To the Velez Family,



The purpose of life's journey

is not always crystal clear;

Especially when the road we travel

is sometimes paved with fear.

Yet we keep the faith, and trust God's light

will guide us, far and near;

While we pray for strength and courage to cope

with the struggles we face here.

So, if a word or two could offer you

some comfort, hope or cheer,

Please know that thoughts and prayers are with you

each day throughout each year



Both Manny & I want you to know we are thinking of everyone at this time. We Pray that the memories help you with during time of grief.



We Love you

Manny & Nichole
