Hey Baby, Just want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday and Happy Birthday on Friday. As you know, I've decided to sell the house and move back home so the next few days will be very busy. Not that I will forget your birthday, I just may not have time to sit and write. The girls are coming down to help me pack. Ever since Mary died the kids, mom, as well as my siblings want us closer, and now I guess it finally does feel right. I just can't seem to move forward and continue to live here without you. You found your perfect home with JESUS, and until He calls me home, I have to find my home. I love our home, and all the beautiful memories we made and shared together, those will never be taken away from me. Thank You again for loving me and my family, you were the best. But now I must make trust God and allow Him to lead me into a new season in my life. With God's guidance , His love and mercy I know I'm in great hands. I miss you so very much, my heart aches for you every single day. Some days I think I do get upset with God for taking you away from me, but I know you were His before you were mine and we are born to die. But enough said, may your special day when you were sent to earth be as special as when you got back home, because I know your new Birthday is the day you met up with Jesus face to face. I can't wait to see you my love, I will honor and love you forever my dear. Thank You dear Lord for allowing me to experience what a true marriage really is, to be so happy that I could not sit still, and to have had the opportunity to love a GODLY MAN. My life, with You Lord, is complete. Give daddy and Mary a hug and kiss for me.

My Dear Sweet Husband, Oh, how I miss you. How's my sister? Please give her and daddy a big hug and kiss for me. Thank You. Well now it's finally going to happen, I am now planning to move back to be closer to the family. I am selling the house and moving.My heart continues to break as I continue to miss you, and now to leave it all behind seems like it will be the end, But it's not, I will not let it, I will never forget you and will always honor your memory and who and what you represented in my life. I will forever be grateful to God for sending you to me. That is how I know God truly loves me, He sent me the best husband, kids, and family. I must be His favorite, RIGHT!! You, like God, always made me feel special. I love you so much. And I so love my God. He has, and continues to be with me always. I could not have made it without my God, and will continue to move forward with Him. May His perpetual light continue to shine upon you and may you continue rejoicing in God's kingdom. Until we meet again, you remain forever in my thoughts, but mostly in my heart. Love You Mi Vida

Hey baby, just sitting here at work thinking about you. Some days all this seems so unfair and unreal, even if I do understand it's all part of life. We are born to die, yeah, yeah,, I know and believe all that, I just don't understand why our time was so limited, so short. We were so happy, I loved you so much. Jesus was certainly at the center of our marriage, I know we had our ups and downs but we never went to bed upset or started our day without prayers, a hug and a kiss. I still miss talking with you throughout the day, you calling me on your way home, waiting for you at the door when you got home, eating together, and watching tv everyday, than having ice cream before we said our prayers for the night. You were the perfect husband, we had a good, perfect life. Up until you got called home. So now I'm sure that is your perfect life,your perfect home, where there is no more pain, or sadness, no sorrow or distress, I'm sure that is like no other place. I will continue to honor your memories, & your name. Please continue to intercede on our behalf with Christ and Our Blessed Mother. Thank You once again for everything, thank you for your presence, I definitely feel you near. My heart still hurts and misses you, loving you forever.

Hey baby, here it is 3yrs & one week since my whole life was torn into pieces. The last week has been really hard, I so wanted and meant to get on your website but I somehow felt lost and along, even though I know I'm not ever alone, God is always with me and you promised you would always be with me. I totally believe you both. Little by little, I'm understanding more and more of just what a blessing it is to know we make it home,just like you did. I find myself taking a trip through memory lane and know God's plan for you was so perfect. not that I ever doubt any of God's work, but why he called you home when He did. You had established such a beautiful, strong, intimate relationship with Christ. Your love and devotion was so contagious, and even though I continue to miss you so very much, you so deserved your reward and I know you are now in HEAVEN. I was, I am, and will always be so proud of you, I will continue to honor your name and your memory. Thank you for all you gave me but most of all for sharing your faith with me. That was our greatest journey. Much love and kisses.

Hey Baby,
Here we are already, almost halfway in July. I can't believe how fast time is flying. My Summer job is going well, as I'm sure you already know. There are so many times I still catch myself wanting to call and share something with you, like we used to. I desperately need your intercession, you know everything I am going through and you know what it is I need help with. But once again thank you for your visits, they are so meaningful and special. That is what helps me get thru my day, and even though, in my dreams, I know you've gone home, the visits are so real. I thank God everyday for sending you and allowing you to come so often in my dreams. I thank God for His continued love and strength. The Joy of the Lord is my Strength... I love you my dear sweet husband. Give my dad a hug for me and tell him how much I love and miss him. Until we meet again, you will remain forever in my heart.

Hey babe,the last few weeks have been really rough for me. More this year then the past. June just brings so many memories. 15years ago today at about 2:20 in the afternoon was the beginning of our lives together. I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when you first called me. And I'll never forget you goofy line, "I was just sitting here in Laredo waiting to get loaded, and I was bored so I thought I would call you." That was the first of our many everyday conversations. From June 24,2002-September 9,2014. We talked everyday, several times a day. Oh how I miss you. I even remember the first time you told me you loved me. It was mid July, you were out on the boat with Rene & Jesse Jr, and I was in San Antonio looking at cars with Christy. After that day you told me everyday, several times a day. June was also when we were diagnosed with cancer. And June also brings Father's Day. I just miss you so much. People often say it will get better, it gets easier, but I don't see how. With every passing day, I miss and need you that much more. You always challenged me, and made me so much better and stronger, you inspired me, you trusted and believed in me. You walked beside me every day, never in front, never behind, always beside me. And our best journey together was our faith, our God. Sharing our Catholic Religion was beautiful. You were truly my soul mate. I thank God everyday for the gift of you. Even if our time together was cut short, we accomplished, experienced, and shared more than most will in a lifetime. Many will never know or experience that kind of love, so from the bottom of my heart I thank you. You were the angel in my life and you continue to be my angel. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams. May you rest in peace my love.

Hey Baby, Thank God and thank you for all your help with the Women's ACTS Retreat 33, in spite of all the struggles, hurdles, insecurities, doubts, tribulations, tears and all others confused emotions, I'm really glad I did. That week before the retreat was crazy in itself, it was the hardest trip I've ever taken alone, and just when I thought I was all cried out, there they came again. This was my first trip to Sanger to visit Nena without you, my first stay over at Melissa's without you, my first flat tire while on the road, my first rain storm and first very close accident, all these things were so hard for me, but I needed to do this to prove to myself I can do this, you taught me so much, you believed in me, and constantly reminded me of how I had courage deep within that God had given me, and that with God beside me, I had no need to fear. You trusted me, you had faith in me, you believed in me, and best of all you loved me. I will never forget you, and our time together. Our talks, our trips, our movie time, our ice cream time, our cuddling time, all our memories are so special and will forever stay engraved deep within my heart. No words can express how much I love you. Thanks for all your visits in my dreams. I will love you forever.

Hey baby, where has the time gone? I can't believe we're getting close to your 3rd year anniversary , from the day you went home. I still miss you so much. But more and more I try to imagine how it must be like there, being face to face with Christ, our Blessed Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, all family and friends that are also there. How it is when someone else is coming home. I try to keep in mind of what joy to be home. I know you continue to be with me as you promised, for there are times your presence is so strong, but then I have those moments of not understanding the message, and it is then when I try to let go and let God. Just as your faith was so great and so strong, there is where I seek to be. Please pray and intercede for me that I may learn to trust God to the fullest and that I walk closers to our Blessed Mother. Help me with my Retreat in June as I am still having a hard time just knowing you won't physically be there, but I know spiritually you will be. I love you so much and just thinking about you, still brings much joy. Until.we meet again. Love & kisses, & hugs from your Mrs. ❤

Hey baby, Missing you of course, I just want to thank you. As you know I've been blessed everyday with the opportunity to go to Adoration before work every morning. I feel you so close when I'm there. I've been able to be a Communion Minister at Church again, it was a little hard, but I managed. Loving you and holding you deep in my heart is what helps me move on. I also went and sat with LJ at the hospital he is too cute. His little eyes remind me of you. Easter is almost here, I've worked hard and am trying to Resurrect to a new life, one closer to Christ this Easter Season. I ask and pray for your help and guidance. Missing you and daddy everyday. I love you both.

Hey baby,
Just sitting here at work thinking of you as I do everyday. For some strange reason Fridays are still very hard for me. I miss you so very much. Many say it gets easier with time, I still don't see how, but Thank you for coming to see me in my dream last night. It's always so comforting and it seems so real, I love you so very much. Well, I've been invited to serve on the next Women's ACTS Retreat. I still don't know if I'm ready, but I said yes. So I'll really need all your help and prayers. I know you will be with me. And thank you for my Valentine's Day heart. It was so beautiful and so perfect, I can't believe I didn't take a picture, I guess I just got to excited. Thank you baby for continuing to show you love me. I don't think anyone will ever know just how much I loved you. Give daddy a hug and kiss for me please. I will continue to pray for you. God bless.

Happy Anniversary My Love,
Today has been especially hard for me, knowing that 9 yrs ago today we got married by the Catholic Church. I will never forget what a special day that was, and how the only thing that mattered to us was getting married in the house of GOd, The Catholic CHurch. You made my journey so special. Thank You always being there for me and PAul. You were the best. The road we traveled, the life we lived, we always made sure it was a Christ Centered life. I will forever be greatful, for praying with me, in the morning, before meals, in the evening. For making every Sunday and every holy day of obligation priority in our life. I love you and in my heart you will forever rest. The memories are what keep me going. Rest in Peace my love, until we meet again.

My sweet dear husband oh how beautiful Christmas must have been for you and Daddy and everyone else. I miss you both so much. Thank you for making your presence known with the usual white feather, so small and so white, laying in the street in front of my car, only for me. Even though the wind was blowing, there it was just for me. You always know just what I need and when I need to feel or know your with me. As I start this new year, my third Christmas without you, once again I give thanks and praise to our almighty God for allowing me to know you, to love you, but most of all for allowing me to serve Him, with you by my side. It has been those memories that have carried me thru the rough moments. Fr. Peter told me, the closer I get to God, the closer I remain with you, because that's where you are. I know He must tell you daily, "Well done, my good and faithful servant". I will forever be greatful to you for walking the journey with me. And though we had some rough spots, together, with the help and guidance of our Lord Jesus Christ we saw them through. We were truly blessed. I will love you forever. Happy New Year

Of the happy times we shared, Together you and me.
For, I miss you so very much And words never could convey
The extent of the joy that you brought to me each day...

Thank you baby, for walking with me wherever I go. Some days your presence is so much stronger than other days, but I know you're there. As days go by I miss you more and more. Today as I drive back to Lubbock from San Antonio, I heard the last song we danced to, at Dave & Don's in Woodrow, that last July. We were with Blanca & Xavier, Rene& Angela, Sierra. That was a good memory, and only caused a few tears. I cherish every moment and every memory of you. I love you so much. Rejoice and dance with the Angels my love.

I still miss you so much, and if it wasn't for my jobs that keep me so busy I don't know where or how I'd be. You ways and your memories are still so very special, and constantly on my mind. Thank you for the visit last night, many times I gets so upset that I can't recall the dream from the night before, but last night's is so vivid and special. I love you so much. With every passing day my heart aches more and more as I go missing you. My life seems so empty and incomplete, it is only with God and through prayer that I'm able to go on. But I am forever grateful for the time we had together. Until we meet again, hugs and kisses my sweet, sweet husband. I LOVE YOU

Good morning my love, just sitting here thinking about you, and wondering how different everything is without you. I miss you so much. My life feels so empty and incomplete. I feel so lost at times not knowing what I should do next. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be walking or living my life without you. At times it is so unbearable and so hard to go on. Then I dream of you or I feel your presence or hear your voice and I remember we are all born to die, I'm reminded of where you are and who you're with. It is those thoughts and memories that help me carry on. May you always know how much you are loved and missed. Until we meet again my love, many hugs and kisses your way. Always on my mind and forever in my heart..

Hey baby, Everyday I continue to honor your memory. In everything I do, everywhere I go you are still a big part of my life. It is only through the grace and mercy of our God that I am able to continue. I thank Him everyday for sending you to be a part of my life. You were truly made in His image and likeness and made am impact on everyone who ever knew and loved you. I'm sure your days at home are joyful and glorious, and that is what gives me consolation. And every tear I shed is bitter sweet, because I miss you so very much, but am content in knowing of your relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and where you are today. Your work in the vineyard for however long it may have been was well rewarded. You were not just my husband, you were my best friend, my lover, and my soulmate. You showed and gave me so much, and together we shared so much. You will always be the love of my life. Hugs & kisses my love.

Hi Baby,
Just needing to talk to you. I miss you so much. My dàys and nights are so long. I can't believe it's been 19 months since you went home,for me it still seems like it was yesterday. I find myself wanting to call you each time I have any news or need directions, or having a good or bad day. I repeat many of our daily conversations, and those memories àre bitter sweet. They help me smile but I miss you even more. I honor you daily, in memories, your name, the sunrise and sunsets. You are still and will always be in my mind and heart, closer to me in everyway. I recall the many trips, the movies we watched, reading the Bible and praying together, the many couples retreats, volunteering together at church and the nursing home. Life with you was such a blessing. Together we learned what a true marriage should be. I will forever be greatful first to God for crossing our paths and to you for being Jesus to me. I love you so much. Thoughts and prayers always.♥

Happy Anniversary my love. Eight years ago today, was one of the happiest most memorable days of my life. Marrying you in the Catholic Church, where we became one, and coming to the table of the Lord together every week, sharing the greatest gift, the Eucharist, was always a highlight of my life. You walked with me on the greatest journey and we shared the best days of our lives, together. We voweled to have and to hold,for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. And that it did my dear sweet husband. And today as I sit here and reminisce, I choose to thank God for what I did have, and not for what I don't. So even though I may not be able to have and to hold you anymore, I know our heavenly Father and our Blessed Mother are holding you today, and that you are better than ever before, you are as rich as a man can possiblly be, and you are feeling no pain, I loved and cherished you while on earth and I will continue to honor and remember you always. Together we saw and were blessed with God's plan for us. Sharing, my life and the sacraments with you was an honor.Even though you are not physically here, I know you are here with me every day. The memories are as deep as the wounds which will remain in my heart forever. I love you.

Yesterday I felt okay
I smiled, when I thought of you
I remembered happy times, and the funny things you'd do.
But today I feel so very sad
I think of you and cry.
I'm missing you so very much and still asking God--why?
I don't know what will happen
When I face another day,
What will tomorrow bring?
Will I cry? Or be okay?
This rollercoaster of emotions
Is the worse ride of my life
Nothing can prepare you,
For the never ending strife.
I may not handle my emotions
The way that I should do.
But I still thank the Lord
For the time I had with YOU...

As I wake up each morning, my first thought is about you, and your the last one I think about as I fall asleep at night. I remember how we would hold hands each morning as we said our prayers at the beginning of each day, and thanked God for ALL our blessings. And how you'd give me a big hug and a kiss and tell me you loved me. How we would bless each other before we left the house. How we would greet each other and the door as we came home from work, or how we prayed with Paul and thanked God at the end of each day. You truly were Jesus to me. Oh how I miss you, your sweet smiling face, your gentle touch, your jokes, your words and your ways, your love. The memories you left me with, I'll cherish and treasure forever. As I sit here and think about the good times we had, I.can't help but love you that much more. With you I experienced the joy of unconditional love. Thank You for loving me, and for giving me the opportunity to love you. You were and will always be remembered as one of a kind. A truly great man, a terrific husband, a good friend ,and MY SOUL MATE. Until we meet again. Hugs & kisses your way, my dear sweet angel. I will love you forever.

On the Anniversary of the Day You Went Away
Today 's the Anniversary
Of the day that I lost You
And for a time it felt as though
My life had ended too.
But loss has taught me many things
And now I face eaçh day
With hope and happy memories
To help me on my way.
And though I'm full of sadness
That you're no longer here,
Your influence still guides me
And I still feel you near.
What we shared will never die,
It still lives within my heart
Bringing strength and comfort
While we are apart.

I sat with you today you know, I sat right in your chair. I know I could not see you, But I know that you were there..... I couldn't hear your voice at all, But I heard every word that was spoken, I sat with you today you know, Calm, but yet so heartbroken..... I know you follow me around, I have known it from the start,But sometimes I am afraid to look, so heavy is my heart....I often feel you touch my face, or think I feel you near, But when I try to see you, It's like you simply disappear.....I love you more and more each day, and beg for you to know. I find it hard every day Just to let you go....I sat with you today you know, I'm sure that was your scent, I cannot understand it though, How you just suddenly went.....I'll sit with you tomorrow, if that's okay with you, sometimes it feels the only thing I still know what to do....... I LOVE YOU....

The moment that you left me, my heart was split in two; one side filled with memories; the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache, that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain; You see life has gone on without you- but it will never be the same. I love you.... Happy Father's Day My Love.

You are and will always be very important in my life as you continue to be such a great inspiration. I so feel your presence so I know you are with me as you said you would be. May you rest in peace, my dear sweet love. Thank you for being who you were, for all your love and respect. I will always treasure the love we had. I love you.

Jesus Martinez was a very Caring and Loving Man. I had the privalege of serving with Jesus on Mens Acts Retreats. He shared his wisdom with Men that needed guidance. Jesus Martinez loved serving Jesus Christ by taking the time to smile, laugh and give Men attending retreats hope to follow a Christian Life. During this time I am writing this it is Easter 2015 and I know Jessie is in Heaven with Jesus Christ that He truly served as a apostle on this world. Jessie I will miss you very much but you will always be remembered. Your Acts Brother Rudy.
With Love

If You Could See Me Now...
If you could see me now, you wouldn't shed a tear.
Though you may not understand why I'm no longer here.
Remember my spirit, that's the real me.
I'm still very much alive, oh,if you could only see!
I've beheld our Father's face. I've touched my Savior's hand.
The angels all rejoiced as I entered the Promised Land.
Beyond the gates of pearl, I walked on golden streets.
I've touched the walls of jasper, dipped my foot in the crystal sea.
The beauty is beyond words, nothing can compare.
I've even seen your mansion; someday I will meet you there.
Allow Jesus to be your guide, His word will show you the way.
So, please, don't cry! We will meet again someday!

What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. Those whom we hold dear in our hearts, we can never forget. We were truly blessed to have had such a wonderful & loving step-father. Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and mostly for loving us. You most definitely left a print in our hearts that we will treasure forever. Our days here on earth will not be the same without you but we can find comfort knowing you are at peace and one day we will all be reunited. Until then we will continue to treasure all the wonderful memories we have with you. I love you!
