That Next Place (Eulogy For (Lolo) Major Roberto Inigo 1916-2006)

There is a kingdom inside all of us, That follows us wherever we go, It was God that put us here, It is God that takes us back, We don’t know when, we don’t know how, Our beloved Lolo, will take our love and our memories along with him to heaven… There is a soul inside all of us, That tells us what to do, And tells us what to say, He filled us with passion, He filled us with purpose, Our beloved Lolo, has fulfilled God’s will, And blessed us as witnesses upon his farewell… As his time to return to heaven has come. Let us embrace his wisdom, through the time we shared with him in existence. For we did not only exist with him here; we survived, we lived, we cherished. In the days, across the seasons, beyond the years, and throughout this world, We shall be parallel with him defying time and space. For his very peaceful soul has given us the courage to see what others wish they could have seen, To notice what others wish they could of noticed, to grasp what others wished they could have grasped, And to conquer what others wish they could have conquered. The beginning of the journey, the middle of the story, the end and the history... Let us have just one long obedient commitment to Lolo... That we pledge we will use the gifts he passed onto us in serving of the Lord our God, Let us rejoice in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
