In Loving Memory of Enrique Castillo Barajas

** a continuación para la traducción al español**

 

Unexpectedly on June 12, 2022, the Castillo family lost Enrique Castillo Barajas. He is resting in peace after exemplifying years of strength in adjusting to his new life of pain after a work accident.

 

Enrique was a loving and caring man who always put his family first and devoted his life to ensuring that his daughters and their families were taken care of. He is survived by the people who meant most to him: wife, Maria Castillo; daughters, Maria Elena, Sonia, and Erika; and grandchildren, Valerie, Ariel, Romeo, Miguel Angel, and Yandel.

 

Enrique’s wish was for him to go back to Mexico one last time and to rest in peace with his mom and dad. All donations will support the family directly in expenses for Enrique, a funeral service here, transportation for him and the family, and a funeral service in Mexico for Enrique’s family who are unable to travel to Washington.

 

During this most difficult time, the Castillo family is most appreciative of the support and prayers from everyone during their time of need.

Inesperadamente el 12 de junio de 2022, la familia Castillo perdió a Enrique Castillo Barajas. Está descansando en paz después de ejemplificar años de fuerza ajustándose a su nueva vida de dolor después de un accidente de trabajo. Era un hombre amoroso y cariñoso que siempre puso a su familia primero y dedicó su vida a asegurarse de que sus hijas estuvieran bien. Le sobreviven las personas que más significaron para él: su esposa, María Castillo; hijas, María Elena, Sonia y Erika; y nietos, Valerie, Ariel, Romeo, Miguel Ángel y Yandel.

 

El deseo de Enrique era que regresara a Mexico por una última vez y descansara en paz con su mamá y su papá. Todas las donaciones apoyarán a la familia directamente en los gastos de Enrique, un servicio funerario aquí, transporte para él y la familia, y un servicio funerario en México para la familia de Enrique que no puede viajar a Washington. Durante este momento tan difícil, la familia Castillo aprecia más el apoyo y las oraciones de todos durante su tiempo de necesidad.

*****

God looked around his garden and
found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest
God's Garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering;
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road is getting rough and
the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids and
whispered 'Peace be Thine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day
God called you home.
