Don’t cry at my grave ’cause I won’t be there
I’ll be in the breeze that ruffles your hair
I’ll be in sunshine, I’ll be in the snow
I’ll be in places where we used to go
I’ll be in your laughter and in funny things
I’ll be in your shadow and there in your dreams
I’ll be in your greeting but not your good-byes
I’ll be in the reflection of your loving eyes
I’ll always be with you and I’ll always care
so, don’t cry at my grave ’cause I wont be there.

I am praying for the Zayas family. I have enjoyed hearing stories of Pablo through his daughter, Ruthie. I know she loved him so. May the good Lord surround you with peace and comfort in all the days ahead, and may the memories of this sweet man last you a lifetime.
