Tribute to Chanico~When you were small


I often think of you when you were small. 

You left your fingerprints on almost every wall.
Back when you were growing up they were such happy years.
How you would smile and make up games I remember through my tears
Some day we will be together in heaven up above.
But for now I send you all my love.

SPIRIT IN THE SKY

This is a tribute to my cousin Frank Garcia. Many of us knew him by {Chanico}.
I'm going to share stories about him and all the wonderful things he did until the trial is over. If you didn't know, Frank was killed Feb. of 2006.

Chanico was the most loving and outgoing guy. He always loved to tease me about anything and everything. Even though there were many miles between us {he lived in Mt. View & San Jose and of course I lived in Arizona all my life} we always picked up right where we left off.

The most treasured memories I have of Chanico is that he loved to make everyone laugh. He did everything whole hearted and with so much joy. He was the thread that kept a lot of things together. Anywhere from families, friendships, furniture, hobbies, sports, cars, and much more. He was a loving husband, wonderful father, thoughtful son, caring brother,funniest cousin and the best friend you could ever want.

If you have a story to share please email me or leave a comment on this blog. We'd love to hear your memories!

Ediable gifts are the best!


What are the chances of getting two" Ediable" gift baskets in less than one month! My dear friend Diana sent me one on my birthday. YUM
Then this week I recieved one as a "thank you "gift from the Beckland family. Double Yum
So the next time you can't figure out what to send, this is an excellant idea!
