Obituary Preview: Poco sabíamos ese día, Dios iba a llamar tu nombre. En la vida te amamos mucho, en la muerte, hacemos lo mismo. Rompió nuestros corazones para perderte. No fuiste solo. Por una parte de nosotros fuimos contigo, el día que Dios te llamó a casa. Nos dejaste hermosos recuerdos, tu amor sigue siendo nuestro guía. Y aunque no podamos verte, siempre estás a nuestro lado. Nuestra cadena familiar está rota, y nada parece ser lo mismo, pero como Dios nos llama uno por uno, la cadena se volverá a unir.

Jose Luis Fuentes - January 06, 1996 - March 27, 2021

Departed: 03/27/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: Tear drops, slow and steady, The pain so real and true, God took another angel, And that angel, dear, was you.

Angel wings, upon the clouds, Your body softly sleeps, Hush now little angel, No more tears you have to weep.

Little prayers are sent to you, The short life you led; Your family will never forget you, So rest your little head.

I know God will look after you, Now you are truly alive, Your spirit soars beyond the moon, Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless, Now stretch your wings and fly, You’re loved by so many, It will never be goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes, No more tears, just go and rest, Let your soul lie peacefully, We know you did your best.

Arsenio Pineda De Vivar - May 17, 1952 - March 20, 2021

Departed: 03/20/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: To the living, I am gone,  To the sorrowful, I will never return,  To the angry, I was cheated,  But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen.  I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.  So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,  As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,  Remember me.

Remember me in your heart:  Your thoughts, and your memories,  Of the times we loved,  The times we cried,  The times we fought,  The times we laughed.  For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

Obituary Preview: When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little . . . But not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared . . . Miss me, but let me go! For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It’s all part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me . . . But let me go.

Obituary Preview: We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Bharti Chandrakant Dave - August 15, 1929 - February 05, 2021

Departed: 02/05/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: If I could but see, again your face, Oh how much my heart would race, And nothing could ever efface, The mem’ry of our last embrace. If I could climb to Heaven’s gate And just look in to watch awhile, Then I know I could joyfully wait, If I could see your happy smile. If I could hear the song you sing And your laughter bless my ears, Then grief would lose its sting And a smile would dry my tears. But faith would lose its esteem, And Heaven’d lose its stealth, So we must be denied this dream, If Heaven is to keep its wealth.

Obituary Preview: I’m blessed to call you sister, I also call you friend; You’ve loved me unconditionally, And stood through thick and thin.

You’ve shared my joys and sorrows, My laughter and my tears. You’ve been my inspiration, As we grew up through the years.

When we were little children We laughed and played together; Then growing up you stood by me, Through good and stormy weather.

There’s something God has given us, That’s more than family; He’s placed a love for you, my Sister, Deep down in the heart of me.

Departed: 02/01/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: High on a hill so far away Where all the beauty lies, I see your smiling face so near It almost makes me cry. I look at the trees so tall and pure And I can see you standing there, With arms outstretched, waiting for me, Knowing I won’t be there. The flowers, the trees and the blue sky above And the memories that we shared Are all I have left now of The wonderful love that we shared. I pray to God that someday soon, We will meet on our hill in the sky, And walk hand in hand in our wonderland, And in the lovely green grass we will lie. Till then my true love, I must be content to wait in our garden of love, To hold you in my arms again, When God takes us both above. Twill be a glorious reunion A day to be reborn again, A day when we start our lives over Never to be separated again.

Obituary Preview: Another leaf has fallen, another soul has gone. But still we have God's promises, in every robin's song. For he is in His heaven, and though He takes away, He always leaves to mortals, the bright sun's kindly ray. He leaves the fragrant blossoms, and lovely forest, green. And gives us new found comfort, when we on Him will lean.

Departed: 01/27/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: On Wednesday January 27, 2021, Charles Sierra, loving father, grandfather, husband and brother passed away at age 93.

Charles, or “Charlie”  was born on October 5, 1927, in Los Angeles, California to Ernesto and Julia (Arzate) Sierra. He attended and graduated from Robert Louis Stevenson Junior High and Theodore Roosevelt High School. He received his Bachelor’s of Science degree from California State University, Los Angeles on February 1, 1957 and his Master's degree in Delinquency Control from the University of Southern California on November 16, 1973.

They raised one daughter, Rita and three sons: Ronald; Robert; and Raymond. Charlie also had four grandchildren: Lauren; Camille; Michael; and Isabella.

Charlie had a passion for sports and had a successful minor league baseball career in the Texas El Paso leagues playing for both the El Paso Texans and the Odessa Oilers from 1947 to 1948.

Obituary Preview: I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder how I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh, but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's Will. There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remains, You shall rest in Jesus' land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!

Departed: 01/18/2021 (Los Angeles)

Obituary Preview: Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God has chosen for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I’ve found now peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Oh yes, these things, I too will l miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, look for the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief; don’t lengthen your time with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now – He set me free.
