VARGAS, NORMA JEAN August 30, 1943- August 21, 2012 My Dearest Norma, Two years have gone by since you left this world to a place of supreme happiness. In that time my feelings for you have gotten stronger. It transcends love in that your spirit and soul have become part of me as one. We are forever bound together. Yet, it is hard to accept the reality that you are gone and I'm here in the middle of a heartache with no end in sight. Time does not heal when time stands still. Some broken hearts never mend. You were perfect and I was severely flawed, but God sent you to me then took you back when I needed you the most. I have faith that someday we will be together again and I too will find peace in "Norma's Happy Place". Para ti, mi vida, una promesa para recordarte que mi amor por ti es para siempre. Te amo. David

TRUJILLO, LOUISE H. September 20, 1918- August, 21, 2004 We knew little that evening that God would call your name In life, we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us home one by one The chain will link again. We love you Mom, your family, Jack, David, Dorothy, Shirley and we know James is with you and Dad.
