Although I did not know Graciela but the one time I met her, I write these words more for her family and a very dear friend that I have met in her son, Joe and his wife, Priscilla. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Our Second World

There's a place up in the sky

filled with people we love.

It's up where angels fly,

It's the heavens up above.

The home of our second world

where we will all meet again.

So we must remember that

our lives never really end.

So, when you feel sad and blue

and you think you lost all hope,

your loved one's somewhere new,

and there's loved ones here to help you cope.

I'm here for you guys - always remember that.

Love, Deana & Anissa
