La tristeza es inmensa cuando un ser querido se duerme en la muerte. Pero gracias a la esperanza que Jehova Dios nos da, de volverlos a ver en un futuro muy cercano, nos llena de alegria. Jesucristo lo dijo en Juan 5: 28 y 29. Familia Martinez. Sentimos mucho su perdida y esperamos que estas palabras de Jesus les fortalezcan.

My fondest memory of Mike is he and I going to a Kings game in Dec. 09. We listened to hip hop and R&B all the way to and from the game. He new more songs on the radio than I did. So we dove and sang Rihanna. I love and miss you Mike.

Derek, I am so sorry for your loss. Your parents were so proud of you. I enjoyed knowing them "long distance". I know you will keep them in your memories forever and ever. Take care of yourself.
