Hi James,
I have been thinking about you and your dad a lot. I wish everyday that you both were with us here in Dallas. I miss seeing yor face and hearing your dad brag on you! He was/is so proud of you!
I will rise when He calls my name

Baby,
I thought about you all day yesterday on your 23rd birthday. Your dad called me to remind me that it was your birthday. No matter what, I will never forget your bd. It is snowing a bunch in Dallas, I remember when we used to play out in the snow, you and baby JJ. Your dad told me to tell you that at 23 you would probably be 6'4", and still playing football, soccer, and basket ball. We love you and pray to you daily.
Love you,
Your grandma, Virginia

Hey James,
Was just thinking about you as we often do. Tell Hunter that his mommy loves him and is thinking about him. Hope you, Mita, Grandpa, and Hunter are watching over everybody. We miss all of you guys so much. I know your birthday is coming up soon and I can not believe that you will be 23 years old. If you are getting older then that means I am getting older. HAHA!!! We love all of you in Heaven with your wings. Keep watching over us.
Love Always,

Dear Baby..
Just want to tell you that we all miss you a lot. Christmas, your birthday, graduation, we hurt the same.
Candace Hickey is getting married on March 2010. You were in her 15th Quinceanera in 2003. You had a lot of fun dancing at her party. I wish that you could be here with us to attend the big wedding at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. I know your dad does too.
You are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Love you Always,

Hi James...
Just wanted to let you know that memories flow through my mind a lot. It was really sad that you left us so rapidly and so young.... I have faith and am happy that my parents got to know you. I can just see you up there with them and Gene. I guess that also consoles me.
Our life passes by quickly; and I know I sincerely guilty of not keeping in touch with our family. I wish you would be here James. I know Ruben would've loved just the same. He is defenitly becoming a handsome young man just like you. He would've given you some great competition on one-on-one basketball. Ashley probably would've too. lol
Now that Mom and Dad have passed and are up there in heaven it takes a long time to heal. It has been several years since you've been up there and I can only imagine what the whole Oakcliff Clan has gone through. Especially ur Grandma Virginia. You are very fortunate and blessed to have been born to a fantastic family. Ruben, Ashley, and I are here also. We miss you Babe.
P.S. WATCH OVER US MIJO. XOXOXO
Always & Forever

Our family misses you a lot. I know you are in Paradise looking at us, especially me. Grandma takes me to CCD every Saturday so I can receive my First Holy Communion, as soon as I pass all my assignments. I know I can excell just like you did when you were a little boy. My Xmas was real good. I got two IPods. Still learning to use them. Little JJ is helping me. I will be eleven (11) years old my next birthday.

Dear James,
I realize that you do not know me but I am one of your father’s and aunts, many cousins. My name is Veronica Olivarez; I am Pablo and Connie Olivarez’s daughter. Pablo Olivarez happens to be one of your grandfathers’ (Check Olivarez) many nephews. I am sorry to hear that you had left our world at such a young age. After reading all of the wonderful messages that, your love ones had left you. I left feeling as though I know you. I am just sorry that we never got a chance to personally meet each other. I realize, I (we) maybe a little late in posting my (our) condolences to your family. However, after reading the beautiful poem your; Aunt Suzette Rodriguez, had written you and the incredible eulogy that; Ms Eleanor M Foster, had written about you. I felt, a need to leave you and your family a message.
From the family of Pablo and Connie Olivarez-
We send you and your family our deepest sympathy

DIDNT THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN TO

I CRIED MANY NIGHTS THINKING
HOW ITS NOT THE SAME
YOU WERE ONLY 16
AND YOUR LIFE JUST BEGINING
BUT THE NEXT DAY YOU TURNED
AROUND IT WAS ALL ENDING
NOW THE PAIN AND SUFFERING
IS ALL SAID AND DONE

Hi James. I was thinking that I have not written in your book in awhile. You are never forgotten. Everynight when me and the kids say our prayers, we always include you that you are at peace and that you watch over my baby Hunter. Please take care of him and tell him that I love him. You are a very special man. Gees I can not believe you would be 20 yrs old. How time flies. Well always remember that we love you always and forever.

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.

Mi hijo,
Today you would have been twenty (20) years old. I can't even begin to tell you how much we all miss you. Your brother and sisters think of you, their big brother, all the time. The kids are getting bigger and older everyday. Brittany loves to look at the picture album and all the arts and crafts from your Art Class. Brittany visits me every weekend. She and I go shopping just like you and I used to go especially for your birthday. Brittany is now eight (8) years old, she wishes you could help her with her math lessons and the computer like you used to help the other grandkids.
Mi hijo, we miss you more and more every day.
Your grandma love you,

Dearest James,
Just thinking of you today and realized I hadn't written in your book recently... Alot of things in my life have changed as you are probably are aware of...therefore; at times I'm rather busy. But today for some reason you crossed my mind. I saw you smiling at me as I remember you the last time I saw you before your accident... You were the happiest young man I'd seen that day... We miss you dearly. PaulAndrew and Christopher think of you and remember you teaching them how to play the games on the XBox... Alexis and Zoe mention you too saying 'What if...' When Anthony takes Christopher to race his bike... he remembers the times he took you... You live in our hearts.... Love you.

james.. still not a day goes by that we dont think about you.. i hope you saw me when i came to see you on your birthday.. i know i felt you there. i was talking to sasha today and she told me about this poem she had written awhile ago.. and she just so happened to come across it.. it made me cry.. here it is for you...
A Promise to James
The night had come to a gradual end
Our much awaited awards received
I would awake the following day
To hear the one thing no one believed
The morning grew nearer ominously,
The clock upon seven became affixed
The time itself had become abeyant
For what I heard had left me transfixed
"René slow down, I don't understand."
Saddening and fearful her voice did seem,
"James is in the hospital, please believe me"
I now hoped to awake from this awful dream
My heart had dropped for it was true
In critical condition he would be found
Until one day we were to meet again
A moment destined to be profound
I ran woefully to my parent's room
Tears freely falling from my eyes
I was too distraught to speak
That I continued with my cries
Not long after, I came to tell,
The words trapped within my mind
It was a bit too much to comprehend
But they tried their best to be so kind
Weeks then passed with great anticipation
Hopeful rumors spread about his revival
But the more we contemplated over it;
The more it impaired our hope in his survival
I missed a call while at school one day
A call that would never be returned
I would never know what he had to say
For it was a lesson later to be learned
Not all answers are to be told in life
Not even answers to the questions of love
He surely knew about his unfortunate fate,
Or that he would soon be in the heavens above.
I long to know what could have been,
Had James lived to see this day
He was but only sixteen years old
A reason to cause someone's dismay
I now live each day thankful for James
He taught me much of what I know now
To make each living day worthwhile
And to him I have dedicated this very vow
well.. thats it for now.. just know that we love you very much and still miss you more than ever!!
love your cousin,
candice

Hey James,
i'm sorry i haven't been able to write to you even though i've known for awhile that i had the opportunity to. I miss you and i hope you know that.

Hi James,
I just wanted to write to you and let you know that we had Jeanette’s fifteen celebrations on October 16th. We played a song for you in memory and it touched us all. I wished that you were there, but I know you were there in spirit. We had a good time everything turn out great. We missed you and your Daddy a lot. Jeanette is now getting ready to get her driving permit, and we always think of you when you first starting driving. Jeanette always feels that you were suppose to be here to guide her because she always knew you were going to experience it first and let her know what to expect. So please be by her side always.
Love you and miss you a lot,
Your Aunt

SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
We Love You, James!
Grandma

Hi James
I was just sitting here thinking about you and remember it has been awhile since I wrote in your book.
While I guess your grandpa has made it to meet you. I bet you and him are having a good time talking.
Will I just want to say hi and tell you grandpa hi too. Tell him we played his song Gato Nergo for him while we were going to the burial ground. You and your grandpa have left us with lots of memories and we miss ya'll alot.
Like always keep your Daddy close to you under your wing and keep him safe.
You are always in our thoughts
Love

Cousin Suzanna, Cousin Richard, Tia Virginia
In honor of his memory I wrote this short poem as an expression of love. With love and respect - Linda
A young man full of life,
Spirited away one tragic day,
Leaving families feeling sad,
He lived a life filled with love,
Angels watched him from above.
Always smiling,
Always sharing,
Taking time to be more caring,
Those who knew him share such memories,
Remaining close within their hearts,
Hearing the laughter of his joy,
As he runs to play once more.

Hey James, Hey Gene,
Its me Alyssa. Yesterday I decided to write you a poem from my heart, here it is:
Throwed Without You
I miss you
We miss you
We're throwed without you
My arms are empty
The sun is dark
Your is voice fading
We don't know what to do
What's in the past, is in the past
No one can't bring it back
Not even you
We remember your bright smile
We remember when you made us laugh
We'll never forget the good time we had with you
It's so hard to say good-bye
Why?
Why we ask
Why did you go?
A question no one can answer
A question we have to live with
Everyday that passes, is a day that I get closer to you
We'll take the memories with us to brighten up the dark sun
We'll remember you as our life passes us by
Soul, Mind and Heart will always be with you
And you will always be with us.
James,
Take care of your grandfather, Gene.
Love,
Alyssa Eguia
P.S. THROWED MEANS MESSED UP

Richard,
Just want to let you know that we are still here for you. Here is a poem I would like to share with you to let you know GOD is still with you.
There Are Angels
There are angels in the Heavens.
There are angels on the ground.
There are angels all around you,
Just waiting to be found.
So when you are feeling lonely
Or just a little blue,
Open your eyes to see the angels.
They are there, waiting for you.
They will wrap their wings around you,
To protect and guide you through
All the sad and tragic moments
That this life can throw at you.
They are sent to you from Heaven
From the Almighty Father above.
So remember to look for the angels.
They'll show you that GOD is LOVE.
I know that it is harder now knowing what is in front of you. Do not give up on God, continue to seek God. GOD will never give up on you or leave you.
Richard I love you and will keep you in my prayers. Hector and I will see you in June.
Love Always

HERE IS A POEM I FOUND THINKING OF YOU TODAY ON JAMES ANNIVERSARY DAY.
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says,
"Grieve not for me."
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the songs,
the good life I lived,
please do carry on.
Continue my heritage,
I'm counting on you...
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
my soul is at rest,
remember how truly
I had been blessed.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small,
go on with your life,
don't just stare at the wall.
I miss all of you dearly,
so keep up your chin...
until the day comes,
we're be
TOGETHER AGAIN
