RAEANN MONIQUE MARQUEZ

It has been 8 years since the day the world came crashing down. The day we all changed inside. You were my first real best friend and I wonder how life would have been today had it not been taken away far too soon. This Earth can be a terrible place. I think God took you away from this Earth because you were too good for it. Because he only wanted you to stay peaceful, safe, and happy forever. My memories of us are still so clear when I sit and think alone. Remember that time we had lunch break at school, we had some fritos and for some reason the birds were following us. Then I threw some fritos on the ground and lo and behold, turned out they were hungry! We kept laughing and dropping fritos for the birds to eat as we walked. Oh the simple, cherished memories. We use to pass notes back and forth at school. I have a couple to this day. Oh what I wouldn't give to be a high school kid with you again. I remember us writing about what we would name our future kids when we grew up. You said if you had a son you would name him Malik. Then I said if I had a daughter I would name her Escence which is funny now that I'm an adult. (I have 3 children none of whom I named Escence lol). Just seeing your handwriting on some of these notes is interesting to think that you sat there and wrote the words on the paper. You are and will always be forever missed.

Happy holidays beautiful one, miss seeing your smile and thinking of what you'd be doing if you were here. ..I love you..Aunty Deb

You should be here
Enjoying your life
A happy Mother
Beautiful wife
You should be here
Beautiful daughter
Strong Black Woman
That's what her mom taught her
You should be her
Celebrating with kin
Surrounded by love and lifelong friends
You should be here
Happy and Blessed
Because you deserved the very best
You should be here!!! But since you're not....
I'll fight for you
With all that I've got.

Time heals all wounds
But people forget that LOVE
Is timeless....

It still seems like yesterday, when we were kids and running around messing with each other or singing songs in your car as loud as we can. Its been almost 5 years and i still cant seem to accept the fact your never coming back. The older i get the harder it seems to deal with, the challanges i face and the decisions i make i no longer have you by my side. Words cannot explain the pain i feel on a daily, waking up knowing your time was cut short. Attempting to hold on to the memories we had because i fear ill one day forget. I hope your watching over me and you continue to guide me through life and watch over me. Lord knows its tough, just promise me you still have my back.....

Continue to bless us with visits of your bright light sweetie

Happy Birthday 24th Sweet Niece. You are loved, and deeply missed. I see you in my dreams from time to time. But for those of us that still grieve your loss, time is and always will be too long. I LOVE YOU RAENY

Definitely not a DAY goes by without thinking of you. Let your spirit continue to watch over your Ma and Sister... they need to feel you. We love and Miss you. Hermosa Persona, tu tia Debbie.

just saw a pic posted of you from 4th grade and we all reminisced and sent our love to your magnificent spirit. <3 bless your family and your darling memory

Happy Birthday Raeann.. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I see walking memories on the streets where we once walked when you went to Jefferson. The impact you made in my life is more than anyone will ever know. If only time could be rewound..then you would still be here & changing lives bringing happiness to everyone you come across. No one could compare to being the best friend that you were to everyone..not even I. Rest in Peace Raeann.. 2/17/2010

Hey Rae just wanted too tell you I miss you so much . I remember every laugh we ever shared . I love you Beautiful Rest in Paradise

2/20/2013 ITS BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY... IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY. THE GOOD MEMORIES MAKE THE DAYS BEARABLE. GUESS ITS TRUE GOD DOESNT PUT YOU THROUGH ANYTHING WITHOUT GIVING YOU THE STRENGHT TO GO THROUGH IT. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN~ MOMMY MMMMMWUUUUUAH

I miss you and you're personality. You're awesome advice and that huge smile!!! Rest easy lady!!

i miss you so much! i love you!!!

Hey Rainy, we were laughing last night thinking about Gramma making me mad at the magazine and how much you laughed. What a joy it was to have you in our lives. How much I miss you and Love you. AUnty Deb

Hey Rainy! Just sitting here thinking about you. I do all the time but....just thinking what you would be doing if you were here today...where you would be in life? Would you be married with a son (remember the shoes). Loving & missing you like crazy....MOm

Hi, beauti i think about you all the time, miss you!!

Raenn we miss you so much you are in my prayers every day hopefully you and JonB are watching over all of especially my Anyssa and your moma and of the family that miss you hopefully you guys are taken care of us from up above! Love and miss you Auntie Monique!

..... It's almost like your not gone to me, your still here to me unless remind myself that your not..... I don't have anyone to talk to anymore. Sneak doesn't remember a lot of stuff you would so thats a little hard. It's weird to me that i still since you so strongly, but i wish we could've progressed together, you didn't even get to see me get my license. these notes are hard to end.... i could go on forever...... And one day we'll get to but for now theres not enough time. I wonder what would've happened if i had been with, because we all know that would've been a micro second of contemplation to put me there. That's not that far fetched to me.... I still dream of, not as often as i did at first but i still do. I can't imagine what it"s like up there. I have this theory that every stage of every family (both past and future) are manifestly present. And i know you'd love that! I can just imagine you playing with every single stage of my children, telling stories and so on, thats amazing to me! 19 versions of you... all present and accounted for i can't wait to see that!!!

Merry Christmas Rainy! Love & Miss You like Crazy! Mommy

I gave thanks to the Lord for all of the memories. I would go through it all over again just to be with you. Rest peacefully my gorgeous girl...until we meet again.

I love and miss you sis! Your with the angels now.I can't wait to see you and that beautiful smile again.Rest In Peace.

Woke up as usual looking for you only to realize you're never coming home again. I don't understand the meaning of your untimely death..I don't like "no man knows the day, time or hour", I know you were his but he gave you to me. Time has not healed this wound!

Raeann I love you beautiful I miss you so much you always motivated me to do what's right you are in a better place

Rainy..jeremy aaron Sandoval was sentenced to 24 years in prison! Consecutive! That means he serves 60% of the sentence before being considered for parole. Your life was NOT in vain. GOD is not done yet. Watch what he does next. Mommy misses you & loves you...ETERNALLY!!

WOW I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S I REMEMBER HER AS A LITTLE GIRL WHEN I WOULD GO OVER TO EDITH'S HOUSE OVER ON HIGH ST AND WE USED TO ALL HANG OUT I STILL HAVE THE CHRISTMAS PICTURE YOU GAVE ME OF HER WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL SHE WAS BEUTIFULL INSIDE AND OUT GOD REST HER SOUL:)

Beauty, he is guilty of all charges, Your passing is not in vain, nor our journey without destination. I love and Miss my Niece sooo much. Until we meet again. Olive Juice---Aunty Deb

In memory of our precious Reann we love and miss you dearly I keep a candle lit for you. May our memories with you keep your spirt alive in each and every love ones you left behind!. Luv Auntie Monique

I love you Beautiful! sleep with the Angels!

I can only say that it seems like yesterday when I held you in my arms and said what a beautiful baby. I watched you grow into a beautiful young lady that I will never forget. One thing I can say is that I love my family. When you left you took apiece of my heart with you. I know that we have to trust in the God of all comfort,who comforts us in all our troubles,so thatwe can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have recieved from God.(2 cor 1:4) So with this I open my arms wide and ask God to give my family peace and comfort for we have suffered many great losses. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child Deanna.I love you,may God bless you and wipe your tears away. Know that I am here for you anytime day or night.

It is a great mother like Raeann's mother to keep her memory in everyone's heart.

Audra Burgos. It is a strong mother like Raeann's mother to keep her memory in everyone's heart

It was a joy having Raeann in my class at Wyatt-Edison. Her bright smile will always be etched into my memory. I will continue to lift up your family in prayer.

Sorry to hear of your loss,it is always sad to hear of someone gone to rest, it is especially sad when it is a child so young.She is with GOD and she will overlook all her loved ones she has left behind.God bless you and your family.
