JOSE GUADALUPE RESENDEZ

Jose Guadalupe Resendez, 71, passed away on January 6, 2020 at a local hospital, surrounded by his family.

I have worked in the fertile earth and planted a garden,

So I know what faith is.

I have seen the morning without clouds after showers,

So I know what beauty is.

I have sat before a wood fire with family and friends,

So I know what companionship is.

I have seen the miracle of Spring, in frutation of Summer,

And the beauty of Autumn, followed by the pause of Winter.

So I know what life is and because I have perceived all these

Things, I know who God is.

My Lord, My Savior.
