In memory of
Silvester Manrriquez
From Brenda Manrriquez
mountain
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not too long. And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, and each must go. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. Silvester was a very special Man and will forever be in our hearts.
