To you, dear Joseph Michael,
Thank you for the immense joy you brought to our family, though brief. You will remain forever in our hearts. We love you.
To all of you dear family and friends,
Thank you for your prayers, for your presence, for your words of comfort, for your hugs, for your help, for your love, for being just there with us, in our most trying times. Let me share with you a beautiful poem written by our children, Angelo and Caren, in their hour of grief, a day before our Baby Joseph Michael’s physical body was returned to His Creator, our God.

Joseph Michael (Our Angel)You came to us
God’s loving gift
Our baby boy
Our source of joy.You gave us love
The purest kind
Your perfect smile
Your touch so mild.We had our hopes
Our dreams, our plans
Until one day
God reached out His hand.He called you home
He needed you
To join His host of Angels
So mighty, so strong.You said, “Yes Lord.”
Then bid us good bye
“I’ll watch over you
From heaven up high.”Dear Joseph Michael
Our baby, our Angel
You are God’s gift to us
And you are our gift to God.We love you,
Daddy Joseph Angelo
Mommy Caren Marie
Ate Sofia Bernice
Ate Agatha ClarisseJoseph Michael G. Racoma
20 August-3 October 2007This is a poem written by us, Angelo and Caren, for our baby boy Joseph Michael.
