Julian Andres Martinez

It´s been 15 years. How can that be? It feels like just yesterday. I am Gabrielle´s bff, Laotong. I was with her during her pregnancy and birth and life of Julian. And my beloved Adrian. The morning of June 29, 2009 changed my life forever. I was mad at Gabrielle that she was playing a seriously mean joke. There was NO WAY this could´ve happened. No way. Then I realized no mother would ever joke about something like that. I don´t remember driving up to Santa Fe after that phone call. I...

Gabrielle,

I don't know if you will remember us, but this is Nancy and Lane Cox. Julian and Lane went to Bandelier together and Lane spent the night at your house. I didn't realize that this was the Julian we knew until I saw you on TV. We are both so sad about your loss. May God be with you and your family.

My girls, Kallie and JulliAnn Johnson, along with their friend Ashley Boserman were sadden to hear that Julian was called to Heaven so soon. I know ALL of Staunton young teens who knew Julian was in mouning. We take comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord and look forward to seeing him in Heaven.

I cannot imagine the pain his family is going through. No words can comfort you in this time of sorrow but know, I lift this family up to the Lord so He may comfort you during this...

Gabrielle-In times like these, words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts.

Julian,

I didn't know you but I know your dad Geraldo and brother Enrique. The news of what happened to you and your friends hit hard every where and we are so saddened that you were taken at such a very young age. You were such of a handsom young man you looked just like your dad. Rest in peace sweet boy. You have obviously left a great impression on earth.
