Hochgraber officiating. FOREVER "MAMITA" ZOILA There was a mighty strong spirit inside you and some time ago, you passed some of it onto your children, who then passed it onto theirs, and now like roses flourishing in a garden of love, we see it in our children.This will continue to repeat all thru time, and your legacy shall continue to grow like vines, and you can look down from the heavens, and see your vineyard thru endless time. One day, we will stand by the ocean, breath the moist air, feel its majestic appeal, its glorious beauty and magnificent size; and, as we stand in awe, we will be inspired to kindle that spirit and rejoice the time for being around you.Those wonderful things will remind us of being with wonderful you. In the spring, when the rain fulfill the day with serenity, we will relive the memories of yesterday, when seeing you smile, hearing you laugh, and most of all feeling your love and approval for each and all of who we are, and with your blessing, we will be able to set standards for who we can be. The Matriarch of the family you were and will be forever, as we continue our lives hoping for your approval in the things we do, the life we live. When our eyes are illuminated by a falling star, we will pause in time and wonder where you are, but then, we'll come to focus and realize you're in our hearts, in our prayers, and in our spirit like all the days before.One day, we will see you again in a place where saints are rejoicing your arrival now, a place where you can reunite with all those who paved the way, and here we pay homage to your life, your honor, and your Legacy. When night shall fall you will come to us all, sometimes in pictures on the wall, sometimes in one another, like I've already seen in a certain look my wife gives me, or that little laugh my daughter has, or a smile of approval I get from time to time from your daughter, my mother in law. Though we do not worship you as a god, we do pay our respects to your honor today, tomorrow and forever, because in our eyes you are the Archangel (Angel of the highest rank), and you have earned your place among them, and here among us for generations to come, thru the mountains, the valleys, canyons and prairies, from Texas to California to Guatemala and beyond.Throughout time the wind shall carry your name... FOREVER "MAMITA" ZOILA Bobby J. Cirkles (Grandson in law - Janis' husband) October 13, 2002
