It's the beginning of a new year baby, Thanksgiving and Christmas was extremely difficult for me but everyone made sure the kids had a great Christmas. I'm finally getting my license on Febuary 6, 2011, I know your probably a little upset right now because we should of handled this before but I've got this baby. There's not a day that goes by that I don't either talk about you or think of you and the memories that we made together as well as the two beautiful children we made together. I'm still not sure what God's plan was when he took you but I'm dealing with it as best as I can. The only other thing that I have trouble with is the kids and how's this whole thing is effecting them and their minds. I'm scared but I'm strong too. We love and miss you dearly....R.I.P. Lisa, Jaylene, and Devon Ortega 2011
P.S. Even though you told me a different year when you were born and that fact that you didn't even know how to spell your own middle name, the things you told me is the way I know you so when I got the big tattoo on my back there are two things wrong but that's how I knew you.

Dear Lisa,
I know i never met him, but know he was a great husband and a loving father to his kids. For what ever reason he was taken away, I know he will be missed by all. Just do what is in heart, but never forget the good times you had with him. You have to be strong and be there for your kids, for i know they are always missing him as you are in your heart. I maybe a friend from school, but i am always there if you need me or someone to talk to. Take care lisa
