Condolences to the Family

When tomorrow starts without me, And I’m not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love, me, As much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, The thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.

Tia Lein as we called her.  She was a loving person.  I have memories of her from back then when my family lived in Lancaster, PA.  I remember the names of her kids Emerita, Polito, Juanita and Dionicia. I was the age of 6 1/2 when we returned to Orocovis, Puerto Rico.  Tia Lein we always remembered you and your kids, siempre una luchadora. Mis padres siempre hablaban muy bien de usted.  Dios la bendiga siempre.  A mis primos y primas aqui estamos a la orden para ustedes.
