Dear Chase,
Always remember you are surrounded by people that love you so much!
Your mommy will be missed by many of us. And I will always keep your mommy's memories in my heart.
Your mommy was a very smart!! She taught me many things. One of the most valuable things was to always believe in yourself. I've always heard this from many people but your mommy had a very special way in showing me.. she pushed me to do my best even when I didn't want to!! Many times I didnt want to lol but
Only someone that cares that's much about you will push you to your limits.
Your mommy had NO LIMITS!!!
I will miss her laugh, her Energy.. the way she worked out..lol and her soft caring heart.
I will miss the great times we spent together growing up and the experiences that made me who I am today.
I love you, Chase!

Michelle, I remember I met you in high school you were always hanging out with Sorina and I spoke to you a couple times, but when we had summer school together in class, I always remember that time you and Paola acting up in the parking lot being crazy and then in class we had all this crazy conversations about boyfriends lol I still remember like if it was yesterday! Then after we graduated I lost contact with you, but I remember asking a few of our friends for you some didn't reply and one day I found you! I was so happy to get in touch with you, my surprise was that you had bearly moved to Cali with your Bf and so mature going to college giving me so much advices about going to school, life, etc! Literally you were unique and I always told you! your mind, your personality, how you would see life made me admire you!!!!! You always told me put your daughter (Grace) to read read read!!! And I did and now she's ones of the smartest in a magnet School. You were always there to message me back when I had questions or when I need it an advice and therefore I won't ever forget you!!!!! You are gone but never forgotten!!!! Gracias por todos tus hermosas palabras siempre!!!!!! Aun conservo todos los mensajes!!!!!

I met you in kindergarten, and kept in touch through the years. We were never close, but there was always something about you that made me admire you. There was a power to your presence, a radiance about you, even when we were 6. I will always remember you and the spark in your eyes. I know you are in complete peace and calm, look over us until we meet again.
