Mi padre siempre estaré en mi corazón.
“Remembering our Angel in Heaven”
The Sadness never goes away,
The silent tears still flow
You’re thought of and so sadly missed
More than you’ll ever know.
But now you’re with the Angels
Safe and sound in Heaven above,
We hold on to the memories
And treasure them with love.
God took you from this world,
It was too soon to say goodbye,
But memories are precious,
They will last a lifetime trough.
We know that God has chosen you
To be his Angel too.
