Son,

It has been a sad day for me remembering that it's been 10 years since you went home to the lord. Your in a better place and not suffering of
pain. We miss you. I think about you all times that you spend with me at school. Also when you would play with my hair. I miss your voice, jokes and laughs. Remember someday will be together again and also with your Dad. I know you and Dad are looking after Vivian, Memo, and I. Love Mom.

October 22, 2019

Son,

Its been 10 years since you left us. We still thing about you so much and like it was only
yesterday. He is a picture of your brother Memo
he already graduated BISD, from Hanna High School. You will always remain in our hearts.
I thought of you today,but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and days before
that tool. I think of you in silence. I often
speak your name. All I have are memories and
your picture in a frame, your memory is a
keepsake from which I'll never part. God has
you in His arms, I have you in my heart.
Love Vivian, Memo and Mom. We miss you.

I am, still sick and can't walk and your is very upset and depress because she was going to College for LVN and school closed all of sudden and she needed two more months to graduate. So look after her. Memo is real big and still remembers you. He is in 10th grade and goes to Hanna High School. I love you so much and you will always remain in our hearts forever.
Bye now. Love Mom.

was very hard to get up thinking of you the
day I found you on the floor in your room. I miss you so much. I still remember the we would BBQ and see the Dallas Cowboy games together with your Dad. I also remember your smile and jokes and when you
would mess my hair, but most of all sense of humor. You were never mad just like your mom. You will remain in our hearts
forever. You and your Dad take good care
of us, your mom,sister, and Memo.

Your birthday is coming up on Thursday 26th and I made brownies cause I know you use to like them a lot. I miss you so much every day I think about you and see your picture and cry.

It has been a year since you left us and I miss you so much. In a years time it seems like I've been missing you for so long, yet it feels like it was just yesterday you went home. I stay busy with school and I have a "real" job as you would say, but nothing fills the hole in my heart! I know you are in a better place with your grandma and your dad. I spent the weekend with your Mom,Viviana and Memo and they are doing okay considering they miss you and your dad so much, but they know you both are watching over them. Babe I know you are my angel and watching over me and you will be with me forever! Lamar I will always have you in my heart, until we meet again babe...I will love you always, always and always!

Happy Birthday Babe! I spent the weekend with your parents and Memo. They miss you so much we all do. We all went and visited you and sang you Happy birthday. Your mom made your favorite cake that you always talked about. We went to the island and spent the day. I felt like you would meet up with us at any moment and I was waiting for you. I know you were there with us all and I know it made you happy we were all together at your favorite place. It's still hard for me to leave, I know it was harder leaving you when you were still here but it's just as hard now.

going to miss you this Easter Sunday
with the BBQ and your laughs. We love
and will never forget you.

lamar,

Every day that passes doesn't seem to real to me. I was so used to calling u at least once a day just to talk even if it was just a quick sec, than u would say call u later. We all miss u so much, sometimes i think this is all a bad dream that i cant wake up from. I know your at peace and happy, but sometimes i can still look at my phone to see if u called, silly right. I went to see the stone and it is just right for you. And the bobby baby was born on the 31st of Jan. Happy Valentines Day Lamar and i miss u being my big brother so much. love viviana

Love you always & forever,

Lamar,
Hi! son I miss you so much. I wish you
were here to see the Superbowl. I know
you loved to see it and to BBQ for us.
We also miss that cooking of yours. I
wish you could have been here for Memo's birthday party. It was at Mr.
Gatti's and Vivian and Monika came.
Monika drove your car back from Sugarland and got here fine. We were
so happy that we cried when we saw it.
You also have your stone on your grave and picture it looks beautiful.
We will always love you and you will
remain in our hearts forever. "HAPPY
VALENTINES" Love Mom,

I am so sad on these holidays. It will
not be the same. I remember the good times we had together, when making tamales. I will always love you and

Lamar, I miss you so much you were the love of my life and my best friend. We had so many plans for our life together, but there were bigger plans for you. I know you are in a better place at peace, not sick, tired or hurting anymore. You made me so happy babe even if it was just for a short time. I'm honored to have loved, and been loved by such a wonderful man. You taught me so much about life and love and I will always carry that with me. I feel so lost without you and its just so hard to let you go, but I hold on knowing one day I'll see you again. You were the best thing that happened to me and I hope you know how much I love you!
To Mr. & Mrs. Serrano, Vivian and Memo THANK YOU for sharing your son/brother with me and so many others. He touched so many lives in many different ways he was truly an honorable man, be very PROUD I know I am! Thank you for embracing me in your family, as he was already apart of mine. My family loved him from the moment they met him who couldn't, with his contagious smile and warmest heart. I love you always, always and always!
