Girlie's blow-out bash

Friendship is the candle that lights up your heart whenever it is dark outside.

Only your real friends tell you when your face is dirty.

The Bella Clan

The love of family is life's greates blessing.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

The Rivera Siblings - Merle, Girlie, Vic, Duval, Karr and Evelyn

Families are like fudge.....mostly sweet with a few nuts.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution that works, is the FAMILY.

The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.

George and Gaizel

Love is a promise, love is a souveneir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

Gary and Katie

Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

The Lejano Grandchildren

The best inheritance a parent can give to his children is a few minutes of their time each day.

The Lejano Gentlemen

In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.

The Lejano Ladies

The Love of family is life's greatest blessings.

In love, it is better to know and be disappointed, than to not know and always wonder.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach when feeling out of sight for the ends of Being and Ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's most quiet need, by sun and candle light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right. I love thee purely, as they turn form Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use in my old griefs and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life....and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

I love thee, I love but thee

With a love that shall not die

Till the sun grows cold,

And the stars grow old.

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We wull grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...........

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

My Best Friend Forever.

It is by chance that we met, by choice that we became friends.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget.
