Colleen leaves to mourn his 7 adoring children: Claudia Moton, Susana Moton-Sims, Ricardo Moton, Marcos Moton, Rosalia Moton-Chavez, Jeanine Moton & Myron Moton. He will also be missed and remembered by over 7 grandchildren and many extended family and friends.
Daddy... We will miss you every day and carry you in our hearts for always. In your own way you taught us all to be strong and confident. You taught us to treat others fairly and to be proud of who we are. Now that you are no longer with us in this lifetime we will always remember the wise words you were able to share with us while you were here. We will love you forever. Your family 7
Are You There? Are you there? Yes I am Here. But Lord, How can you be here and there at the same time? The same way that I am in your day, the very same way that I am in your night.
