Carlos Jesus Alvarado
Carlos Jesus Alvarado, 65,
Passed away Tuesday, Dec. 14,
1999 at a local hospital.
God saw you growing tired
when a cure was not to be. So
he closed his arms around you
and whispered, “Come to me”.
You didn’t deserve what you
went through and so he gave
you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful;
He only takes the best and
when we saw you sleeping so
peaceful, free from pain, we
could not wish you back to suffer
that again.
It broke our heart to lose you,
but you didn’t go alone, for part
of us went with you, the day
God called you home.
He was preceded in death by
his mother, Francisca M. Alvarado
and a son, Jose David Alvarado.
