Bermea Villegas became our precious angel in heaven on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014.
She was only five years old. Little Naiya is now holding God's hand. There is
no more pain or violence. She is now happy and one of the beautiful angels in
heaven along with her great-grandparents. We know that she was on borrowed
time. "but Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me and do not
hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'" Matthew 19:14

Fly -
"Fly, fly little wing. Fly beyond imagining. The softest cloud, the
whitest dove upon the wind of heaven's love. Past the planets and the stars,
leave this lonely world of ours. Escape the sorrow and the pain and fly again.
Fly, fly precious one. Your endless journey has begun. Take your gentle
happiness, far too beautiful for this. Cross over to the other shore. There is
peace forever more. But hold this memory bittersweet until we meet. Fly, fly do
not fear. Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear. Your heart is pure, your
soul is free. Be on your way, don't wait for me. Above the universe you'll
climb. On beyond the hands of time the moon will rise, the sun will set, but I
won't forget. Fly, fly little wing. Fly where only angels sing. Fly away, the
time is right. Do now, find the light."
