Learn as if you were going to live forever.

Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.
(Mahatma Gandhi)

 
This memorial website was created in rememberance of our dearest

son Jacob Cruz, born in New York on July 29, 1974 and went to our

In Loving Memory of our son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend...

A golden heart stop beating. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

Forever in our hearts... Love mom, dad and your sisters Leidy & Nina

We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone

For part of us went with you... the day God called you home

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide

And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side

Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one, our Family chain will link again

Forever in our hearts, we love and miss you...   

In Memory of Jacob's Life!

This memorial website is in honor of my son Jacob Cruz.  A place where family and friends can honor and
remember Jacob's life when he was with us, light him candles and share tributes/condolences.  We welcome
and appreciate your thoughts and experiences you had shared with our loving son Jacob.  God Bless...

Remembering Jacob at 17 yrs old...

Rest in Peace our Angel, until we meet again.  Forever in our hearts!

What My Child Has Taught Me
I`ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can`t.
I`ve learned that learning to forgive takes a lot of practice.
I`ve learned that friends may become strangers,
And strangers become friends.

I`ve learned that ignorance isn`t an excuse for lack of compassion.
I`ve learned that some people will never,ever-"get it".
I`ve learned that the community of sorrow is the strongest of all.
I`ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn`t stop for your grief.

I`ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of minutes.
I`ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you ever see them.
I`ve learned that love isn`t measured by the amount of time
you have with someone.

Remember ME

To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
To the happy, I am at peace.
To the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen but I can be heard.
So as you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty,
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories.
Of the times we cried, the times we fought, and the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.
