My Maria Gone but Never Forgotten

Today Marks 4 years that this world has missed the amazingly caring and beautiful Maria Cruz Mills and four years that she has been in the presence 
of our savior Jesus Christ!So many things have changed since you've been away...... I can't say you'd be proud of every one of them 
 but you wouldn't be surprised ;)....Such a big piece of our hearts went with you the day you went home... Your smile is forever embedded in our hearts
 and your memory lives on through each one of the amazing stories told of your generosity, Love, awesome fiestyness(thanks for that ma maw) ,wonderful food
 that only you could make taste so so good, and your forgiving nature.God gave me to you to be your Grand daughter for 27 years of my life and I only wish, 
still to this day, that I could've shared so many more moments with you than time allowed. On the other hand I'm so very grateful for the time given to me.
 My children had the privlige of meeting, knowing,& loving you and still recall the sound of your laugh..... Blessed they are!!! People tell me more and 
more that I look like you, my emotion can't be put into words when I hear that I'm anything like you..... I wish for so many things back but I know it would
 only make me long for more.. You keep praising God, watching over us , and keep a spot for me....... I miss you so much each time I go home to Crossett the 
hurt cuts deeper, It's an empty space where such joy used to live... I'll find that Joy again one day, I know I will!Love you my sweet Maria!!!!!
