Dear Mamasita, I miss your presence soooo much! I can still see you at the table and smell your mama cream "Oil of Olay". I know you are with dad and your family and your not sick anymore. Although that brings me great joy as I think of you and write this, tears fill my eyes, and my heart is broken. I so missed talking with you when you became so sick. Mama it was an honor to love and care for you! I have been so used to caring for you that at the moment I feel kinda of lost. I haven't quite figured out how to live my life as for many years you were my life. I pray that you know how much I loved you! I hope I gave you enough hugs and kisses! I pray that you knew how much I appreciated everything you did for our family and how much it meant that you helped me with Justine and Aaron. You were self sacrificing and I know your children meant everything to you. I will never forget the time you used dad's old coins that were worth alot to buy us a popsicle from the Ice Cream man, not caring you would be in a bit of trouble for this later with dad. Every time I was involved in something at school you were always there to support me. I as I grew into a woman and went thru difficult times you were there. We've laughed and cried together and there is nothing in this world that could ever replace that. When dad bought me that pink plymouth, little did he know that he would no longer have his dinner ready every night. We would go on adventures from downtown Denver to New Mexico! Most of the time I would get lost, but you'd still get in that hot pink car with me. I'd have to call dad and he'd say I knew you'd be calling where are you? I'd have to admit I was lost and we would laugh about it on the way home. I will always remember the deep love that you and dad shared and I am happy that you are reunited. Someday we will be reunited and catch up. I love you mamasita, Kata
To those of you who lit candles thank you, please feel free to share a story or memory it is very healing to our family. love you all!

Though mom was petite, her heart was huge. She raised me as her own and I felt nothing but love and comfort when I was with her. She is in heaven now but her memory will be with me forever. God Bless Her and my extended family...

I met Richard and Linda briefly in the Spring of 1970. They welcomed me in to their home, and I could feel the love and compassion in their home.

Rest with God Always...my prayers & deep condolences.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
