would not cry for me.

Submitted with love,
Yolanda and Alex Calkins & Mrs. Hughes

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.
