The family has had their share of issues. First her sister died from childbirth and she and her husband decide to take care of their nieces and nephews. All is taking place while her husband is also waiting to get a kidney transplant getting dialysis every week and all of the sudden she gets sick and dies unexpectedly. It doesn't seem fair but somehow we all need to have faith that someday this family will be together again. So as I sad there listening to the speakers I only could think of so many times we are unhappy for no reason when we have our family members with us. What I love about attending a funeral is how much we appreciate and love people but don't say that enough to them when they are alive. Sister Roig had a beautiful soul. There were so many people who only had wonderful things to say about her and that is exactly what I want my family to say about me when I leave this earthly life.

Attending a funeral
We heard of a sudden death of a dear sister who died way too soon and today was her funeral. Her husband started by saying we are one. I didn't want to have an open casket and only show a picture of her but we never found one because in every picture I was with her showing a picture of the two of them. She was ready. She would accept gladly the Lord's will and died in peace.
