Estoy triste porque ya no existe esta persona que fue para mi un padre verdadero.

El que me cuido mé vistio mé dió todo ló que tenia, su bondad, su respecto y amor.

El padre que mé dió seguridad, calor, y valor para seguir en la vida.

Padres hay muchos pero el verdadero padre es el que se queda contigo.

Ahora ya sé fué y por el resto de mi vida lo extrañare y siempre tendré en mi corazon un espacio especial para él.

Adios papá Mauro se que nos cuidarás desde el cielo junto á nuestra madre Agustina y hermana Conchi.

Time to Learn Lyrics by Tim O'Brien



There's a version of this song on YouTube.

Over the years I have listened to versions by Tim O'Brien and Maura O'Connell both of which always move me.

I hope you enjoy reading the lyrics. I think this would be a perfect song to sing at my funeral.

Cemetery Maintenance

From the Reynolds County, Missouri Page on Facebook


How many of you have family buried in a cemetery that is no longer maintained? Do you know of a graveyard in need of major cleanup? I can no longer do such work myself and I know that many of you cannot either. If you are like me, you are being asked for donations quite frequently. Most requests are for good causes. Our young people are the ones most capable of doing this kind of work and are the ones who most often require donations for their activities. As school or church projects for raising money, could not we have an "abandoned cemetery fund". I probably wouldn't donate $50 or a $100 for a junior or senior class activity or trip, but I would donate for something like this. (RCG Contributor)
