Que la paz de Dios sea contigo
Tu ausencia a sido fuerte para mi y solamente el tiempo va aliviar este dolor.Te amo Mami y te lo repetia dias cuando estaba en Chgo contigo.Sigues la luz del Padre porque el es el camino la luz y la verda.

Tia, The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

Tia, Los ángeles están siempre cerca de aquellos que se apenan, susurrarles que sus amados son seguros en la mano de Dios.
