In loving memory of our Dad.
We don't need a special day to bring you to our minds. Within the past two years the days we do not think of you are very hard to find. We will never forget the day, we got a phone call and we where told that you had gone away. We know that you are gone, and no one knows that the heartache grows bigger as we try to carry on. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried; if love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. Forever to live with a heartache, sometimes a tear, but there's always a precious memory of the days when you were here. There are times when someone says a word or saying that suddenly recaptures a time, an hour or a day that brings you back as clearly as though you were still here. We keep you locked safely in our hearts to know that you are near and that we will never be apart. Dad, don't worry about your true love, we all keep Mom company and have given her comfort every day since you went away. As the next years without you come our way, just know that you are always on our minds and in our hearts. We will always know that we have the greatest guardian angel looking over us. We love and will forever miss you, Dad. Love always, the Baca family.
