Ramon, you gave it all for your country. You will never be forgotten; your name goes down in history as one who gave his life for his country. I truly wish I could hug you and see your smiling face. Over all these years that have passed I have thought of you often and wanted to hug you. I miss you very much, but know you are with our Heavenly Creator, God. Again, thank you for your service and giving your physical life for others. Spiritually, I will see you when God says its time. I love you. Titi Vickey

Many years have gone by, but you have not been forgotten. In my mind you are that young boy running around grandmas backyard with your cousins. You are the young man enlisted in the marines, ready to to fight for our country. You gave all to the people of the United States of America. We your earthly family miss you very much and think of what could have been.. Yet all honor and glory we continue to give to Our God in heaven who knows all,and sees all. Perhaps He needed you in heaven to continue to fight here on earth in a different realm; the spiritual world which is around us. You are loved and missed on a daily basis. We miss you. Do Gods work.

Hey big cousin , this very moment it's November 18th 2015 2:54am and you popped into my head I just started thinking about you and how much I miss you . I remember the very last time I saw you Sonia and glen were having a pool party in the backyard and I got out of the pool to go get a hotdog & and for some reason I remember you chasing me around the pool trying to hug me but I kept telling you I was soaked but you didn't care . That day was all smiles and laughter I miss you soo so much words can't even begin to explain how I feel . You'll always be family a big cousin at that . I love you and can't wait till we meet again .

It's been 11 years 1 month and 11days, and I remember the day like it was yesterday. The day we found out we lost you was 1 of the worst days of my life. I lost my brother, my friend and mentor. I looked up to you. You were so full of life, happiness and strength. Losing you was like losing my heart. I hurt for so long to try and understand why you were taken from us so soon. But, I understand now. I miss you, I love you bro. Thank you for always being there for me when I need you most with out your guidance I wouldn't know what to do.

The young are taken way to early,
Heavens gate awaits their arrival
Born anew their spirit rises
Our Lord has called them home.
Precious angels theyv'e become
called to watch those left behind.
Helping soothe those broken down,
A special dream,a gentle breeze,a certain aroma arrives.
Our beloved nephew, unseen, but surely present in our mind,heart and soul.
Then just as quickly, he is gone.
Love and kisses Titi Vickey

DIOS TE BENDIGA MIJO.TODAY AM SITTING ON MY SOFA THINKING THAT NEXT MONTH IT WILL BE 5 YEARS THAT U WENT TO HEAVEN; AND TODAY IS FOUR MONTHS THAT U COUSIN DARWIN ALSO WENT TO HEAVEN. I KNOW THAT U STILL WATCHING OVER ALL OF US. I STILL CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GOD TOOKED U GUYS AND OTHERS THAT GAVE THEIR HEARTH, LIFE AND PROUD TO HELP OTHERS IN IRAK.I DON'T HAVE AND WILL NEVER HAVE A ANSWER FOR THAT BUT I DO KNOW THAT GOD GAVE U ALL TO US FOR A TIME AND WE HAVE ENJOYED U ALL. HAVE U WITH UR SMILE AND PROUD OF BEEN A MARINE. I REMENBER WHEN U WAS LEAVING TO BECOME A MARINE WE WENT TO SAY GOOD LUCK AT U MOM 'S HOUSE IN BRENTWOOD; I ASKED U ARE U OK? AND U TOLD ME I FEEL BUTTERFLIES ON MY STOMACK. I TOLD U THAT U WILL BE OK; IT IS NORMAL THAT U FEEL LIKE THAT. WE WERE THERE WITH U THAT IMPORTANT DAY OF UR LIFE. I REMEMBER JUST LIKE A MOVIE. I MISS U AND LOVE ALOT. TU TITI WINDY

Dios te bengiga mijo. Today I was looking at Darwin's and your pictures.The pictures you both gave me with proud. You know what? One day before you went to heaven Darwin told me that yoy both shared some time in Iraq and had a good time you both planned to get together again but that never ocurred again you went with God. Both of you have shared being USA MARINES; fighted to give freedom for those people in Iraq,shared the same family;and now five years after you have left you both are sharing the same place to lay and the same place next to God THE HEAVEN. My hearth is deeply broken for the loss of my dearest nephews. God Bless you, I miss you. Love u

Ramon, As I sit here and think of you, I again ask myself why? It's been several years and that question has never been answered.But, I believe that God has his plan for each of us, for we are but a small particle in the vast plan called life. One person could touch hundreds of thousands, and I believe this was part of God's plan for you. You touched millions on the day you died. Perhaps, the millions of innocent people, women and children in Iraq who would have suffered had this day not come to pass. At, home you touched another million people who to this day and in the future will think of you and just maybe will do something to help their fellow man in your honor. To give your life, as Christ has done for another human being, is not something anyone can do, but a true soul of Christ who is worthy to stand at His side. May God, our loving creator, always keep you at his side, give peace and comfort to all who love you. Love you always, Titi Vickey

Just remembering playing one-on-one basketball at the Motor T Bay in Iraq. That cross-over was pretty good. I had never been to New York, but always wanted to of course, at least once. You offered to show me around and introduce me to your friends and family when our tour was done, you made me feel welcomed, I'll never forget that. I had the opportunity in November 2007, and you're right, it is definitely a sight to see and an experience. Thanks man, you inspired me to fulfill one more goal out of a hundred plus, here's to you Mateo~

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Ramon, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

My heart goes out to you. I had to sign this book after reading that beautiful story about him coming home not so long ago. God works in mysterious ways and it is not for us to know. At least not for now. May God bless you and your loved ones, as well as everyone who has lost one of our nation's heroes. It is a painful price to pay.

I read about Ramon on another site where so many of his battle buddies had written such heart wrenching remembrances of him. I am so sorry for your loss. There is no doubt that he is watching over you all. He surely was loved and is missed. My deepest sympathy-
August 7, 2007
I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Ray, As I sit here with tears in my eyes I remember your precious smile. I never told you, but that's what I loved most about your face, was that beautiful smile! Each time I think of you that is what I see- A happy smiling face. Ray we all miss you soo much. It's just so hard to really believe you are not physically with us anymore. I know spirtually you surround all of us. During this most Holy season, I just want to wish you a Merry and Joyous holiday as you sit with our heavenly creator. God knows the angel he has by his side. All my love today and always. I will always have you in my heart.

Ramon,
What's good man? I know you are doing fine, because you are high above watching over all of us, just as you were when you were here with us. I just wanna say thank you, since I never had the chance to do it when you use to be around. You were one of the few dudes who never look down on people. You were a good friend and a good football player. Thank you, for being such an inspiration, I will never forget about you. Don't worry we will all be together again and it will be a glorious day.
ONE LOVE

Family its wrong...just wrong....God took you away. You are always in my mind..prayers...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Ray, I heard this song it reminded me of you. The song tells everyone who is left behind that God has called you to a better place because he had a special job for you to do. It tells us not to fear death, but to rejoyce because you are waiting with open arms for us in a place where there is no death, tears, fear, pain or illness. Everytime I hear that song I know God is with you and you are truly in heaven. I miss you and know that one day the Family will be together again. You are Never forgotten.Titi Vickey
