My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to all of Nini's loved ones, family, friends, and whoever else's lives were impacted by her. It's incredible how time goes by, dates are never forgotten and neither is Nini. She will always live in all of the people she loved and the ones that loved her. Your family is always in my prayers and not a day goes by that I don't think about Nini and the good times we had together.. and most importantly how she was always such a great friend to me :( God bless all of you

I want to thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, for nini, me and all the family. There is a big hole in my heart that will never heal as Nini was a big important part of my life. I will never be the same as part of my life has died. I was asking for prayers for a selfish miracle, but my miracle was not to be. But I can assure you that a big miracle happened that I personally witnessed, I will tell you sometime. As for Nini, she was my little angel that we all shared and enjoyed. Now she is God's Angel to protect us all. I know with her spirit, she is causing havock in heaven and loving it. I pray to see her one day and recieve me with open arms and a great big Nini hug. And she will say, "What Took You So Long, Daddy". I can't wait, but as I do have my other half of my heart in Catherine, I must wait to see my Nini. Again, Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. The entire family appreciate it. Felix Martin (Daddy)...by the way Nini has a permanent Memorial sight at

She brightened up my days and made me smile. I will always love her and I will always keep your family in my prayers. They say time heals all wounds and I pray that you are all blessed in so many different ways.

Love, Mari.

Dear Felix.
im really sorry for your loss. but there is something i've been dying to tell you. even though we met not to long ago at the hospital. im the one that you left that funny voicemail on my phone. ever since that day i noticed that your an amazing father. and i know nini is extremely proud of you. i never met my dad and i just hope that if i meet him one day, i want him to be just like you. your a positive thinker and your soo strong. and you carry this great vibe that puts me at ease. i've been wanting to tell you this since nini's viewing. but i never saw you. nini is never going to be forgotten and now she's gods angel looking down at us all.

I never met Nini or your family personally, but rather through my son, Ernie. Although, he has known you for a short time, he has always been very fond of all of you. As a parent my heart goes out to you all. Your family is constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God gives you the peace, acceptance and understanding to accept your loss. Definitely as many have said Carolynne had to be a very special person for God to take her so soon. My deepest condolences and you will always be in my prayers.

Lucy, family & friends, you have all been in my prayers since hearing that your beautiful "Nini" has gone to heaven. These are the times that our faith is most needed. In the good times we count our blessings, and in our most desperate times we pray for our hearts to stop breaking. Your angel is alive in you and in all her friends and in all her family. You have many people, that do not even know you, praying for peace to fill your hearts. Look towards Jesus Christ for comfort. HE is the reason why we have eternal life and why we all will be reunited in heaven. My family & I will continue to pray for you.

Heard about your loss on the news - I too have daughters, but cant even start to imagine the pain this has caused you, I pray God give you the power to turn to him for love and acceptance, our kids are with us only temporarily on earth and they return to God when they are called upon for his love and service. Rest asured that you did a great job with your baby girl, as she looks magnificent in her pictures, she looks happy and very much loved, so your mission in life was accomplished. Again, I pray that you will be able to accept God's will and that you live Nini's life through your happiness. Much Love, a stranger friend.

Dear Martin Family, I did not know you personally but I certainly know of you through Lourdez, Stephanie and Christian. There is no doubt that Nini was an angel here on earth and obviously needed in heaven. We don't know why things happen, and certainly we don't understand many, but we must believe that God knows best and we must accept. I pray for Nini, her sister, her parents, grandparents, family, friends and her school mates. We were all very fortunate for having such an individual among us. She will certainly be physically missed, but somehow, I think that we are all safer by having her watching over us. May God bless you and give you strength during this very difficult time and please know that you are never alone. With a very sad heart, may you be blessed!

Nini, we met you when you were 6years old, we shared many good times together with your parents and katherine, disney,keys and at the carridge club apts on the beach.
Ady and I had a lot of fun with you and your sister, you were always the pain in my butt. you were the one pulling all the pranks and jokes on me, but they were fun. who was to know a few years later Ady and I were to have two beautiful daugthers as well, you guys were like my daughters in trainning , and I learned so much from both of you girls. your dad Felix gave me some great pointers on teaching you girls what was important to him, I in turn have used them on my girls as well. We lost touch after you moved to Tennesse, but you were never forgotten, when I think of you I see this little skinny kid who could climb kitchen cabinets faster that a monkey! you were truely a riot to see. you will always be a part of our greatest memories, we love you very much and know you are in a better place. you have touched the lives of many people which proves you were always an angel!
