CELEBRATE YOURSELF! God has given you everything you need, and has made you everything you are forever to be - LOVE. REJOICE! For with death comes understanding of what we know little about.

So take delight in this most special day of days, and behold the Sacred Heart of Jesus is now and forever in you as we take our fondest memories of you and dedicate them to honor your life. You have left your mark on us, and we are eternally grateful.

May you celebrate all the possibilities of this day! And may the merciful love and infinite goodness of God our Father, Creator of you and all the living, and the eternal peace of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, be with you always. HAPPY ETERNALLY YOU!!! You were born for Love!!! You were born for Heaven!!! "Thank you!" for all the ways you gave your love to us and everyone you hold dear on the altar of your heart. For your love now has its eternal source in the merciful and precious Heart of Jesus and is the very essence of Heaven. May your soul continually be rich and overflowing with all the bounty of love Almighty God has to offer. Holy Mary, sweet Mother of God, embrace our beloved Lydia and all our dearly departed, and defend them with the power of Your Eternal Sword of Suffering against all evil, now and forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. We love you, Lydia!!! You are our forever valentine!!! YOURS ALWAYS IN LOVE, Jose' and AnneMarie POST SCRIPT IN LOVE! Love is patient, love is kind....Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When we were children, we talked like children, we thought like chiildren, we reasoned like children. When we grew up, we put aside our childish ways. At present, we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; but then we shall see face to face. At present, we know partially; then we shall know fully, even as we are fully known. What remains are these three: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love! (1 Corinthians 13:4-13) We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
