Our Mariposa

People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.



Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

Breaking Bread with Jaci's Family and Friends

After Jaci's memorial service, we wanted to spend more time with her wonderful family, but as it was a work day, we were unable to continue being with them right after the service. I suggested an impromptu dinner the upcoming weekend at my home. It was a potluck of Venezuelan, Texan, Puerto Rican, and Louisiana food. There was music, cooking, story telling, and most importantly a time to laugh and get to know the esteemed Prospert family, Ale (Jaci's fiancee), and the Negrons. This was one of the most beautiful nights of my life and a perfect way to honor Jaci.The Negrons: Luz, Melis and Negron children
