| I Did Not Die In life we're never quite ready to say that last "Goodbye", so listen now as I state the truth: I've changed, but I did not die! I don't need that tired, worn body for I've changed like the butterfly. And now I'm in my Heavenly home ~ that wondrous place in the sky! Jesus was faithful in His promise and He promised I would live again. My Joy has now been made complete and my Peace, you can’t understand. So, don't stand at my grave and weep. Instead, wipe that tear from your eye and know how much I still love you. Know in your heart I did not die! Copyright 2002, Ferna Lary Mills Used with author's permission. |

| Armando Gonzalez January 23, 1925 ~ October 13, 2006 |
| Born in Esperanza, Cuba, he died at his home in Miami, Florida after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. With much gratitude to all the Hospice nurses and doctors who helped him pass from here to Jesus' loving arms. We were married thirty-six years. Together we were truly blessed with four children: Kenneth, Deana, Dana, and David, and seven grandchildren. He also leaves behind two sisters Aida and Ada. Though the illness robbed him of his memory, his love for Jesus was always in his heart. When we went to church and they would sing "How Great Thou Art", he would cry. Nothing could rob him of that deep love he felt for Jesus. Life without him is very empty. I now count every day I complete as one day closer to seeing him again. There will be no more tears there because there will be forever. Armando was a very affectionate loving man. He loved to walk by my side holding my hand and admiring the beautiful flowers and trees God has made. Always worshiped me and called me beautiful, even when I didn't feel worthy or beautiful. He was my hero. He was my best friend. He was my soul mate. I could always count on him through good times and bad times. He was the perfect example of what a husband, father and grandfather ought to be... always gentle, always loving. He always put his family and their needs above his. He gave his love abundantly. I will miss you always darling, and I will love you forever. Save a spot for me at the dinner table. Until we meet again. |
