Dear Tata, as our tears fall we think back to times long gone when you would be the strength that our life was built upon. We remember all the happiness you brought through to the years and although they are the sweetest memories, we cannot stop our tears you were always our protector advisor and our guide and life could never be the same without you to walk beside. So, Tata, as we pay this visit to your resting place today, we’d like to thank you for the caring that we could never repay. Descansa en paz Tata dl mundo se volvió un poco sombrio el dia que te fuiste pero ten la seguridad de que estaremos bien ahora esas en paz no más sufrimento no mas dolor Descanza en paz Tata El mun-do se volvió un poco mas brillante hoy cuando las quertas se abrieron para llevarte al cielo descansa en Paz Tata mientras disfrutas del Cielo.
