RODRIGUEZ, HECTOR M. Hector, "The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again." Hector, not a day goes by that I don't miss you. Your laugh, your walk, your smile. JUST YOU!! My life will never be the same now that you're gone, but I hold on to God's promises that we will meet again someday, "save a place for me". I will always love you, Virginia Rodriguez
