In loving memory of

Mark Anthony-James Garcia
May 19, 1999 - June 26, 2021

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call:
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found my place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow:
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my life seemed all too brief:
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.

"Arlene Garcia September 19, 2021 My heart is heavy knowing that Marky Mark is no longer with us.? I feel truly lucky that I was able to have as much time as I did with Marky and I will always cherish those special ?memories. Our son had such an incredible soul and personality Words can't describe how unfair this is!?? The joy our son brought into our lives was immeasurable. His presence was a gift. The legacy of our Marky will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. There are no right words to erase the pain or express our sadness? #Forever9 What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget" ?It?sso hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.? I love you Marcos Antonio? Meet me at the crossroads ?? Love, Mom Arlene Garcia? ????????? Arlene Garcia's photo of Mark Anthony-James Garcia on September 19, 2021"
