Dearest Family! I am so sorry to hear of your “Treasured” loss. She was an amazing soul. She has finished this earthly race and has earned her "Golden Crown" in God's Glory! ~where there are no more tears and no more pain! She has won favor with God and be rest assured that she will continue to pray for her loved-ones here on earth preparing a place for each one!. . . This is not the end, we are spiritual beings on a human journey back to our Creator, God. Keep the memories of her love and let that love sustain you until you meet up with her again! Our families were very close when our parents made their Cursillo around the same time. Monica sponsored me when I made my First Holy Communion. I believe Ricky and one of the Nuevano boys made our communion together. Your family will forever be a part of the puzzle of God to fulfill His Holy Will. Love and prayers for Mr Quiroz and all the family. George and MaryLou Lucero Gonzalez (Frank and Adriana's #3 Daughter - 3 out of 8)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever met a person who made you feel so welcome and that she's known you for years? Someone who greeted you with a smile, sparkle in her eye and with a big embrace. That was Monica Quiroz for me. I will never forget her kindness and stories she shared of her family growing up. My condolences to Mr. Quiroz and their family, who I'm sure will miss her dearly. She was always an Angel on Earth and now in Heaven.
