If we could have a lifetime wish A dream that would come true, We'd pray to God with all our hearts For yesterday and You. A thousand words can not bring you back We know because we've tried... Neither will a thousand tears We know because we've cried... You left behind our broken hearts And happy memories too... But we did not want memories We only wanted You.
Father, we miss you so much. Our hearts aches because you are gone and long to see your smiling face again.
Don't Grieve for Me / Maria Torres (Daughter)
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard His call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or pray. Tasks were left undone they must remain this way, I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lenghten it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and share with me God wanted me now, He set me Free.
If Tears Could Build a Stairway / Maria Torres (Daughter)
Dad, If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches with sadness, And lots of tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.
I Love You and Miss You so much Dad. Always in my heart
Remember Me / Maria Torres (Daughter)
To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace. And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore, Gazing at a beautiful sea Remember me.
As you look in awe at the mighty forest And its grand majesty Remember me.
Remember me in your heart, Your thoughts and your memories Of the times we cried, The times we fought, The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
I will Always Be There / Maria Torres (Daughter)
I may be invisible to your sight, but I'm forever here You may not hear me speak, but I'm forever whispering in your ear. You may not feel my touch, but I'm forever by your side.. You may not feel my presence but I will forever remind you my soul has not died. You may not see my face but I am forever smiling at you. You may not know I'm there but I'm forever watching what you do. I may not breathe the same air but I'm forever holding you and though I can not be seen I am forever, like my love for you.
Our loving Father, Husband, Grandpa Jose
Christmas from the Heart by Judy Burnette / Maria Torres (daughter)
I heard your voice in the wind today and I turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me as I stood silently in place.
I felt your touch in the sun today as its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace and my spirit soared high.
I saw your eyes in the window pane as I watched the falling rain; It seemed as each raindrop fell it quietly said your name.
I held you close in my heart today it made me feel complete; You may have died...but you are not gone you will always be a part of me.
As long as the sun shines... the wind blows... the rain falls... You will live on inside of me forever for that is all my heart knows
We love you and miss you so much dad. On this first Christmas without your warm embrace, I pray to God to give us strength and courage to face another day without the beautiful presence of our loving father. Memories of last Christmas come to mind ... I remember how much fun you had watching the kids open their presents. Dad, you have not left us...you continue to beat in our hearts and you will remain with us for all of eternity.

Cuando Mañana Comienze Sin Mi / (Autor: David Romano).
Cuando mañana comienze sin mi y no este aqui para mirar... Si el sol sale y te encuentra con tus ojos llenos de lagrimas por mi,
Deseo tanto que no llores como lo hiciste hoy... Mientras pensabas de las tantas cosas que no pudimos decir.
Yo se cuanto me quieres, Tanto como yo te quiero a ti... Y cada vez que pienses en mi, Yo se que tambien me extrañaras.
Pero cuando mañana comienze sin mi, por favor trata de comprender... Que Dios vino y llamo mi nombre Y me llevo de la mano,
Y me dijo que mi lugar estaba listo aya arriba en el cielo...Y que debia dejar atras a todos los que amo.
Asi es que cuando mañana comienze sin mi, no pienses que estamos lejos... Porque cada vez que pienses en mi, Ayi estare en tu corazon.
Cuando sientes una ligera brisa acariciandote cuando suspires Es un abrazo mandado desde el cielo de parte de un ser querido desde arriba.
Si una suave y tierna gota de lluvia cae sobre tu nariz Le han agregado un pequeño beso Tan fragil como una rosa.
Si una cancion que escuches te llena con un sentimiento de dulce amor Es un abrazo mandado desde el cielo De alguien muy especial aya arriba.
Si te despiertas por la mañana con el cantar de un lindo pajarito Es musica mandada desde el cielo Para animarte todo el dia.
Si pequeñitos pedazos de nieve caen sobre tu cara Es un abrazo desde el cielo Recortado con encaje de Angel.
Asi es que manten la alegria en tu corazon, porque si estas solitaria querida Esposa mia Los abrazos mandados desde el cielo tu corazon sanaran.
Morir es... / Maria Torres (Hija)
Morir no es cerrar los ojos porque llegó la noche, sino bajar los párpados para no ser encandilados por la luz de un nuevo amanecer.
Morir no es cruzar las manos porque llegó el final de la tarea, sino descansar un poco porque pronto comienza la nueva y gran tarea.
Morir no es detener los pies porque se acabó el camino, sino darle un poco de descanso para estar de pie mañana.
Morir no es callar la voz porque llegó el silencio para siempre, sino darle un descanso porque mañana habrá que amanecer cantando.
Morir no es finalizar la marcha en la oscuridad profunda, sino cruzar el túnel hacia la luz que enamora.
Morir no es sufrir la última desilusión porque todo se acaba, sino vivir la última esperanza porque todo empieza.
Morir, no es morirse para siempre, sino comenzar a vivir eternamente. Autor: Rene Trossero
No se Apenen por mi / Maria Torres (hija)
No se apenen por mi, porque ahora estoy libre. Estoy siguiendo el camino Que Dios me a dirigido.
Tome su mano cuando Escuche su llamado Me voltie de espalda y lo deje todo. No me pude quedar un dia mas, Para reir, para amar, para trabajar o rezar.
Tareas quedaron sin terminar deben quedarse asi, Encontre esa paz al terminar el dia. Si mi partida les a dejado un vacio, llenenlo con alegria de mis recuerdos.
Quizas mi tiempo parecio demasiado breve, No me lo alarguen ahora con dolor sin necesidad. Levanten sus corazones, y compartanlos conmigo.
