Message from Myrna Montanez

A truly GREAT lady has departed this earth, but will not be forgotten. Emma was a wonderful wife, sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, and a true friend to my mom, Esperanza Montanez. She was an ADOPTED MOTHER and inspiration to all who knew and grew up around her and her family. I remember when I was young, I would go to your house and visit Norma. I would eat your food and then go to the back porch with Norma and just listen to maple trees sways with the sound of rain falling. Since then, every time I see and hear a maple tree sway, that memory comes back to me and I think of you. Who will answer to me, "Que DIOS te bendiga", when I ask for a BENDICION? I will miss you serving you breakfast and Puerto Rican coffee with the boiled milk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this vacation. Until we meet again, I love and will miss you soooooo much. Rest in Peace.

Dedicated to our Wela,
Times (Tiempos)
Featuring artist: Ruben Blades

Song: Tiempos

 
Spanish
Tiempos

La vida es una huella de triunfos y fracasos,
formada por pedazos de amor y de dolor.
El tiempo es un rosario, sus cuentas los recuerdos,
jardín del sentimiento de lo que se vivió.
 
Hay un tiempo pa´ reir, y otro tiempo pa´ llorar.
Un tiempo para partir, y otro para regresar.
Hay un tiempo pa´ vivir, y otro para terminar,
hay un tiempo pa´ morir y otro para comenzar.
 
Cuando llegue la hora del fin de mi camino,
que mi sonrisa diga que acepto lo que fuí.
Las cosas materiales las dejaré contigo;
solo se irá conmigo todo lo que aprendí.
Que hay un tiempo para dar y otro para recibir,
un tiempo para pensar y otro para decidir.
Que hay un tiempo pa´ olvidar y otro tiempo pa´ entender.
Hay un tiempo pa´ ganar, y otro tiempo pa´ perder.
 
Hay un tiempo pa´ sufrir y hay un tiempo para amar.
Un tiempo para sentir y otro para perdonar.
Hay un tiempo pa´ vivir y otro para terminar.
Hay un tiempo pa´ morir y otro para comenzar.

English translation
Times

Life is a trail of triumphs and failures
Formed by pieces of love and of pain
Time is a rosary, its accounts are memories
A garden of feelings of that which was lived
 
There is a time to laugh, and another time to cry
A time to leave, and another to return.
There is a time to live, and another to finish,
There is a time to die and another to begin.
 
When the final hour of my journey arrives,
My smile says that I accept what I was.
I will leave material things with you;
Only that which I learned will come with me.
That there is a time to give and another to receive,
A time to contemplate and another to decide.
That there is a time to forget and a time to understand.
There is a time to win, and another time to lose.
 
There is a time to suffer and there is a time to love.
A time to regret and another to forgive.
There is a time to live, and another to finish,
There is a time to die and another to begin.
