Lord, we will likely encounter much today that we may be tempted to respond to in anger, either inwardly or outwardly. Help us to hear your voice, examine our hearts and respond in a Christ-honoring way. Amen.

Forgive Others Involved
The greater challenge to us as Christians was to rise up and say, 'We forgive. We're not going to hold them accountable in any way, shape, or form.'
"We did whatever we had to do to align ourselves in a way that we could imagine the Lord Jesus Christ doing. When we were willing to do that, we released healing, and we released miracles."
Turn your thoughts to the things of God--His words, His attributes, His creation, His promises--and not to blame.
"But there is forgiveness with thee" (Psalm 130:4 kjv).
Lord, forgive me and open my heart to forgive others who are involved in this situation. Amen.
What would you do if you were in my situation? He was my son. My only son. It hurts. You have no idea how much it hurts. But, I cannot hold that hate in my heart. I fill much more Love than hate. Hate makes me feel awful, ugly, mad,
dirty, and when I think of my son, Danny, it' different. I feel Love, I feel joy, just remembering the good times we spend together. Things he would tell me that would make me laugh. I see his pictures, his smile, he was always happy. He was full of love for all of us. Especially his two girls. They were his pride and joy. They would make him feel special. Sure we had problems, but we would manage somehow. He loved his family. He would do anything for anyone of us. He would find a way to help us. Stand for us. Anyone of us. I am left with all those precious memories. There has always been love in this family. My love for him is so special. Nothing compared to those others. It looks like they don't even know the meaning of love for the family much less for themselves. But, that's them. They will never take away our Love from Danny. They are the opposite of him. Love is greater than death. You are so right, Anabel. Love is greater than death. I don't care what happens to those guys. Their day will come when they will have to face God. God will give them justice. That will be the day for them.
Expecting the worst and hoping for the best.....

"The LORD is my rock,
my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I
find protection.
He is my shield the strengh
of my salvation,
and my stronghold."
Psalm 18:2 (NLT)
Danny,
I know I keep repeating myself, but, I miss you so much!! I know that God is with you always. He guides you and comforts you the way you need him most. Guides us and protect us. Send your special Angels to watch over your girls.
Loving you and missing you so much.
Susie | Tommy Gonzalez | May 26, 2010 |
Thank You for thinking of Danny. You don't know how happy it makes me to hear from one of his friend. Yes, he is in a better place. Danny had a good heart.
He is deeply missed by all of us. I'm trying to focus on good memories. That' s all I have left from him. Only memories . He was always happy. Todo el tiempo andaba con sus amigos coming and going. Always in a hurry. he'd say Vamos, andle vamos to wherever he wanted to go. Tommy,please remember us in your prayers. Don't forget about him.
Tell me more about the good times you all used to have. I enjoy hearing from all of you. Keep in touch.

If a person is a believer in Jesus Christ, nothing can separate him or her from the love of God.
If you have lost a loved one, do not weary yourself with the burden of wondering if he or she is in heaven. God alone knows the hearts of people, and He is a just and merciful God.
Take the time now to get your heart right with the Lord. Surrender your life to the healing Christ; and obey what is written in His Word. Know for certain that as a believer you will live in His presence forever in heaven.
"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:40).
Savior Jesus, I give my life to You and seek to please You all of my days. You are my hope and my life. Amen.
Mom | Danny | May 23, 2010 |
I LOVE YOU

Mom | Alexandrias First Birthday without her Daddy | May 22, 2010 |
My Dearest Baby Alexandria
Today will be your first B-Day will without your Daddy. It'll be a special day for you. We'll have balloons and send them with lots of messages and lots of kisses.
They will fly away, just like before. And I know he'll get them, cause they will fly straight to heaven, especially yours. I know he is watching over his favorite girls.
Grandma wishes you a day filled with sunshine and surprises. My love for you is very special, you are his baby girl. By now, he would of been calling everyone of us. We'd probably all go to his house and he would BBQ.
Especially your favorite ribs, just for you. We'll have a great day. He'll be watching all of us from heaven.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I LOVE YOU!!
Mom | Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Pray for Us | May 21, 2010 |
"Immaculate Heart of Mary
Pray for Us"
St. Alphonsus says: "Just as men take pride in having others wear their livery, so the Most Holy Mary is plased when Her servants wear Her Scapular as a mark that they have dedicated themselves to Her service, and are members of the "Family of the Motherof God".
True Devotion to Mary
CONSISTS IN THREE THINGS
Veneration-Confidence-Love
Without saying to Mary that we venerate Her, love Her and trust Her, we tell Her these things every moment of the day by simply wearing the Scapular.
The Scapular then is a Prayer!
Our Lord taught us to say the "Our Father," Mary taught us the value of the Scapular. When we use it as a prayer, Our Lady draws us to the Scared Heart of her Devine Son. It is well, therefore, to hold the Scapular in the hand while addressing Our Lady.
Because you love Mary's Scapular,
VENERATE IT OFTEN
Pope Benedic XV and other church fathers have recommended wearing the Brown Scapuar. This Devotion and Garment can be traced back to The Old Testament, to the great prophet Elias and the remaining faithful living in the caves of Mount Carmel and is recommended to sincere people of all faiths.
Attach then, great importance to your brown Scapular, it is an assurance to your salvation, just as to reject Mary's grace is to invite perdition.
"O Queen, who art the beauty of Carmel and the mediatrix of all graces, pray for us" (prayer from the Raccolta-may be said on your Rosary Beads)
"The Lamb of God Who takest away th sins of the world" is symbolzed in he wool brown Scapular and is thus preferable to the medal. Spreaddevotio to the brown Scapular. Protect your Scapular picture with scotch tape.
God Bless!!
Rebecca | Missing You | May 21, 2010 |
time we hear your name,
We’ve cried so many tears,
yet our heart’s broken just the same.
We miss our times together,
things in common we could share,
But nothing fills the emptiness
now you’re no longer there.
We’ve so many precious memories
to last our whole life through
Each one of them reminders of
how much we are missing you….
Rebecca | For Daniel | May 21, 2010 |
They say there is a reason.
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way I feel.
For no one knows the heartache
That lies behind my smiles.
No one knows how many times
I have broken down and cried.
I want to tell you something
So there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to be without.
Rebecca | My Dearest Danny | May 21, 2010 |
Mom | Danny | May 19, 2010 |
When I'm lonely and afraid
you whisper, "Child, fear not."
When I simply can't go on
you say, "Take one more shot."
When nothing seems to
go my way you tell me,
"Trust....you'll see!"
Like an angel on my shoulder,
you're always
there for me.
Mom | Danny | May 19, 2010 |

The Prayer
I pray you'll be our eyes, watch us where we go,
help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
I pray we'll find your light
and hold it in our hearts, when stars go out each night.
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
We ask that life be kind
and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
another soul to love
The force he gives us
We ask that life be kind
and watch us from abve
everyone finds love
Let this be our prayer,
just like eery child
Needs to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.
It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us.......
Mom | Treasure Your Memories | May 10, 2010 |
TREASURE YOUR MEMORIES
Children are a gift from the Lord.
You want the best for your children--long, happy lives;
spirtual growth; and fulfillment. But every day is a
gift from God. Even in your loss, it's good to be
thankful for the time you did have together.
After prayer today, spend time thinking about
joyous and humorous times you had with your child.
Lord of heaven, calm my heat and help me to
remember right now the precious memories I can
learn from, grow from, and treasure in my heart daily.
AMEN
