Bryce's legacy
Bryce Christian Herrera born on Christmas Day 1991 was a special treasured gift from the Lord to Fred and Martha Ann Herrera. We are grateful the Lord loaned him to us for 14 ½ years until He took him home on September 28, 2006. He is survived by his four loving brothers Drake 16, Troy 13, Reid 11 and Grant 9, his grandparents Pete and Evelyn Dutka and pre-deceased by Fidel and Elida Herrera and many close family members and friends. Bryce was a talented athlete and knew how to make people laugh and feel loved. Words can not express the joy and peace we have knowing he is in the presence of our precious Savior.
We will remember Bryce not how he died but how he lived.
My Son Lives in Paradise
The dust has settled on the things
That I have stored away
A favorite toy, for little boy
A jar of dried out clay.
A photograph when you were young
Sits quietly on the shelf
Thoughts of you come drifting back
I just can’t help myself.
A drawing that you made for me
When you were very small
Is framed within this heart of mine
And hangs upon the wall.
A scrapbook lies within the room
Where you once laid your head
Your favorite book, a model car
The pillow on your bed.
I miss you coming in from school
“Hey mom, it’s me, I’m home”
I miss the little words and hugs
The special times we’ve known.
A part of me just disappeared
The day you went away
An empty space now fills my heart
There are no words to say.
A closet filled with memories
Of happy days gone by
A baseball cap and souvenir
Why did you have to die?
The trophies that you won at school
Stand proudly on display
Your many friends can’t understand
Why God called you away.
I hear your voice within the halls
It echoes in the night
I see you in the evening mist
And in the morning light.
So many things you left behind
Are now a memory
But little arms that held me tight
Will always stay with me.
An empty space now fills my heart
My boy, my child, my son
You’ve gone into another world
Where golden dreams are spun.
I do not know the answers
It‘s not for me to know
But I will know the truth one day
Just why you had to go.
My turn will come to leave this world
I’ll gaze into your eyes
God’s perfect plan will be revealed
Up there in paradise.
