Destiny Perez

Our little angel, Destiny Rae Perez, 7, entered into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father the afternoon of Saturday, May 23, 2015, one day shy of her 8th birthday. The Good Lord must have been working on his heavenly garden this weekend, because he picked up the most beautiful flower and her name was Destiny Rae. She was blooming with the most vivid, extraordinary colors; and is now a part of God's beautiful bouquet. Brown eye beauty, wavy long hair you make the sun shine bright with your big smile, we love you baby girl for always since you came in our lives, you are our brown eye beauty with wavy long hair that we love; we love you always! The people in our lives are not given to us. God blesses us with their presence only momentarily. Long enough for us to be influenced and impacted by them. God has truly blessed me with my own little angel Destiny Rae. Even though her time on this earth was not long enough she still managed to shape me as a person for the rest of my life. With every smile and giggle that was always genuine and pure no matter the situation. She managed to be the shining light for everyone even the darkest of moments. She is and will forever be our princess angel Destiny Rae we love you forever and always. Destiny Rae is now among all the other little angels, smiling and laughing. She is running and playing in God's playground with grandpa Lopez, tia Toni, tia Yolanda, tio Danny, tio Emilio and tio Arturo watching her. Every now and then she stops and looks down on all of us to let us know that she is okay and for us not to cry for her, which we won't because we know that she is in a better place and one day we will join her in Heaven. Destiny Rae was an amazing angel that beat the odds and made herself strong and stayed with her loved ones for eight years. She will NEVER be forgotten and will ALWAYS BE LOVED. Rest In Peace Our Sweet Angel.
