The ceremony on Friday was absolutely beautiful. As I stood listening to the priest deliver Alex to the Lord, I watched your family. The bond and the love that you all share is visible and so strong that it is almost tangible. I truly believe that Alex is dancing with the Angels right now. Someday you all will join him in a sweet reunion. Until then, keep God in your hearts. He will keep you strong and help you heal.

I seen this beautiful poem and thought I would send it. My deepest condolences for your loss. My heart aches for you.



My mom is a survivor, Or so I've heard it said.

But I can hear her crying when all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.

She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.

But like the sands upon the beach

That never wash away...

I watch over my surviving mom,

Who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.

But through heaven's open door

I see tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with my death,

To keep my memory alive.

But anyone who knows her

Knows it's her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom

Through heaven's open door...

I try to tell her angels protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her

Or ease the burden she bears.

So if you get a chance, talk to her

And show her that you care.

For no matter what she says; no matter what she feels.

My surviving mom has a broken heart

That time won't ever heal.

Marlo,

Our deepest sympathies for you and your family. I know there are no words to describe what you are going through and nothing can be compared to the loss of a child, but if you or Frank ever need anything please let us know. We'll be there for whatever you need. You know that you are one of those friends that are very rare to find and I am pretty sure that Alex was very aware of what a loving and caring mother you were to him. Now he is another star in the sky and he will be in our hearts. We love you and we will always remember Alex, especially since Jeff and I always thought that if we ever had a baby he would look just like him. Alex will always be in our prayers...

On May 31, 2005 my life was blessed with a new friendship. I became Marlo's "sidekick" and close co-worker. In this time I haved learned that Marlo is a strong, sensitive and loving woman and mother. I truly cherish the day she was brought into my life. She has impacted me in ways she will never know. I can not imagine what Marlo and her family are going through, but I can pray. I pray for strength, wisdom, and peace for the Martinez family. My love and support will always be here for you.

I am writing this from the bottom of my heart your son is precious. His spirit and memory will stay with you and your family forever. Take care Marlo and God bless him.

Dear Marlo, Frank and Family, How do you express your sorrow in the loss of one so young. Our hearts go out to you in this time of immense pain that you must be going through. Time will heal the raw pain, but surely this little one will forever be missed. The hope of Glory we have, is that someday we shall be reunited and we pray that hope will see you though. May Jesus hold you and comfort you when the tears come. May he give beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning and peace for despair. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Remember God is there in your midst. Our sincere sympathies.

When You feel Lonely

When a person you love passes away

Look to the night sky on a clear day.

The star that to you, appears to be bright,

Will be your loved one,

Looking upon you during the night.

The lights of heaven are what shows through

As your loved one watches all that you do.

When you feel lonely for the one that you love,

Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

Paul Tapia
