Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you Sgt. Martinez. You pushed me to excellence. Thank you.

Memorial Day is upon us. I hope you and Jillian are partying hearty in Heaven. I think of you often. Wish I had got to know Chance, the man, as I knew Chance, the boy. You really were part of our family. Sending love.

Here it is 2021. It is hard to believe that it has been 14 years since you were taken. I hold you and your family in my prayers often. I hope and believe that you were there when your mother joined you in heaven. Take care of her, she missed you so. You and your family are always in my prayers.

My Son Shine and MaMa,s baby. There is a oil painting of you displayed in our home. No matter where I am in the room or just passing through your brown eyes seem to follow me and give me a sense of direction and peace. I love you and know one day you will stretch your arms around me again and we will be together.
