Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Victor it has been a long year. I miss you and love you so much and think about you everyday. Take care of Serenity up there she is a wonderful woman and I do think about her and how it is so sad for her to be taken from her boys. I love you always...xoxox

Angie (your Aunt) Mygatt

March 10, 2005

Victor,It's been a sad year that has passed. Your Mom did good with your 1 year date of being gone. She's a tough woman and she's holding her own. I give her credit for keeping it together on that sad day. James is doing well also. I did speak with Marina and she was pretty upset. But for the most part everyone is holding their own. Your Mom and I talk about you. We look at your pictures. And of course we shed a few tears too. You were taken from us way too soon, but we know you're in a much better place now and you're watching over all of us! Also you're going to be an Uncle!!! Mary is expecting her first baby! I'm not sure of a due date yet, but soon you will be an Uncle again! Congrats Uncle!!!

We all love you Victor and miss you terribly!!!



Your Mom misses you terribly and loves you with all her heart!

Andrea Anderson

Victor, I catch myself thinking about you alot more around this time. Yesterday was a year since you've been taken from us, and I'm missing you sooo much. I Love You and Miss you. I know you are watching down on all of us, your loved ones. All I have is pictures of us and memories...never, ever forgotten. Again, I Love You So Much, I was thinking of you and had to drop you a few lines. Wish I could just call you up ya know!! I know you are in a much better place, taking care. Mikayla and Jeremy have made a beautiful addition to the family with their beautiful baby boy Leondous, really wish you could see him. Much Love Victor...save a big bear hug for me!!! I Love You!!!

Happy Birthday Victor!!! It's been a very long 2 1/2 months. It still doesn't seem real. I was going through some boxes and found some letters you had written to me. I headed for the phone to call you, then reality hit me. My heart broke all over again. This is so hard being without you. I'm sure you're up there laughing at all the times I've picked up the phone to call you and all the times I've went to email you. I know time will ease my pain, but all the time in the world can't fill the void where you belong! I miss you dearly. I know we'll meet up again and I can hug you again! Happy Birthday Big Guy! We all love and miss you dearly!!!!

Our Prayers deeply go out to the family of Victor Cruz. He is in our hearts and will missed.

Angie (your Aunt) Mygatt

April 13, 2004

Victor, I can't believe you are gone. My heart aches for you, but I know you are in a much better place now. I have so many fond memories of you from my many trips to visit. Now I wish I would have taken more pictures instead of taking it for granted that you would always be there when I came home to visit. It will never be the same without. I should have hugged you and told you what a good nephew you are, but I didn't. I took it for granted that you knew. This is a lesson learned, I'll never forget to tell your Mom, brothers or sisters what they mean to me anytime I talk to them or see them. And I know I'll have another chance to hug you and tell you how special you are to me. Until we meet again, I love you and miss you dearly.

Trisha Larned
