O God, this hour revives in us memories of loved ones who are here no more. What happiness we shared when they walked among us! What joy, when, loving and loved, we lived our lives together! Their memory is a blessing forever.

Months or years may have passed, yet we feel near to them. Our hearts yearn for them. Though the bitter grief has softened, a duller pain abides, for the place where once they stood is empty now. The links of life are broken, but the links of love and longing cannot break. Their souls are bound up with ours forever.

O Lord, I thank You for allowing me to have these very special people in my life.   I have been truly blessed by their presence, their words and actions, and their love. I grieve not for them, but for myself, as I truly miss them. We shared so much, and yet I feel our times together were fleeting. Help me, O God, to realize that the distance between us now is not so great and that one day, I will be reunited with them in paradise. Together, we will glorify You, Almighty Father, Your only Son, Jesus Christ, and Your Holy Spirit for all eternity. Amen
You're always in our Hearts!

Good morning mom , I just want to tell you I love you and miss you very much . Thank you for being the great person you are . Kisses and hugs to heaven .

A Mother's Crown

Heaven lit up with a mighty presence, as the Angels all looked down. Today the Lord was placing the jewels into my Mother's Crown.

He held up a golden crown, as my darling mother looked on. He said in His gentle voice, I will now explain each one.'

The first gem,' He said, is a Ruby, and it's for endurance alone, for all the nights you waited up for your children to come home.'

For all the nights by their bedside, you stayed till the fever went down. For nursing every little wound, I add this ruby to your crown.'

An emerald, I'll place by the ruby, for leading your child in the right way. For teaching them the lessons, that made them who they are today.'

For always being right there, through all life's important events. I give you a sapphire stone, for the time and love you spent.'

For untying the strings that held them, when they grew up and left home.
I give you this one for courage. Then the Lord added a garnet stone.

I'll place a stone of amethyst,' He said. For all the times you spent on your knees, when you asked if I'd take care of your children, and then for having faith in Me.'

I have a pearl for every little sacrifice that you made without them knowing. For all the times you went without, to keep them happy, healthy and growing.'

And last of all I have a diamond, the greatest one of all, for sharing unconditional love whether they were big or small.'

It was your love that helped them grow feeling safe, happy and proud.
A love so strong and pure It could shift the darkest cloud.'

After the Lord placed the last jewel in, He said, Your crown is now complete, You've earned your place in Heaven with your children at your feet.'

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven MOM! We love You ~Your Children

Life is but a stopping place-
Its merely a pause in what's to be just a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys & different paths along the way.
We here to learn some things, just never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place far greater than we know,
For some,the journey's quicker, for others the journey is slow. But when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward,and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.

Sending hugs and kisses to our angel  MOM -Thank you for all your hugs, kisses and love bust most of all for your dedication to your children!

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still water. He restoreth my soul;
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou
preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou 
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and 
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the 
house of the Lord for ever. Amen

God looked around His garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth  and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful because He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you the day God called you home one year ago. 
MOM - You are Always in our Hearts! We Love you and Miss You ~Sending mucho besos to you and brother

When I am gone, release me  let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years

I gave you love, you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love each have shown
but now its time that I travel alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
so bless those memories within your heart.

I will not be far away, for life goes on.
so if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.

Then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and Welcome you home

Good morning mom , I wish I can hug you  and whisper to your ear how much I love you and miss you . I wish God can open the curtain and I can see you wave at me and say I love you and see that you are surround by our love ones. but I know one day will meet .   love you KIKO

If flowers grow in heaven, 
 Lord, then pick a bunch for us. 
 Then place them in my mother's arms 
 and tell her they're from  all of us. 
 Please tell her that we love her and that we have missed her very much and when she turns to smile, gently kiss her cheek and hold her in your arms giving her all our love and kisses
~Children

Sending our love to you and Thanking God for having you as a mom and eveyone in Heaven who watch over us! 

For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep these in all ways. Psalm 91:11.

The promise that one day we will all be together with you again- until then I know you are always with us, watching over us and guiding us like the mom you have always been.

I really wish heaven had a phone so i could here you say I love you one more time. Just one more chance to say I love you Grandma and for you to know.......

Today is one month that the Lord has called our mother home to be with Him. She has joined our brother Ray and other family members in Heaven to receive her wings. 

As a dedicated and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend,she was our pillar of life with an unwavering faith and devotion to her family. 

As a Homemaker, her joys in life were God, praying and sending cards. She loved baking sweets for the family, enjoyed decorating, making crafts. No one can ever forget her famous pineapple squares, pan de polvo, pecan sandies, birthday cakes or delicious pies. 

She will be greatly missed and never forgotten for she was the treasure in our lives. As she joins her son in heaven, she leaves behind her family and friends to cherish her memories. 

Please join us in a celebration of her life and continue her legacy to pray for the Children and the Elderly, as we wait here on earth until our Lord tenderly calls us Home one by one. May the Lord, Jesus Christ shine HIS Light upon your Face today and always.

I wish I can  see you now MOM  dancing in heaven with your son . I will always have a empty space in my  heart losing you and Ray in less than five years . I know that he is  not alone now and that you have him wrap in your arms once again  . 
 I love you both and I will see you again to be in your arms again remember to save a dance for me one day .Love KIKO.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that day, 
God was going to call your name. 
In life we loved you dearly, 
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone. 
For part of us went with you, 
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, 
Your love is still our guide. 
And although we cannot see you, 
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, 
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Mom & Ray, sending you our hugs & kisses to heaven today!
all your children

God's Garden
God looked around His garden and He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face.
He put  His arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills are hard to climb.
So, he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you the day that GOD called you Home.

We love you, mom! We rejoice that you are with our Brother Ray and family. Give him a hug and kiss for us.
~love your children, your husband, grand children & great grandchildren

I'll never forget you Mrs. Atkinson. You are very special to me. You were a kind face and a friendly smile when I was a child. I am so thankful that I got to know you as an adult. A very genuinely caring and loving person. I thank god that me and your daughter Janie became such good friends throughout the years that I got to know you. You hold a very special place in my heart. I was truly blessed to have known you. Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Anna
