To the Wonderful Candelaria Family!

Genie & Ralph, Leonard & Edna, Demis (Friend) & Carmen, Andy & Eva, Paul & Maria, Donald & Kristy,



I have been thing of each one of you as you had your first holiday without your dad. The first one is always hard. But for me Christmas was the hardest. Just contiunue to remember his memories in your heart and that will keep you going. Also remember he is no longer in pain or suffering. I'm so proud of each one of you; you honored your father at the beautiful funeral. I am so proud to call you my family and at the same time I'm so sad that it took me this many years to come back to East Carbon. I want each one of you to know you are in my prayers and May God contiune to bless each of you and comfort you in the up coming holiday season.

Love in Christ, Rockey, Geraldine, Gabrielle and William McPherson



The silent stars in timeless skies,

The wonderment in children's eyes,

A rosebud in a slender vase

Are all reflections of God's face.

Helen Steiner Rice



Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! Thou has said, "Seek ye my face." My heart says to thee, "Thy face,Lord, do I seek" Hide not they face from me. Psalms 27:7-9



Today, observe your surroundings with a spiritual vision. You'll locate God in places never before imaged.

We are sorry for your loss. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.







Your father's time has come to go,

Now that God has beckoned him so,

The door of life has opened wide,

To let him through and pass inside.



Who are we to say

When and where we go?

It is not for us to choose,

Who we love or who we lose.



Before you shed a painful tear,

Whisper in his waiting ear,

"Farewell, my darling Dad,

Farewell, for all the love and good times we've had."

We're so sorry to hear of your loss. We're thinking and praying for you and your family. God Bless.

When someone dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us, don't miss me to much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine. Andy, Remembering you and your family with sincere sympathy and loss. God bless you friend. Victor
