ALEXANDER, STANLEY GENE (MATT) On January 26, 2014, Matt took his music to the afterlife. His last wish was for all of his friends and family to turn on some music and raise a glass in his name. To honor this wish, a tribute to Matt and his music will be held on Thursday, March 13th, 5:30pm at Molly's Bar in Tijeras. Matt donated his body to research so this will be the only opportunity to gather and share stories. In addition, this is jam night at Molly's so everyone bring their favorite instrument and join us in sending Matt off in style. RIP Matt, you are missed.

PEREA, FELIPE R. 1/7/50 - 3/14/10 FOREVER Life continues its dreams and I must drink from its springs Dance to its beatsbut After all the kisses, after all the loves, You are still the lifeblood That sustains me, that nourishes me. Forever I carry your heart Tucked in the recesses of my heart. How long can love last if not forever in our hearts? ...until we meet again in a lifetime ...until matter and energy coalesce into form and dimension ...until the universe melts away. Across the meanderings and maze of time, Across the starry nights of a variety of galaxies, Across the dreams dreamt through the millenniums, We shall forever seek each other To fulfill vows we spoke to one another...in another time. Copyright, R.A Perea 2/16/14
