Nani....It's me Beau it took alot strenth, thinking, time to write this. When you were in the hospital everyone visited you we were all woried, deppressed and sad I could not leave after you were gone life turned difficult. Little things like a candy box you gave to me made me cry. the day adam told me you were dying Iwent mad and broke down. I feel lonly because I dont have all the things you did for me no more like spoiling me or treating me like im 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 or doing whatever you feel like doing special to me, helping me and best of all loveing me to death. You may be gone but your spirit is with me but id rather have you. Nani I love you and miss you and I think God made a mistake on taking you but I know you will watch over me until I meet you one day in Heaven. I love you and miss you so much. from Andre love your Beau

For my Aunt Francis...
It hardly seems fair to be writing to you in this way after only being blessed by knowing you such a short time. The last two years of my life have been so very special, because I was given the gift of your family, through your niece. Over those years, I've come to discover that she is who she is largely because of your influence in her life. And as I got to know you at family bbqs and celebrations, I began to understand why she loves you so much. I was able to be spoiled by you, loved by you, 'mothered' by you when mine was too far away... Your cares and worries for our well-being were always welcomed and cherished. The hugs and kisses will always be remembered. I love you very much and I am so happy that I was able to be welcomed into your family and to be able to call you my aunt.
I miss you now, but I will see you again soon... when will spend our forever together in heaven... I love you.

Elizabeth, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when you use to talk to me about your tremendous amount of faith in Guardian Angels, well...now your mom is your guardian angel. I know it's hard to believe, but eventually the tears will become less and less and once again, you will smile again. Especially when you think of all the good times you had together. I'm sure it hurts her to see you hurt so much, but you have to believe that she is in a better place, and one day, you will be there too with her. With God's help, you will regain your strength and understand why God called her home. In case you haven't figured it out yet, this is your pesty coworker from Republic Western, Diane :) I hope my words will bring you some kind of comfort. Take care, and remember, mommy would be upset to see you hurt so much especially when she only wants happiness for you :)

You were so full of life and everything you did you did it with a smile(a very bright smile!). I will miss you so much. Its going to be diffrent not hearing your voice tell me how big and handsome me and my brothers are. You truly were an angel and now you have your wings. I love tia Frances. Take care of us and watch over my baby.

No one has ever made me feel more proud to be apart of my family than you have. From the very begining you have inspired me to be a better person and to always have pride in those around me. You are remembered by all that know you and though our relationship was brief, it will always be special because you were always there to make me feel important and I am the better for knowing you. I can only hope that I was able to reflect the same love and light unto you.
It is with all our love that we send you home and rejoyce in the hope of seeing you again.
Love always, Jennifer Brady-Lujan

My beautiful, beautiful Mommy...The words....I don't know what words to say as I never thought I would have to write to you in this manner so soon. Mommy, I miss you so much that it hurts. When people look at me and say "Your mom is in a better place now" I frown silently at them because the better place for you is right here next to me where I can talk to you, love you, kiss you and hug you all the time. When people also say that I look so much like you my face beams with such immense pride because there is no one in this world that I would rather look like than you and it also makes me feel so close to you. I just can't swallow the fact that you are away forever. I wish that I could turn back the hands of time and make it that you are here with me again. My life will never be the same without you, my beautiful mommy! As I look back in time you were truly the "wind beneath my wings" that carried me through all my rough times in my life. Every night I pray to you that you visit me in my dreams or in a vision just so that I can be close to you again. If I am looked at as being selfish for wanting all of these things than that is what I am and please forgive me. I ask God 24 hours a day to give me the strength to accept that you are gone but I know that you will be watching over me from up above. Please Mommy always be my Guardian Angel. I love you Mommy so much forever and ever and I know that we will fly together one day soon. Heaven has definitely gained a beautiful angel!!! Your loving daughter who misses you very much......I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!......
