Liz Brach always said it better
On June 12, 2003 a piece of my heart was taken.
Lourdes Gomez passed away.
I have so many great memories of her.
Her grace, her beauty.
It fascinated me.
I have trouble believing that she is gone. Forever.
Lourdes, you were my other mother, my inspiration.
I always admired your morals, your values.
You were always there for us.
And you occupied a space in my heart
That will never be filled by another.
You were so strong, so brave.
In every way possible.
And you always cared for me especially when it seemed like no one else did.
If only I would have known.
The last time I saw you, the day before you passed on.
We embraced…
I would have held on to you so much longer.
Long enough to change the course of your existence.
Long enough so that you would still be here.
You weren’t supposed to leave.
Although you were here long enough to leave an impression…
You left us prematurely.
Maybe it is selfish of me.
But I want you here.
I want to hear your voice…see your beautiful smile.
Your spirit still lives.
It dwells in me, and in Alexis, and everyone else whom you have touched.
I cannot stop picturing your face.
It takes over my mind, you were absolutely beautiful.
Immaculate.
Classic.
This world was not pure enough for you, and that is why you moved on.
I just want you here.
I will always love you.
Rest In Peace, Dear Lourdes.
You will be well missed.
And you are loved dearly.
I will remember you forever.
And I know one day we will meet again.
