So He looked around blue-sky heavens and found that you were sad, and unhappy, sick and depressed. So our heavenly father took you to heaven to make his garden complete, when he took you, you did not go alone. For he took a piece of each of us to have close with you. Your wisdom is an art you share so generously. Your words are golden threads that bind our family. You covered us all by a quilt of love, it warms us like no other. So God used the hands of one so dear. The one we call mother and grandmother. - From your loving family. Arrangements are by Mission Funeral Home, 1615 E. Cesar Chavez. (512) 476-4355. GLEN O.
