I have never met you, but we share the same blood. My father misses you, greatly, and in a sense, I miss your presence. I can imagine that traiste mucha alma a mi familia, y que te extranen mucho. Que Dios te bendiga, Beto. Nosotros te amo.

I am pleased with God who gave me the chance of knowing Beto and his lovely family. I will never forget those funny moments where we laugh at Beto´s house in Bogota. Not to talk about the overwhelming professional he became with strength and persistance. Proud of him. God bless him !!!

On Sunday, I along with 150 other singers from mid-Michigan performed Mozart's Requiem as part of the Rolling Requiem project. I was fortunate to have Carlos's name in my program, which was in my music folder. As I held Carlos's name in my hands while I sang the last words and music written by Mozart, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It was a transformative moment. I will always remember where I was on Sept 11, 2001. And now I will remember where I was on Sept 11, 2011, thinking of Carlos, holding both he and his family in my thoughts. Some sang for the meaning. Some sang for the sheer beauty. All sang in remembrance.

Back in 1985, Carlos, better known at "Beto" (short for Alberto) was a pizza delivery man working for Domino's in Baldwin Park while attending Cal Poly University & renting a room in Covina. He drove around in his little, beat-up, green, VW Bug. I can never forget that car for many reasons but most importantly for me because my first driving lessons were with Beto, who took the time to show me how to drive stick. I can never forget who Beto was for many reasons but most importantly for me because he was my first love, my first everything.
I was in high school working part-time at Domino's & that is where I met Carlos Alberto Montoya, "Beto". It was his green eyes, great smile and personality that stood out and that accent, his accent was a charm. We did a lot of things together during our 2 year relationship: he took me to my first concert; The U2 Joshua Tree Tour in LA. U2 was one of his favorite groups and he loved to listen to Phill Collins. My first time on an air plane was with Beto, he loved to fly & his dream was to become a pilot but do to health issues that later arose, that would. I new Beto, I loved him & back than I never would have realized how very much important that chapter in my life with him would be. Beto was someone that was never far from my mind, I thought about him, how he was doing, where his life had taken him and always hoped the best for him. I often reminisced on those days at Domino’s the people and friends we made, the memories. I spoke of him to my boyfriend, more so because they had so much in common; both born in Bogota & both have the same green eyes.
And up until this Sept. 4th, Beto still crossed my mind and it was just these few days ago that I was informed by another former Domino’s worker and friend to Beto that he had been one of thousands who’s life ended in that tragedy………..to hear that devastated me, to say the least. I can not express to you how I am feeling, I am in disbelieve and very much so sadden especially more so that it has been 6 years since that tragedy & this whole time I never new. Even though this comes late, my condolences go to all of his family. Beto will always be much remembered, I can never forget him, Siempre. Adriana

Aunque solo hasta ahora me entero de tan triste noticia, solo me quedan los agradable recuerdos de nuestra juventud que pasamos felices en Las Villas Bogotá, con todos nuestros amigos comunes, recuerdo mucho la miniteca que montamos los dos y las noches enteras grabando la música para las fiestas que animábamos, que días aquellos y luego en la Universidad Javeriana cuando estudiábamos juntos, que gratos momentos los que compartimos, las rumbas, las amigas, tu viaje a los Estados Unidos buscando un mejor futuro y estudiar lo que querías, espero que todos estos años que no nos vimos hayan sido muy felices y que tu familia haya soportado con fortaleza tu pronta partida, recuerdos a Margarita tu Mamá gran persona a tus hermanos y tu esposa e hijos que el futuro les depare muchos éxitos. Nunca te olvidaremos, Beto.

I received a red/white and blue wristband with Carlos Montoya's name on it at Mass 5 years ago. I have memorized his name and have remembered him in my evening prayers every day since this terrible tragedy. May God continue to bless and strenghten his family.

May God rest your soul Carlos. At this time of the year I always remember the cousin I barely knew who I lost. Last time I saw you we were teenagers (over 20 years ago) and we were playing soccer in our home country (Colombia) with your brother and mine. I was so impressed by you. The way you took care of your father and conducted yourself so maturely. When I found out you were on that plane I couldn't believe it. What a loss. My mother in particular was so devastated to hear the news. I can only take solace in knowing you are in a better place than we are. You are truly missed.

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

I'm wearing a sterling silver "Mercy Band" with Carlos' name and AA#11 on it. I wear this in memory of him and although I know nothing about him, I know he was an American, a human being created by God, a son, someone who was loved and loved in return. God Bless Carlos' soul and the family he left behind.
