Good morning everyone. God has given me another day. Today is my brother's wake and I am can't seem to get my daughter, Etta Marie Delgado off my mind or him. Don't know how long I will last at the funeral parlor but I am gonna try. Please keep his children and our family in your prayers. We will need strength to get through today and tomorrow. I know they are together in Heaven and are all around me. I guess I am just really feeling their presence.
