Kiera Anne Mendoza

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine," He said. "For you to love the while she lives. It may be six or seven years or twenty-two or three, but will you, till I call her back take care of her for Me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and should her stay be brief, you'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from Earth return, but there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I've looked this wide world over in My search for teachers true, and from he throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give her all your love, not through the labour vain, nor hate Me when I come to call and take her back again? I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the joy Thy child shall bring, for the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for her much sooner then we planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.Kiera will always be loved and remembered by her parents, Cheri and Jesse Mendoza; big brothers, Matthew and Isaac; big sister, Alyssa; paternal grandparents, Rafael and Adelfina Rodriguez; aunts and uncles, Andrea and Sam, Krysta and Rafael, Jr., Alma and Angel, and Art and Lehuta; and all her cousins."Lady Bug, We Love You."Funeral Home:The Springs Funeral Services3115 East Platte AvenueColorado Springs, , COUS 80909 Events Service Wednesday, May 25, 2011 12:00AM The Springs Funeral Services 3115 East Platte Avenue Colorado Springs, CO 80909 Phone: 719-207-8855
