In loving memory of

Julio Quesada

December 5, 1945 – April 10, 2006
Lived 60 years
Alpine, TX
God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put His arms around you And whispered ‘Come with Me.’ With tearful eyes We watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best.
In service to country

Thank you for your service

Julio served in the armed forces. We honor that service here.
