There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
I will rise

Love you :rose::broken_heart::broken_heart:

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
[2x]
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Will be forever mine.
You are forever mine.

I Love and miss you momâ¦
You think Iâve gone, that I am passed, and life has lost its will,
But look around, I am right here, living with you still
I watch your tears, I feel your pain â I see the things you do
I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul, it lives with you
It gives such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do
And when you smile over by gone days, I smile right with you too
For weâre still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being
Walking forward into life, though only you are seen
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain it really starts
Stretch out a little with your mind and draw me to your heart
For I am always right in there, always by your side
For you have been, all my lifeâs days, my joy, my love my pride.

Dear mom sorry it took so long to post a memory of you. There are so many that I really couldn't just post one.it would take me forever and a day to post. You where my rock many times over. I could always depend on you for advice, maybe sometimes you ignored me but I know you was trying to make me think things out for myself. I know you really enjoyed when families got together. Even at younger years in Oakland when the bacas got together you where happy. It's going to be real hard for me to go on in life without you. Even though I know you will always be in our hearts forever. I will try to comfort all that needs it like you would want. Love forever :heartbeat::heartbeat:

In Memory Of A Dear Grandma
It's always sad but comforting to silently recall your smile and dear familiar face so loved by one and all. For the world may keep turning and change from day to day but precious memories of you will never fade away. And here's hoping that this message which carries so much love will somehow find its way to you in heaven up above. It's to let you know, dear Grandma that, although you are at rest you'll live forever in the hearts of those that loved you best.

Grandma Baca, oh how I wish I could have spent more time with you. I wish my children would have had the opportunity to know you. I've been told that I get my sewing skills from you. I think of that every time I sit down to make something. I remember you had a drawer in your kitchen that I would always find abba zabba candies in. I remember looking forward to visiting you and getting new booties with the fluffy balls on the back. I'll always keep your memories alive for my children, I promise. I hope you enjoy the next chapter of your journey more than you can ever imagine. Until we meet again dear grandma...I'll always love you.

Dear Starr and Family,
My deepest condolences to you all on the passing of Gigi. She was an amazing woman and full of life and super funny. I always enjoyed the few times that I met her. On those times she always gave me something that she crocheted or knitted.
She is now resting in peace and will always be in your hearts and memory.
Love,
Maureen Flores

My heart is sad for the loss of a beautiful soul, her laughter, warmth & goodness will be missed. She was one of a kind, a Hoot to be around, in all my years knowing her, never knew her to say unkind word about anyone, or complain about anything, she was a trooper in life. I have such beautiful loving memories of my childhood with Auntie that I will cherish forever. I know that my Mama was waiting with loving arms and all our family will cradle her heart with love....she's home & at peace. I love you Auntie with all my heart. My tears are with you Larry & Doreen and all your family. I know your heart is breaking, just know that their love for you lives in your heart every day....that kind of love never leaves us. Larry you were an amazing son...be very proud of how good you took care of your Mama....she loved you so & appreciated the good life you gave her. You allowed her to live her years with dignity, respect & love, for that you will always be blessed! My love & support is with you always. God bless you all!

I held her hand as she silently whispered her goodbye
A last breath as I watched her pass
Her skin swollen-battered and bruised
By all the things that we felt we needed to use
I stroked her hair and wiped her eyes
Wanting so much for them to open and see
That I was alone there in the world
Alone with the agony growing inside of me
I watched those around me shed their tears
And utter their words of sorrow
How could they know that I was dying inside?
I couldn't and you wouldn't - face tomorrow
One last time I kissed your face
And held your hand to touch my cheek
I wanted to carry you away from there
My fragile mother who was just too weak
I heard my family all around me
The silence now so loud
And I walked away - my heart now broken
I will face the waiting days knowing that I was loved so much
with a broken heart. I will always love you mom forever and forever.
