Its been just over a year now, and I am still left with an empty feeling inside. You were a big part of my life growing up and I will never forget you. If only you could've seen me in my uniform, you would have been extremely proud. Love you, see you soon.

David Tapia, you will always be remembered as a great cousin to me and your Aunt Isabel's kids. We and all the family are dealing with such a great loss to have you gone so young.
