Marcus Anthony "Antone" Ortiz

We are all missing you. Our memories of you have never faded. We cannot wait to see you smiling again!

Antone you have been on my mind a lot lately, I can't believe it's been a year!! I wish I could hear that laugh and see your smile just one more time. It's funny Larry still calls me Jennifer and I can remember when we were kids every time he would say "Hello Jennifer" you would just start laughing. Larry, Mitzi and Ali I love you guys and promise I will come by soon!!

Mitzi, I remember you saying that you wanted stories in this too, so I wanted to bring up one I did not want to forget. Remember, when me & Antone were about 12, & you moms were taking us to Pine Cove in our old van. We were in the back making faces at other cars, & Antone thought it would be funny to stick his gum up his nose & let it dangle. At that time I think it was Extra gum; which was very sticky, & he could not get it out. Still makes me laugh when I think about it. Hope all is...

My heart is broken. I miss you so much. Our babies pray everyday that we will all meet again someday. My pain is indescribable. You were my best friend, husband and father to my children. I would never trade that for anything in the world. Nineteen years of fun and love. Only through Christ, with his strength I will grieve and and be at peace.
