Amelia and family:
Whispers from Heaven....

when I left the world without you I know it made you blue.
Your tears also freely I watched;I know this is true.
While you were weeping, days after I passed away-
While all was silent within me, I saw you kneel to pray.
From this wonderful place called Heaven, where all my pain is gone I sent a gentle breeze to whisper, My Loved Ones please go on.

We share your loss on the passing of our Compadre Alfred.

Your Brother Ernie and Sister Nena Anachiche and Family.
