Stella Valdez Obituary

August 17, 1937-October 12, 2007 Dear Mom- It's been 10 years today since God took you away We're glad your pain is over, but we miss you day to day. Sometimes life isn't easy, it seems unfair and cruel, But we deal with the cards we're given, we do not make the rules. Times are hard, the family's split, we all are so divided, I beg of you dear mother, to please try to forgive us, for there is hope that one day soon, God will choose to reunite us. We miss you dearly as time ticks by you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you The day God called you home. With much love and respect, Your kids, Grand kids, Great Grand kids And Dad.
