You might wonder who Blanca Estella Rojas Sifuentes is - well she is my sister. My sister was born on July 3, 1953 and died on April 14, 1960. She was buried at Our Lady of Victory Cemetery in Beeville, Texas.
Unfortunately, we don't have any photos of my sister but she lives in my memory and heart.
I wanted to honor her and the only way I felt I could do so was to create a marker for her. My parents were never financially able to do so. I made it a goal of mine to make that dream possible.
Well, I did it and my siblings and my husband played an important role in helping me see it through. I could not have done it without their help. As a family we are all unique and I know had my sister lived she would have been unique as well.
Here is a poem I wrote for my sister:
You came to us on angel's wings
Landing softly in our mother's arms
We fell in love with you
but unbeknownst to us God sent you with a secret
and you kept it very well
Secretly unfolding it and knowing when it
was time
You left on the angel's wings that brought
to this earth
Our faith helped us accept your parting for we know
you are waiting on the other side...patiently
Until we meet again, you will continue to live in our
hearts. You have not been forgotten.
Love you,
Josie
