It's time that is taken from us at our least expected moment. We humans never cease to live for the seconds we take for granted. But there comes a time when the Lord above calls, and we, His sheep-His children follow the tunnel of glory; the light that leads us to his kingdom.
Nano, you were & always will be the most loved father & husband & son-in-law a family could have. We love you, we'll miss you; your smiling face, your generosity and kindness in helping others at any given moment, your love for your Cocoa, Gorda & Gooch, & your wonderful human being ways. I'll be there by your side to hold, kiss & be your babe everyday to come until we meet again. Love, Buddy …(Yvonne)
For my son, Fernando, Jr. Mijo, Yo te di Vida, pero Dios te quita la vida Mortal, para seguir a su lado viviendo en paz eternidad…Espero que un dia, yo, tu Madre vuelvo aver te con tu sonrisa tan bonito. …Tu Madre, Jessie…
For our brother, Fernando, 'Bro', as the oldest in our family we are grateful for all the things you showed us. Throughout life, we learned that what we do and what we become is what we call destiny. We will remember the 'Rambo' in you, the Big Brother in you, the beautiful Father that you were. Family is the Blessing in life that God gives us to share; Good and Bad, Happy and Sad, Glory and Gloom, and LOVE for one another…
We shall remember your beautiful singing voice, your favorite places, Sedona, Oak Greek, the outdoor life that of which made your spirit free. Your pain that only you could feel, has been taken and you have gone to the embracing peace that you share in the heavens with all the Angels. God will keep you close to him now…Peace be at your side…, Your Brothers & Sisters…
The Mercy of God is very tender, & heaven's dawn is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness & death's shadow, & to guide us to the path of peace.'-Luke 1:78, 79
