Here I am (we all are) getting through another September 10th. It's still hard looking this up and seeing your picture, your details here. I miss you always. I love you always. I still have my days that I just can't believe you aren't alive and among us. You are missed at every "event" in my life...in our lives. Life is not the same without you.

Missing you alot today, geez like I don't everyday...just wish I could talk to you, share my plans, wanting to hear your opinion,your guidance, (although I am older it seemed like you were the older one) hearing your voice, seeing you smile, hearing you laugh...It's just a hard day today and I miss you...

November 2, 2009

Thank you for visiting me this early a.m. I felt your touch but yet could not see your beautiful face. All I can remember was laughing and being so happy with you!! I love and miss you terribly, Lou!!

Jessica

October 5, 2009

Struggling lately to get through the days. Thinking of you constantly, missing you terribly, needing you so badly. Trying so hard to stay strong, wishing I could heal her pain. She is lost without you. Surrounded by more and more news of others passing, sets her back each time. Please continue to watch over her. Help her get through this latest set back. We love you Lou

Emma Diaz

September 13, 2009

Hey there my brother...today would have been your 36th birthday...I will always wish you a great birthday..whatever...your so so so missed, it's still so hard to believe this reality, as Eneida says just going through the days, creating new history without you...we love and miss you crazy...

Eneida Diaz

September 10, 2009

I had the most bizarre dream with you last night/this morning. Although I never got to the point of seeing your face, I felt you there. Thank you again, as always for visiting me. This day, more than most, will always be hardest. I wish I could just forget the events of that day. I wonder, "would it be any easier?". Probably not. I hate remembering you in this way, in terms of the last day of your life. I try to just remember you each and every day instead but today is extremely painful all the same. I will never be accepting of your absence from my life and the memories we continue to make without you. It's cruel. I love you and miss you always.

Eneida Diaz

June 10, 2009

Everytime I get this alert of an entry, I still can't stand seeing your name in this context, "The Guestbook of Luis Antonio Diaz Sr.". It's painfull. I think of you every single day of course and wish I could turn back time and change what happened. Wishing somehow I could have stopped that day from playing out the way it did. I thank GOD everyday for my experiences with you and my memory which keeps you very much alive in my heart. I have been changed forever with the loss of you. Lil'E

Thanks again for always visiting me in my dreams....don't ever stop. I miss your smile and laughter. Two of the hardest things to not see and hear anymore....actually thank goodness you and the kids were always video taping.....we have that to hear still. What can I say? I love you and miss you...I guess papi is opening up Conquistador again in heaven and you will be promoting a night! hehehehehe See you in my dreams.

September 8, 2008

Another trip to Nardolillo, still no easier. I hate even stepping foot into that place. Its a setback each time. Alyssa didn't do so well either. She tried to be strong, but she misses you so much. As the next few days creep closer, it just gets harder. We are looking forward to the ride, its the one time everyone is together, but not sad. It is nice watching all the people who show up to honor you. Amazing how many lives you touched while you were here. And how many changed when you left us. Please keep watching over us. Keep us safe. We love you & miss you.

August 9, 2008

Its been a long time. I think of you everyday,so many lives have changed and are still changing. You are missed so much.

Hey big bro. I have not written in a really long time. But, today I feel compelled. I believe you helped me have a full and restful sleep last night as I fell asleep thinking of you and the events we will enjoy this weekend! Can you believe this.....? Your baby boy is graduating! I was telling Kyle today that I remember walking in on him on the porch when you got him his first haircut....his hair was long and wispy and wavy like your pics when you were a toddler that mami has and there Luis Jr. was, playing with a ball, sitting on the same porch at 391 then a baldy bean!!!! :) Now he is turning into a man and graduating from Cranston H.S. East of all places! The years have blown by. I know you are rejoicing in heaven. He did it. I know you are proud. I hope he feels it from you in his heart! I love you.

Can you believe I'm in the Bronx, I can't get over it, you said I would never leave and here I am, I know you help made it happen along with the Lord and myself...I sometimes wanna call you and talk to you to tell you how my days are going, so I talk to you in my mind knowing you can hear my thoughts and see whats going on...its hard knowing you won't physically visit...I know in spirit you are there with me..visit me always..miss you always...life will never be the same....

Jessica

April 9, 2008

Here I am, yet again wishing we could talk. Another trip to Nardolillo, another setback for me. I thought eventually it would be easier to step in there, but going there, seeing all the same faces all over again, all the Ruff Rider vests, just made it harder. Trying to be a rock for Alyssa, but falling apart inside. Painting on that smile til noone's looking. You would've been proud though, she was strong. She misses you so much. We both do. I hate that you're not here. The older she gets, the more difficult she gets, the more I need you. I have some new found support though, and extremely grateful for it. Please continue to watch over us. Guide us however you can. We love you....

March 25, 2008

Once again, yet another holiday....I think of you each passing day...wishing we can have our long talks...I must admit, when I think back of our long conversations, all I can do is smile...This is still unbelievable...I was actually looking at pictures a few nights ago...and it brought me back to those wonderful nights....of happiness!!! I miss everything about you, Lou!!!

Emma Diaz

March 24, 2008

hello my brother.....we went to see you yesterday....it had been some time...you know luis it does not get any easier, really it doens't, i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that thinks this way but....WHY!!!!!!! it's never going to be easy without you...it's crazy because there are just times that you forget your really not here...then it slaps you in the face....I guess it's just that i can't see life without you but am living in this life without you...its dang crazy my brother....i so know your always around...you have helped guide me and continue to....I MISS YOUR CRAZY BUTT...it's still unreal to me...i love you and miss you...

Jessica

March 6, 2008

I find myself missing you more and more lately. I thought it was supposed to be less as time passed. Its strange how we wait for that day to come, when a whole day goes by and we don't think about you at all. And yet, if that day came, we would hate ourselves for it. Hasn't come yet though. There are enough memories to fill our thoughts forever. Please continue to watch over us all. We love and miss you terribly. Always.

February 21, 2008

Hi big bro. I miss you so much. I have wanted to write everyday and haven't in so long. You know I write every day at home though! :) Today is not so easy. I don't know for sure why. But, I am wishing I had not taken our relationship for granted. I wish I had made more of the times we had together. While I know you are always in my heart and your spirit is always with me, I still want to have you here in life to continue to share every joy, sadness and to make more memories. Lately, I have looked at so many photos from our past and I have felt comforted by those memories that I have to look at in addition to remembering. You know sometimes this mind is not working so well!!!! :) The kids birthdays are passing once again and I am so grateful for all of them but wish you were here with us in life to celebrate. Your friends and family continue to honor you always, love you always and miss you always! I love you! Lil' E

January 2, 2008

Yet, another year has passed!!! You are so greatly missed and remembered by all who loved you, including me!! All I ever do is think of you..I dream of you all the time but can't put it toghether...I know your trying to tell me something but, I can't figure it out... If I could only turn back time, I would....It saddens me that I can't just pick up the phone and hear your voice on the other end...Accepting this is so damn difficult!!! I'm Missing you terribly. I know one thing, I will always cherish the memories...I will miss you forever! Until we meet again, Louie-Lou!!

Another Christmas passed. Still can't believe your gone. Its just not the same. You would've been so proud christmas morning. Luis took the initiative to pick up Alyssa and take her to your moms, like you used to do. I couldn't help but watch them leave, and think of you. But the best part of the day, when she came home. Your sisters sent me a framed picture of Alyssa and Luis. I begged you for years to have it done, and they took care of it for you. Such a beautiful picture. It made my day. I know you're watching over us. Please continue always.

Hello my darling brother, another year has gone by and another birthday has come and gone, I can't help but always think of you on my birthday, wishing we could celebrate together, but i guess WE wil, the days still are very hard and I'm pretty sure you know that...I long to see you come thru that door, cheer competion was this past weekend and damn it we did it, placed first and grand champions in the midget division to top it off, for 1 second i thought you were physically here and I thougt "omg i have to call louie", I know your always here with us....I know your not gone...I love you, I love you with every thing I am....continue watching over us all, family, friends and all...

Another friend of mine passed today and I decided to see if this page was still here... and here it is. I am reading and crying for the pain of your sisters, kids, wife, friends and family. You were always such an amazing guy and it is obvious you will always be with us in the love you gave. Your love is huge and reading a years worth of people writing makes me wonder how this could happen? How could such a blessing to all who knew him be gone? I feel so much saddness when I read your sister's words. I only met them breifly when we were younger a few time so I didn't know them well. I did always know family was at your center with lots of love and that lives on and I beleive always will. Blessing to you and your greatness! Blessing and Love to your sisters and the rest of your family and friends. May God help the healing and repair the questions of faith we all have when someone who has touched so many is no longer here. This could never make sence so we must give it up to God. The comfort of a butterfly, a song, a dream, I know you are doing this for your family. You are LOVE-You are LOVED. YOu are MISSED! GOD BLESS!

Eneida Diaz

October 9, 2007

My dearest brother. Lately, I have missed you more than ever. The days continue to pass and create a larger gap between the night we last spoke to one another and today. I miss your smile, I miss your hoarse voice after hanging out, I miss your laugh! I miss your laugh soooo much. I miss your 5 am calls, just to ask me what I'm doing??? I miss everything about you. I truly cannot believe you are not here with us. Some days it's like I need to shake my head to understand what has really happened and stay in the reality of what my life is like today without you, even though I don't want this to be true. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams now and then! You will always be in my heart everywhere I go...I take you with me. I love you!

Jessica

October 4, 2007

I wish I could remember who made the reference, but someone compared you to a butterfly...seemed silly at the time, until we started seeing a beautiful monarch butterfly everywhere we go, everything we do. At the ride, the cemetary. Everywhere. Still seemed silly, but sometimes we grasp onto whatever makes us feel better. Thinking you were that butterfly, watching over us. I humored everyone but that was just too ridiculous for me to fall for. But its become impossible to ignore. I'll be damned if a single monarch butterfly hasn't shown up at every one of Alyssa's games! What are the odds? I had to laugh last week when the damn thing flew right up and hit me in the face... Alyssa even had a butterfly someone bought her, she named it Luis and let it go at the cemetary. So if that is your way of watching...please keep watching. It brings her such comfort believing. We love and miss you always.

September 13, 2007

My friend Louie, I miss you. I keep thinking about the first day we met I was 5 years old, You have been my forever friend ever since. We had so many great times together. I think of those times often. I miss you. God bless your family. Till we meet again.

Thank you for visiting me in my dreams last night!!! Happy as always! I had been waiting to see you! It's crazy because I usualy don't remember my dreams...and who would've thought that when I went to write you this afternoon I had an email announcing your 2nd Annual Bike Run in your Loving Memory. I'll be there! Love Always

I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out and I am heavy hearted as I write this. May the memories of Louie keep you strong.

Jessica

August 28, 2007

Its so hard to believe that a year is creeping up on us already. I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to write. I have sat and tried so hard so many times but just couldn't. We miss you so much, some days more than others. The obvious days, birthdays, holidays, etc. But those days you just don't think about, didn't prep yourself for, those hurt the most. Like waiting this morning for the phone to ring as you call to wish Alyssa good luck on her first day of school, like you've done every year. Or the little things, like your call every night to tell her goodnight. I feel twice the pain. I hurt for myself and for our baby, knowing there is nothing I can do to fix this for her, make it all better. I try so hard to be strong and supportive for everyone else, while I am falling apart inside. I miss you terribly. We all do. Please continue to watch over us...Keep us safe. You are in our thoughts every day.

I still cannot believe your gone. Being the first to leave the "Edgewood" gang I feel guilty that I moved out of state and lost track of you. Even though your sisters probably do not remember me, I am thinking of them more and more. Hoping the family is doing well.

I just found out today that you're gone. I can't believe it I think I'm still in shock. I know I haven't seen you in almost 2 years but I just figured life got in the way you know, everybody grows up and moves on with work and kids and such. But to actually find out that you're gone for good it's a shocker. I know we didn't actually 'hang out' in school or anything but when we did run into each other you were always so nice and smiling. God blessed with your family & children when you were with them to light up their lives now I know you are in Heaven smiling down and waiting patiently for them to join you. You willl be extremely missed. You are always loved!

I know you're gone but the energy you brought to so many lives--including mine--keeps your soul alive! I love you! You will always live in my memory! I know that everyone who knew you can agree that "your presence" ignited a force that fueled our souls--your departure has left many souls empty...Big Lou, I really, truly miss you!

Lou,

I am sitting here missing you terribly. While I miss you every moment of my days, there are fleeting moments that I am never prepared for during which I just feel the most terrible pain and just cannot believe and do not want to accept you are not here among us. I was riding home from work today and my mind flashed back to September 10th and it was like a physical blow all over again. Luis has the bike back and your picture is just so life like. It's amazing and beautiful. Alyssa is growing more gorgeous by the minute and I think you would agree we need to lock her up for a few years!! :) Your children are such a blessing to us and a comfort. They are such an enduring reflection of you and I am forever grateful and blessed that we have them.

I miss you always and love you always.

Watch over us!

My loving brother, it has been six months since your passing and it seems that time has stood still, its seem like yesterday that you were at the house giving everyone a ride on your motorcycle, pushing mami to want to get on the bike, I know she wishes she had taken that ride with you, I'm glad the kids had that chance to ride at least once with you, this weekend for some reason has been especially hard, feelings of saddness that i can't shake, not that everyday is not hard, trying to comprehend that you are not physically here, but it's just hard, trying to come to terms with this is the hardest thing we will ever have to do....I do pray for my heart to heal, I know that we all have to live and continue with our lives tho we may not want to, but I will live for you, I will try my hardest to overcome this saddness, your spirit was one and only and I know that you would be telling me to cut the crap, but I know that you know that we can feel this way, I love you and miss you to no end and I know you know that Luis Antonio, help me heal, I need your strenth, please always keep an eye on all that loved you genuinly, I will do what I have to here. My little brother, I got you....till we meet again, in dreams, buttterflies and in that other life, I love you, your big sis.....

February 5, 2007

I called your phone today and to my surprise a woman picked up...it was your wife...I asked for you and there was a pause. Then, I thought I had the wrong number and I couldn't beleive what I was hearing because it seems like not too long ago you and I talked. I threw out so many descriptions of you just to be sure we were talking about you Louie. I was stuck, shocked and disturbed, I couldn't even remember how long it had been since we last spoke, but today I realized that it had been too long. The news of your passing served as a rude awakening. I'm so sorry that I wasn't there sooner!

Last time we spoke you were planning your B-Day party. I'm always going to long for that opportunity to return your call. I'm so mad that it took me this long! I had to leave work because I had to know, I cried as I drove all the way out there! It hurts and it kills me to know that I'm late! I can't believe how unfair life can really be.

I just left your tomb stone and memories flood my mind and my eyes...you're gone and I never got the chance to say good-bye!
As I sit here reminising and questioning GOD's will I have to be appreciative and thank GOD for at least one thing and that is that your wife kept your phone because otherwise I would have never known at all. I hope to see you in my dreams! I refuse to find reason to this injustice act and will always regret not calling you sooner! Good-bye Friend! Just know that your soul always brought music to my heart so now every time I hear music I will be thinking of you!!! You always were the "LIFE" of the party!

Beija Jaen

February 5, 2007

Big Lou, you brought so much light in to every life you touched! It's just not fair...I can't believe it took me this long to find out that you were gone! I will always remember you because you gave me the best times of my life. Your soul lives on in my heart! --Beija--

My dearest brother. Today has been especially hard coping. I just do not want time to keep passing and taking me further and further away from our life as brother and sister. With every passing month, I am further and further away from the last time I saw you and talked to you. It just hurts so much, too much. Thanks though for visiting me in my dreams all the time. I love you and miss you so much! Your lil' sis.

To think that its been a few months since your passing and relocating back to RI from FL does not seem the same. I planned on getting with everyone from the old neighborhood. We are still having everyone with the holidays but when we do it is not going to be the same.

Luis,
Thanksgiving has come and gone now and so the holiday season for this year has officially begun without you here with us. It's strange that when I am home or surrounded by our friends and family, it feels easier, less painful. But, this morning back in the world outside the safety of our home, it hurts so much more. Your physical presence over this holiday was severly missed. I miss you so much today at this very moment. I love you and hope you know this and can feel it too. Your son won the game Thursday and your daughter cheered her little heart out on Saturday! They are as passionate as you always were! Thank you for the gifts you gave us in them and all the others you gave to us through cherished memories. Oh yeah, your wedding video is just unbelievable and beautiful! You are so beautiful still. It was bittersweet to see you then, now. I miss you and love you so.

Your little sis. E

November 21, 2006

My dearest big brother. Today I miss you still. But, I awoke with different and more hopeful thoughts. While I wish we had more time together I feel I am moving a baby step closer to accepting that we are all children of God and our time here on Earth is as his shepards. Then we are called back home when our journey is complete. While I am unhappy your journey was to be this short, I take comfort in reflecting upon your life and the way you lived it. I am closer to realizing what a precious gift you were to me and our family and your friends. Your journey was short but extraordinary in your accomplishments. Most of all, you did what we all are here to do, you touched lives, you forged relationships, you LOVED. Which brings me to my most hopeful thought of all today, we may not have you here as we knew you, but something that no one can take away from any of us is our LOVE for you, the LOVE we shared, the LOVE we gave to you. While death takes the physical relationship, LOVE never dies. Therefore, I am grateful to have LOVED you and to have had your LOVE and to see all the LOVE you extended in your short but priceless and well-lived life! I love you always and forever, your little sis. E

To the Diaz Family,
Gosh, I dont know where to begin, I am living in FL for the last 3 yrs now and just found out about this tragic event. I went to school with Louie and we would see each other here and there through out our lives, when you live in a small state, you always see someone you know. :) What a remarkable man he was. Has such a beautiful wife and children. I want you to know my prayers are with you and I will say a prayer for you and your family everyday, that your family may find peace and remember all the wonderful memories that you left on their hearts. God Bless you all. I am so sad, what a wonderful person he was.
Just remember this: though we can not explain or understand God's plan, we have to remember he does have one for each and everyone of us, once our duties are done here on earth, we will continue our legacy in heaven. Blessings to all of you in these rough roads ahead, but please turn your heavy hearts to God and he will help you through this.

To Luis's family, I want to extend my deepest sympathy. Luis was a great man who's strength, courage, and drive came from the love he received from his children, his family, and his friends. His charm, smile and humor are unforgettable; as is he. I hope his children, wife and family can take solace in knowing that he eternally will be guiding them, loving them, and protecting them from enduring any more pain than they unfortunately have already been feeling. I'll miss you, Luis.

My dearest big brother Lou! I miss you so much. Each day that passes brings so many mixed emotions. I long for the peace that will come to me by accepting your passing. My faith has truly been challenged. I pray for your peaceful rest every day and will go on each day of my life to do the same. I have learned so much more than I ever knew about you, through these sentiments. Although I am not surprised to learn just how much you mean to so many people. I am your sister and i always knew. I loved you unconditionally in life and will love you eternally. Your little sister. E

I will echo the sentiments of my sister Emma. Thank you all for posting your thoughts here. Thank you for sharing all that you feel our our precious brother Luis.

To
the family and friends of Luis, I was saddened to learn of Luis's death
via MySpace earlier this morning. I lived in Edgewood as a teenager and
went to Park View and East with Luis. We may not have been friends, per se,
hung out in different crowds, but we were always friendly, and I'll
never forget his smile and sense of humor - he seemed to be able to
make anyone laugh, and when you saw his smile, you wanted to smile
yourself. I'll bet he grew into a wonderful man and was a great father
- you could tell he had a huge heart fdor those he loved, and there was
a time I needed compassion and he showed it to me, which is something I
have never forgotten, and one of my stronger high school memories. I
often wondered what happened to him, and I'm very sorry and send many
condolences. Like I said, you could tell he was a good person. He'll
never be forgotten.
