Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Conrad Alvarez US Army Sergeant.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Hey Conrad. You were really weighing heavy on my heart today and I just wanted to take a minute to write it down. It still doesn't seem real that you are gone. It's been years and I just can't wrap my head around never hearing your voice again or never seeing you again. We miss you so much.
Everyday I'm praying for your family, for your mom, your brothers, your sister, and especially your children.
I know you are around. Someone as special as you can never just go away it doesn't make it hurt any less though.
Keep visiting, we miss you Conrad. Love you buddy <3

When my husband SSG Turner returned home a week ago it was wonderful. However, Conrad your presence was missed terribly. You are missed so bad and it really hurts so many. You were so much to so many. I saw your beautiful wife and baby son at the hanger and couldn't hold my tears back. Kristin Thomas is carbon copy of you. People couldn't get over how identical to you he is. What I noticed the most was his beautiful Alvarez grin. But more than that his personality. He is just precious and he is going to also have your outgoing personality that drew everyone to you. It breaks my heart that you had to leave us so soon. You will live on through all of our hearts who knew you and loved you. You touched so many and everyone you touched loved you. I know that your son will live on as a living legacy and Maira and your Mom will make sure that he knows the wonderful, loving daddy you are. He will know you from them. They will raise him to be the gentle but brave man who his daddy was. He will be a friend to all and care about others. We miss you Conrad! One thing is for certain. You were loved by so many and you had so many friends beyond what any person could even hope to have in a long life time. I send my best to your family that they will be alright over the Holidays and know that there are people that really love and care about them with their true heart. I will be thinking of them all through the holidays and keeping them close to my heart and in my prayers. We miss you Conrad!

Dear Belinda, It seems that nearly everyday that you and Conrad will enter my thoughts. I will think of how close you and him were and I grieve for your loss. I pray for God to give you comfort and peace to help you through your hurt and pain. You are such a loving and caring person and that is why we love you so much. You are a wonderful mother and raised your children well and that is such a beautiful reflection on you. You gave them all so much of yourself and so much love and that is why they know how to give love and friendship to others. You are also a fantastic grandma and they will know their daddy through you and your kindheart because you and Conrad shared such a special bond. You and him were so much alike and he would be proud that his children will have you to share that special bond with too. Take care my precious friend and know that I am here for you if you ever need anything. With love, Cindy

To the Alvarez Family,
As I sit here and look at Sgt. Alvarez' smile, I can only imagine what kind of a person he must have been and to not be able to see that smile again inflicts so much pain it must be unbearable for you. As an American, I thank you for Sgt. Alvarez and as a mother I grieve for your loss. What I say can not ease any of your pain, but please know that his sacrifice for me and all Americans will never be forgotten. I will think of him often and his smile.
Warmest Regards,

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I would also like to tell you about a website, http://groups.msn.com/SSPSoldierPor
traits/homepage,
where some wonderful people will make wood portraits of your fallen Hero for free for the immediate family. I became aware of this site when I wanted to do something special for Le Ron’s mother.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so truly sorry for your loss and the deep heartache that you must feel. You raised such a wonderful son. He was always smiling. Everyone was just drawn to him. He was a very special man and Soldier. He was a friend to all. As Roy put it, there wasn't anyone that didn't like Conrad. He will be sorely missed. I wish that I could do something to ease your pain. Please know that you are in our hearts, prayers and thoughts. I just still can't believe that this happened. Honey I am so sorry.

To The Family And Friends Of Sgt Conrad Alvarez,
Conrad was a much loved friend to "many" of the soldiers he trained and served with. He allowed our family to have a cook out at his home for "some of the troops he had taken under his wing" while we were visiting our grandson at Fort Campbell. Many hearts are broken both here in the states and back in Iraq among the troops he was serving with, he was a very special soldier and a friend to all. We will never forget him, and, they will never be able to replace him.
God Bless You All,

I moved to Roscoe my freshman year in High School, and it was Conrad, Daniel, and Roach who helped me feel more confortable being the new kid on campus. I think back to those days and can honestly say he really was a good friend to me. He always had my back if anybody wanted to kick my butt. I didn't have a vehicle until my jr. year and during that whole time, Conrad would open his house up to my brother and I till our ride would pick us up. Everyday for my entire sophomore year I was at his house, and the memories will never be forgotten. To me, Conrad Alvarez will always be remembered as a well respected war hero, but most of all he was a good friend to me. I will always remember him for how he took care of me in high school and died making the ultimate sacrifice protecting my freedoms here in America.

Father we entrust our brother Conrad to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Conrad in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

To the Alvarez family,

I know at this time there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Conrads' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

I can't even find the words...I lost my 19 year old son--5 Sept 2007, Balad, Iraq. I am absolutely devastated and I know that you are too...but find comfort in the fact that we will see our loved ones, our heroes again. Do I wish that I could trade places with my son? ABSOLUTELY not. He is in the arms of our Lord--"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" ~Rev 21:4
What a wonderful thought...
May God bless Sgt Conrad Alvarez, God bless you and your family and God bless America!

Conrad was an awesome, one of a kind person. It was an awesome experience getting to watch him grow up, and be part of his life. He love everyone whole heartedly. I am honored to have known him. He had a great admiration, and appreciation for his mother. His love was so strong, that it was impossible not to be affected by it. He was my child, my friend, my sidekick (as we used to say). I love you so much

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Sergeant Alvarez. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. This precious life, lived and lost in love of America, epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… the family of one of America's best ...!!!

I pray you will be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength in this time.
