Ed Santini Obituary

I miss you

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Santini Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Ed Santini US Army Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

To the family of Sgt. Ed Santini:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

Santini will always and forever be remembered. The time we spend overseas and the friendships that was made will never be taken away. RIP.

Another year has passed, remembering the loss of a great Soldier. To those who did not know him, their loss. For many that did know him, knew a great person. Truly he is missed by family and friends.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Santini!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

To the family of Santini,
He was a great soldier and he will be greatly missed.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

TO THE FAMILY OF SGT. SANTINI,
MY GREATEST AND DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. HE WAS A TRUE SOLDIER, AND TRUE BORICUA. MAY HIS MEMORIES NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

As the mother of a son (my only child) who is enlisted in the Army, and as a resident of El Paso; I want to send my condolences.

My thoughts an prayers go out to Sgt Santini and his family, you will be greatly missed. You always rose the spirits in the motorpool.

I SALUTE SGT. SANTINI FOR HIS SERVICE IN THE ARMY AND THE 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION IN IRAQ. I UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICE THAT HE HAD TO MAKE TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY. I DON'T KNOW HIM BUT I FELT THAT I HAD TO LET HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE HIS SERVICE. ON JANUARY 22 OF THIS YEAR WE LOST MY SON-IN-LAW IN IRAQ TO AN IED. NICK WAS IN 2/7 CAV AND WAS DOING A JOB THAT HE LOVED AND FELT THAT ONLY HE COULD DO. HE WAS NOT CONTENT TO LET OTHER MEN PROTECT US WHEN HE COULD DO IT HIMSELF. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I PRAY FOR YOU AND CRY WITH YOU DURING THESE HARD TIMES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF YOUR HERO.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Sgt. Santini was an excellent human being and a great soldier. may the good lord be with you and help ease your grief in this time of loss.

It is with the deep sadness that I ask Ed's family and friends to accept the offer of my most sincere and heart felt condolences. I hope that you know that your loss is shared and mourned by millions of Americans. Most of whom you don’t know and in all probability will never meet. We sincerely appreciate the sacrifices made by your patriot.

Freedom is not free; it is paid for by our heroes, and for those who fight for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know! This soldier made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

I know the pain parents feel when they loose a child. I lost a son 19 years ago. It is a pain that defies description. It is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that will never end. It is a pain that is all consuming.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless and keep you today, tomorrow and forever!

Rest in Peace brave soldier; you did your duty with great honor, dedication, distinction and in the highest traditions of our great country.

Semper Fidelis

Mis condolencias a los familiares y amigos de El Sgt. Santini. Les expreso mis condolencias porque yo se lo que es perder a una persona querida en el terreno de batalla ya hacen 6 mese que mi querido amigo y hermano murio el era el Cpl. Yull Estrada de Lajas PR y ese dolor es insuperable.
CUIDENSEN MUCHO Y MIS MAS SINCERAS CONDOLENCIAS A TODOS EN ESPECIAL A SU SEñORA ESPOSA Y ATODOS SUS FAMILIARES.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
