“If Roses Grow in Heaven” by Dolores M. Garcia

If roses grown in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother’s arms And tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Dalia Zambrano, 64, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away Monday July 14, date, 2025.

She was born March 16, 1961, to Valentin Zambrano and Dalia Gonzalez in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Dalia was a hardworking, generous woman with a big heart. She was always looking out for others, and her life was marked by her entrepreneurial spirit and deep love for her family.

Above all, Dalia loved to dance, music brought her joy, and she carried that rhythm in her soul. Her love for dancing was a reflection of her joyful spirit and her zest for life.

She also enjoyed sewing, meaningful conversations, and giving to those in need —always thinking of ways to serve others. She had a special talent in the kitchen and was a truly wonderful cook —her arepas were, without a doubt, the best. Preparing food for her loved ones was one of her favorite ways to show affection. She loved dressing up, spending time with her family, and most of all, being with her grandchildren, whom she adored.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Nolberto Sebrian; daughters, Evelina Sebrian Zambrano and Nordailin Sebrian Zambrano.

Survivors include her daughters, Noryuslin (Omer Belarde) Sebrian Zambrano, Noryu Sebrian Zambrano (Orleyn Clavel), Zikiu (Omer Lizardo) Sebrian Zambrano; hijos, Gabriel Sebrian Zambrano y Norwin Sebrian Zambrano; grandchildren, Brian Ballestas, Braidelin Acosta, Anthonella Ballestero, Brenney Belarde, Ker Belarde, Matias Belarde, Santiago Lizardo, Kendrick Zambrano, Gabriela Zambrano and Paula Zambrano.

Frank Maurice Martin, 83, of Platte City, Missouri, passed away peacefully at home on July 12, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Frank was a man full of personality, warmth, and charm. He never met a cup of coffee he didn’t like and had a unique gift for telling the truth in seven different ways. A natural storyteller, his tales were colorful—some true, some “enhanced”—but always memorable. His laughter and wit brought joy to everyone around him. A lifelong fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, Frank had a passion for sports and loved spending his time on the golf course, watching NASCAR, bowling, or simply relaxing in front of the TV. He often asked when we were going dancing again—even if it had been years since he'd last hit the floor—reminding us of his youthful spirit and love for life. Frank was a member of Manchaca UMC while living in Buda, TX and then a member of Edmonds United Methodist Church in Washington before returning to Missouri. Faith, family, and humor were cornerstones of his life. Born on April 4, 1942, in Kansas City, Missouri, Frank was the son of Johnnie F. Bullock of Arkansas. He married the love of his life, Marie M. Martin, on September 27, 2002. Together, they built a beautiful, blended family of seven children.

Frank is lovingly survived by his wife, Marie Martin; his brother, Buster (Kathy) Heitman; and sister-in-law, Cindy Heitman. He leaves behind his children: Jon (Lori) Martin, Steve Martin, Michael Hastings (Chris Alexander), Patricia Martin, Kerry Gress, Michelle (Chase) Crocker, and Melissa (Keith) Barclay. His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Adam, David, Blake, Megan, Hollie, Joseph, Sierra, Ari, Evan, and Holden; as well as nine great-grandchildren and many cherished nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Johnnie Heitman, and his brother, Fred Heitman. Frank's life was filled with laughter, love, and an unwavering devotion to those he held dear. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of all who knew him.

A visitation is set for Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 10-11am at the Rollins funeral Home, Platte City, Missouri with services to follow at 11am. Burial will be at a later date. We will be celebrating Frank after the service at the YMCA, located at 3101 Running Horse Rd, Platte City, MO. Lunch will be provided. Arrangements By: Rollins Funeral Home—Platte City, MO—Ph. 816.858.2129.
