Detective Juan is now ETERNALLY ON WATCH in Heaven with my son, Deputy Abella 4/21/04 where God needed him. To the family my thoughts and prayers are with you.

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
in life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.

We will never understand why you were taken from us so soon, but I guess St. Michael must of needed a little extra help. Who better to call upon than you my friend!

You will truly be missed, but never forgottten!
