O' GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence

Grandson Nana misses you and always will love you I watch you come into the world and I was there to lay you down. I love Zayzito. To the Fisher thank you for all you said regarding my grandchildrens, i wish you all would have meet Isaiah and watch him grow but he knew of his dad and brothers and sisters, he did meet Herbert and that was fun to watch he was shy around him, but at least he got to meet his one of his uncle thank you Herbert that was God great timing,When i spoke to tyrone he was sad and stated that he was just talking about the kids to a friend about the children having biblical name he was happy to say that, Tyrone knew Isaiah is in Gods hand and he will miss him, I respect that and the children were told that he loves them, The Martinez family like to express our deepest condolence to Tyrone Fisher of the passing of Isaiah,May God continue giving us comfort in this sad time of Isaiah Martinez.
