My Dear Friend Golda,
I will never forget the times we laughed together…sometimes we laughed so hard we cried! You have been a wonderful friend to so many people..Your genuine concern for other’s is what made you so very special. I truly believe you were an EARTHLY Angel for the time you were with us and have now been called Home because He needed another HEAVENLY Angel! I will always remember the support you gave to me when my heart was hurting…It’s hurting again today… for Mariano and the kids.. Your Family and friends will miss you greatly…It is comforting to know that a part of you will remain in our hearts FOREVER.
Love…and till we meet again Girlfriend…Fran

Dear Golda,

My fondest memories of you were at work,where I first met you. You always had the best advice! and the sweetest laugh that would make me laugh. You told me a story once about you that made me cry with laughter and I used to “make” you share it with others,mostly because I wanted to hear it again…You were the most caring nurse, too and your patients knew it. The best part of the day would be when we finished and we would call our husbands and decide where we were going to eat…one New Years eve, we all went to Chili’s because you and I worked and we drank pina coladas…the laughter would multiply and the company was the best. God gave me a ‘gift’ when I visited you a few weeks ago. It was a miracle that you were sitting up,eating dinner and just being you,asking about my family and the latest news,with Mariano happily at your side. I kissed your soft cheek and told you I loved you and I always will love you…Golda, you would make anyone want to do whatever it took to go to heaven, just so they could see you again! and we will meet again,my friend, we will…

My Dearest Golda-
where do I start? Golda I remember working those LONG 12 hour shifts at west and all we could do to get through the day was dance and tell jokes and laugh till we cried……….boy those were the days uh? We would always talk about life,church,God and whose your next guest speaker at church? Remember JUDY JACOBS,what an awesome women of God,we laughed soooo hard at her sermon, ohhhhh remember Charissma Women’s Conference in Daytona? That was an awesome time we shared together! I will always remember those days. Being Christian and knowing about death and heaven and hell I’m not sad your gone because you are alive and well walking those streets of gold living in a mansion the Lord has prepared for you!!!!!!!!!!! Life has just begun for you Golda…you will be missed tremendously! But one day we WILL meet again in all his glory! Thanks for always being there and always asking about my family and the munchkins you would call them. I love you and until we meet again keep dancing up there on those streets of gold Golda-never stop dancing and worshipping him! You defenitely are a worshipper :

Wow…Golda, what can I say? I miss your beautiful smile, your laughter,your advice oh yes, I will continue to wait patiently for Mr. Right, your comaderie and the exemplary life you led as a woman of God. I KNOW that you are walking those streets of gold. Someone else mentioned those conferences with women ministering and I instantly recalled how we would discuss those topics with joy and much praise. Girl I will always remember you for many things, but above all, the exemplary way in which you led you life as a child of God, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. Rest in God’s arms my dear.

My beautiful wife,
I can not believe that you are gone from this physical world 3 weeks ago. The pain in my heart is great and I know that I will miss you for the rest of my life.
You always were a very positive person, happy, full of life, greatest friend, wife, nurse and specially a superb MOM. I always admired you and told you so many times. You were one of the biggest inspirations in my life and a good example to follow.
You have left a big emptiness in my heart and soul but, I know that God’s ways are always perfect and we always trusted Him in every way in our lives. I also know that you are now in perfect health and company and that one day we will meet again and enjoy together the Glory of our Lord for all eternity.
I will continue being faithful in The Lord Jesus Christ and continue teaching all our kids the good news of our Lord and savior.
Love you eternally,
Mariano
