Jose Isabel Castro 1942 ~ 2009

His services went well, practically all the family was there, on both sides. I can't get over the fact that Marcos and I both lost our fathers in less than a year. I remember talking to my dad about my suegro and how unfortunate his loss has been. Now that I look back it's kind of earie that his time was coming up and there he was consoling me and Marcos. It just doesn't seem real to me. Many years ago Marcos had a conversation with my dad, where my dad was questioning if anyone would bother showing up to his funeral. Marcos after a long pause exclaimed "don't worry, I'll be there" my dad laughed and the conversation was over. He would have been happy to know that his childhood friends were also present. There was word in his hometown of El Cerrito Pelon (Atolinga), Zacatecas Mex. of his passing. There was a service done on his behalf. They said that the capilla was full of family and friends. ~Sandra

I love you too!!!! Be strong in the truth that your dad is now in peace.....ay San.....I.....how can I say that.......its so difficult to say words of enlightment to someone who has lost a loved one, especially a parent!!!! I think I would be torn apart and inconsolable!!!! The thought of not seeing them again etc etc, a missing person in our life!!!! So what I'd rather say is....YES SANDRA, CRY..... CRY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT FOR YOUR LOSS!!!!! AFTER ALL HE WAS YOUR DAD!!!!! CRY YOUR EYES OUT UNTIL ALL THAT PAIN YOU FEEL IS EXHAUSTED AND YOU CANT CRY NO MORE, BECAUSE THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND YOU WILL SEE LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND WILL BE RENEWED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...DONT HOLD BACK THE TEARS, THE ANGER, THE SADNESS YOU FEEL, MOURN HIM, HE WAS SPECIAL TO YOU!!!!! I love you and want you to know that the distance between us is only metric, because I feel you close to my heart always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!!

Adios Padre Mio

No imagine este dolor que siento
Son muchas las cosas que pasaron
Yo no se que dirán por allí
Pero lo único que importa
Es que te perdí por un momento
Una niñez mala vivida
Per mi consuelo es
Que volveré a verte
Que entre tú y yo
No pudiera ver sido
Un cariño, tarde per merecido
Gracias a Dios que conmovió mi corazón
Para haber tenido estos momentos contigo
Hubo paz y tranquilidad en nuestras vidas
Quisiera que mi ultimo recuerdo
No fuera, ese cariñoso saludo
Que tus ultimas palabra no fueran, hay te veo
Que tu voz no se hubiera grabado
Firmemente en mi corazón
Quisiera no tener que estar recordando
Que si te extraño
Tu Fuiste, tarde que temprano un apoyo para mi familia
Ojala y tu corazón se quedo tranquilo
No hay nada más que decir, más que te extraño y te quiero
Primero Dios espero que te vuelva a poner en mi camino
Para seguir siendo tu mi padre y yo tu hija
Si me duele mucho haberte perdido “Dad”

Carolyn went to sleep on July 9th, 2009

Please convey our love and deepest sympathy to her dear husband and sons. We'll keep on the lookout in the new world for a very tall, slender figure, maybe a lot younger looking. Her battle is over... ours is still on.........Sadly, Bette

I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn. My condolences to you Sandra because I know this must be very hard for you too, afterall you were her best friend and a dear friend. She is now resting and until she awakens again, we will move forward in Jehovah's work so that we can be there to welcome her back. Connie

There is so much comfort in the fact that Jehovah has the power and desire to bring back to life those we love. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Erica

Just want to let you know I appreciate the updates on Carolyn. It is so sad to hear she died. You have been a true sister in helping Carolyn and I am touched by all you did for her. You are special!! This time must be hard for you and your daughter. But you are a true example for all of us in Menifee Cong on what be loving really means. Love Terri

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am happy to know that she is now in peace.
Love to you and her family
Debbie

THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR US I KNOW HOW HARD IT HAS BEEN FOR YOU. I AM PRAYING FOR EVERYONE. I DIDN'T GET TO TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER.
