Today... I am thinking of my friend Victor. He was so young and left behind an amazing little boy and a beautiful, loving, strong and courageous wife. I've learned a lot from this tragedy and these people. From Vic I’ve learned that time is presious and I need to treasure every single moment. I need to tell the people I love, that I love them. From Georginette I’ve learned what being a strong woman really is and what it means to love someone unconditionally. And from Daniel I’ve learned that kids are so smart, they follow they’re hearts and are niave in all the ways that children should be.
Tomorrow marks the 1st anniversary of Vic's passing but I remember it like it was yesterday. When I think of him I still find it hard to believe that he's gone. I think that any day now an email or call will come. I still get that sinking feeling inside like I had when I first heard. The only difference is that when I talk about Vic now, I don't cry... I smile. I remember all the great times we had, our crazy last minute road trips, water fights in hotel rooms, hacky sackin’ in cars, listening to old songs, all the group dinners (Swiss Chalet? OK!!), car cleanings and laughing so hard that I'd cry.
I miss him.
Georginette and Daniel... Alvin and I can't be in Seattle this weekend to celebrate Victor's life with you but our thoughts and prayers will be with you on this day, as they always are.

God is good, all of the time. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.
Remember the good times. Remember the fun times. Keep those feelings close to your heart.
Rejoice in knowing your loving husband is in the Kingdom of Heaven and he is smiling down on you.
Rejoice with Daniel the time you have left with him. Make sure he knows he is loved.
Ask for help and guidance when you need it.
Do the best you can with what you have, don’t bite off more than you can swallow.
Let Daniel know God, teach him the meaning of prayer, let the Lord help your son.
Let Daniel explore his creative side (even if it becomes messy).
Remember that you, Georginette, are a strong, beautiful, loving woman of God.

Having Victor is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have learned so many things from the way you lived your life. You made everything easier for me as you always took care of us. I thank you for that.....I wish that I was given enough time to show you and to tell you how I love you and how important you are to me.
Please do take care of yourself.....Wherever you are...I will be around to hold your hand.
I love you so much and I will take care of Daniel for you. I promise.

Georginette, you and Victor have taught me the beauty of being close to God - in words and actions.
Victor in his quiet ways taught us the gentle ways of living a Christian life. I will never forget the joy he brought to Mamita when your family would come up from Seattle to visit. He never forgets anyone.
In his quiet ways, he will always be with us. I will continue to pray for God's Blessings, for him and for all of us whom he'd left behind.

What a beautiful person Victor was. His quiet ways, his smiley face, his devotion to his family will always be remembered. I will look forward to watching Daniel grow up because I know I will see Victor in his ways, in his smiley face and in his love for his Dad, though he is no longer with him, and for his Mom. Our dear Georginette, our Heavenly Father has blessed you with a personal angel. Truly. Victor is now a more permanent part of your life. Ask him to intercede for you in all your times of need. We will continue to include Victor, you and Daniel in our prayers.
Much love and remember that we are just a phone call away.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Yesterday was your birthday, and while I was having that Chinese dinner, I remembered how you loved to eat that meal and now I will never get to enjoy it with you. Missed you lots. You were great company when you came to visit. Miss you too, Georginette & Daniel.

Maintaining social & family ties is a sign of good coping on Victor's death & birthday anniversaries which also answers: Where do I want to be? and Whom do I want to be with? on such dates to keep your anxiety within tolerable limits.

Our (Rose & I) prayers and thoughts are with you & Daniel for Victor & God's sake.

I thank you in advance for submitting your memories of my beloved husband Victor Monroy Cleofe. Victor was a good husband. He loved me unconditionally and gave me the best life I can ever imagine. I could not ask for more. He was my best friend. As a father, he was an epitome of a good and passionate father. He gave his whole heart to his son Daniel. Daniel was his whole world and same thing with Daniel. ( I will add more pictures in my next visit to this site.) Both Daniel and I will surely miss him. It has been different not having him around. Today is my baby's( as I called him) birthday. Baby, Happy Birthday! I am sure, you celebrated your birthday along with God and the angels.
Daniel and I miss you so much, though we may not see you anymore, but you will always be in our hearts and I promise to raise Daniel (with your guidance) to be the man that you want him to be, a man full of compassion to the poorest of the poor, a man with simple needs and will live simple life but very content and happy, a man with love and passion for hockey, a man that will always love and remember you and of course a man of God.
I will always love you as you have loved me till your last breath.
It has been difficult not to be able to see you, touch you and hug you but I know that we will be reunited again.
Thank you for the amazing 9 years. Those memories will always be with me.
I miss you and will love you for always.

Baby
