"To My Dearest Family & Friends"

To my dearest family & friends
Some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know
That I arrived okay

I'm writing this from Heaven
Where I now dwell with God above
Where there's no more tears or sadness,
There is just eternal love

Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you
Every morning, noon and night

That day I had to leave you
When my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said I welcome you

It's good to have you back again
You were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family
They'll be here later on

Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine
Is to watch and care for you

And I will be beside you
Every day and week and year
And when you're sad, I'm standing there
To wipe away the tear

And when you lie in bed at night
The days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
In the middle of the night

When you think of my life on earth
And all those loving years
Because you're only human
They are bound to bring you tears

But do not be afraid to cry
It does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers
Unless there was some rain

I wish that I could tell you
Of all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you
You wouldn't understand

But one thing is for certain
Though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
Than I ever was before

I'm still not far away from you 
I'm just beyond the crest

 But together we can do it
Taking one day at a time

It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too
That as you give unto the world
So the world will give to you

If you can help somebody
Who is in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night
My day was not in vain

And now I am contented
That my life it was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile

So if you meet somebody
Who is down and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick him up
As on your way you go

When you are walking down the street
And you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind

And when you feel the gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you a great big hug
Or just a soft embrace

And when it's time for you to go
From that body to be free
Remember you're not going
You are coming here to me

Below is a poem that Patti had found on the internet and was using to dedicate it to her Angel Son Dustin.

To Dustin From His Mom Patti

I wish you hadn't died, but you did.
You, who taught me how to live,
Who taught me what safety was
And who showed me how to love.

I wish you hadn't had to die…
You could be here with me now,
Talking, laughing, crying with me,
Sharing everything life throws our way,
Enjoying each other.

You showed me what love is,
Your affection never dimmed.
You modelled generosity,
Your spirit lives on…
And my heart remembers.

You took so little time to die
And I was so weary of it,
But my grief has never let up.
I miss you every day,
Because you left me behind.

There isn't a day that I don't think about you,
That I don't wonder where you are,
Or how you would look if you were here?

Would your tastes be the same, all these years on?
Would you still enjoy life the same way you did,
Or would age and pain have changed you,
The way they have changed me?

I wish you hadn't died when you did.
I love you beyond measure.
If you were here, this aching might leave me,
I might have a hand to hold,
The real presence of a love so strong, so powerful
That death cannot separate, nor separation dilute.

You may be lost to me in this world,
But you are always with me.
I find you in the things that even death cannot steal.

Please help us find who murdered Emily Jeanette Garcia and her unborn son Emilio. It has been 17 years for our family since their murder and we need answers and justice.

The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
