    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

    Mom, thought by now I would be used to you being gone. Harder Day by day even though I know you are up there with family. I have your gloves that you where wearing pinned to my pillow makes me sleep better. Glad you are no longer suffering. Will have you in my heart and mind forever. 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 you Grandma! I'm at the A's game thinking of you. I know how much you liked watching baseball.

    I Love and miss you mom… You think I’ve 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 – 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 we’re 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 life’s days, my joy, my love my pride.

    She was/is the example of unconditional love. Loved many and loved by many. She amazed me how little she complained and asked for ..... except maybe McDonald's. Mom, looking forward to when we're all together again. .... thank you for all you taught us and the blessing you were are in our life. Dance. ....

    Missing you a lot today! I I thought that it's supposed to get easier it seems to be getting harder not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I love you grandma.

    Miss you so much! I wear my thumbprint necklace everyday in your memory. When I'm really missing you I rub the necklace just like I would your hands. I love you Grandma.

    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

    Mom not a day goes by that your not on my mind. I am sitting in your room now watching the shows on tv just like we did every night. I love you now and forever. I'm sure your dancing in heaven with dad. And like I said to you every night "Get Some Rest"

  • 10/01/2021

    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.
