Robert Yslava Obituary

Robert M. Yslava "Marty" 08-03-88 - 06-26-07 Every day is a gift. Some are more surprising than others. Some are more fun than others. Some are even sadder than others. Either way, we look forward to whatever the good Lord has planned. We may not understand & may have difficulties accepting His plans but we appreciate everyday He shared YOU with us. You are missed, loved and remembered everyday. We'll see you when it's our time to go Home. Love, Mom, Dad, Syris, Ealiyah, sisters, brothers, Elizabeth, niece and nephews

Good morning baby, today is Grandma Rita's birthday. We are going to celebrate with her for lunch on Saturday at Hometown Buffet on Oracle. All your siblings and their children plan to attend. I hope they have room for all of us since I hear there's going to be a lot of us attending. Yep, they plan to get her children, their children and their children's children all there. You know what that means! Lots of eating, talking and definitely lots of laughing.

We'll be thinking about you! Yes, I'm going to be taking the kids and Elizabeth (if she wants to go).

Love you!
Mom

Sorry Mijo that I'm barely getting this done today but I wasn't at work yesterday.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I guess I should be saying Belated Happy Father's Day. You were in our thoughts and prayers. We just wanted to remind you that we know you were and have been a great daddy to your babies. We love you!

Love,
Mom, Dad, and your entire clan!

Okay so here's the update on the most recent birthdays so far in June. Tia Theresa didn't do anything on her actual birthday but we went to go eat at Pinnicle Peak last night. Nina Debe, Grandma Juanita, your dad, Robby, Michael, Anthony and Mike all seemed to enjoy their meals. Nina Debe brought two delicious cakes. I'm not sure what kind they were but boy were they good!

Robby decided on Peter Piper Pizza's on 12th & Ajo so we had a small get together on his actual birthday. Your siblings and their children attended, yes this includes Elizabeth & your kids. As well as Grandma Juanita, Tia Theresa & family, Nina Debe, and his friends from school (Joseph, Fernando, Eddie, Priscilliana, Adriana and Ceanna including her younger brother). Robby picked out his own cake from Costco and received some nice gifts. It's hard to believe your baby brother is now 13 years old!

Last night your sister, Valerie, threw herself a birthday cookout. Christine, George and Ray attended. I understand most of her guests were from Tony's side of the family. We found out at Tia Theresa's dinner that the only one she mentioned the party to was your Tio Mike. I hope all went well for her sake.

We plan to send brother, Bobby, a birthday card for his upcoming birthday and I haven't heard anything about what's being planned for Grandma Rita's birthday.

Your siblings would like to get together for your 2nd year anniversay either on June 26 or the next day, June 27. I'm sure you'll be with us but I'll be sure to give you a written update.

Well I better close for now. Always on our minds. Love you so much!

Mom & the clan!

May 30, 2009

I understand your brothers went to visit yesterday while I was at work. I guess Robby's ordeal this past Thursday was a little hard on George and he needed that extra time with his baby brothers. I'm sure you know that this event just caused your sisters to be more protective like their his mommas. :0) He's so lucky he has you guys.

Thank you for being with your brother.

I'll tell you mijo it was difficult with this one. It brought back too many difficult memories. I hope I never have to see another child in the same situation you were in. I can't believe how hard it is for me now to attend funerals. It was so hard to see Irene's casket be lowered. I couldn't even go inside the funeral home to see her. Silly huh? Say hi to Irene and now your cousin Philip for us.

Love you now and forever,
Mom

Your kids are so funny! On Sunday they went to Marcus' birthday party at Kennedy. You know Robert & Betina's little boy. Anyway Ealiyah was just as tough as the older kids jumping in the jumping castle. It's funny she prefers playing in the dirt even if it's by herself. Too cute! Malikiah and Syris had to run and hug when they saw each other. Then as if they didn't want to be see pushed each other away so they couldn't been seen being loving. What boys!

Monday, your sisters, brothers, all your nephews and niece went with me to take a birthday cake to Syris. He's going to have a birthday party on May 23 but he has to share it with 2 cousins. That didn't fly with us, we feel he needed his special day celebrated! His birthday gift was to spend the night at Tia Tine and Tia Valerie's house. No problem! He loved it! Elizabeth thought he would be crying to go home but no tears. You got love it!!!!!

Well baby boy that's my most recent update. Say hi to Irene for us and tell her she's going to be missed. We're glad she was having fun at Veronica's reception that Saturday night (May 16) she was called home.

I'll have to give you an update about Grandma when I have more time but I know you already know so maybe you should ask the Good Lord to give me some type of clue as to how her path will be shaped now.

Love you and miss you a lot!
Mom

Your brothers got back from Washington DC the evening of May 8, 2009. They said they had a ball. Cool pictures were taken. The raining weather didn't seem to bother them. Robby really enjoyed the air flights (first time flyer) and George really enjoyed the many aspects of the entire trip. It was awesome spending Mother's day at the cemetary with your sisters, brothers, nephew and niece. The day was beautiful and the hamburgers were tasty & juicy. I had all my babies close by. I really tried hard not to cry but when it was time to say good-bye I was the biggest baby there. We love You!!!!!!

May 4, 2009

Anthony's First Holy Communion turned out really nice on Saturday, May 2, 2009. He decided on Golden Corral afterwards and well you how that is! Elizabeth and the kids were able to join us. You should have seen the two when they were eating the cake and ice cream cones. I hope our pictures turn out. Just an FYI, your Nina Debe cheated this year by buying the decors for the cake but getting Safeway to make it. It was chocolate cake with white frosting but boy was it good (real moist). Robby picked out Anthony's gift, a beautiful cross with an angel on it. Michael has is Holy Confirmation coming up very soon. I'm so proud of our guys!

On Sunday, May 03, 2009, as you know, the boys left to Washington D.C.. We all knew you were with us on the way to meet the group with that special song. You member the one that came on right before getting to the school. You did it on purpose, you wanted us to look like we were doing a Colgate commercial. They made it to D.C. earlier than expected, even with rain. Robby didn't get any sleep because he said he didn't want to miss a thing. He was able to sit by the window on the way to Washington D.C. from Dallas, TX. He tried getting a picture of the lights below but it didn't turn out. I don't know who was more excited to go Robby or George. I'll have to keep you updated as the week progresses. Raymond is staying with us and you should see your dad. Boy you can tell it's been a long time since he's had a baby, or I should say a little one, in the house. :0)

Well baby until the next time. Keep sending those reminders that you're here wtih us. We love you!

April 26, 2009

LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!!
GUESS WHO? THAT'S RIGHT IT'S YOUR MOMMA. I SURE HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU A LOT THESE LAST FEW DAYS. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR COMING AND VISITING ME DURING ONE OF MY DREAMS. THE HUG WAS GREAT AND IT FELT SOOOOO REAL:O) I LOVED IT!!!!

MISS YOU MY BABY. LOVE YOU SO MUCH! SORRY THE TEAR DUCTS ARE ON OVERLOAD. I REALLY DO MISS YOUR SMILE AND YOUR LAUGHTER. I LOOK AT ROBBY AND I WONDER HOW TALL YOU WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE GOTTEN. HE'S 5'8" AND WEARS A 9 1/2 SHOE. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? YEP, GEORGE IS STILL SHORT. HE HAS LOST SOME WEIGHT THOUGH. CHRISTINE SEEMS TO BE STAYING AT HER HEIGHT TOO AND WELL VALERIE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR TINY ONE. I THINK THE KIDS ARE ALL GOING TO BE TALLER THAN HER (chuckle & big smile). IT'S AMAZING HOW BIG ALL THE KIDS ARE GETTING. SORRY THIS VISIT IS SO SHORT BUT I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. I HAD TO WORK TODAY.

VISIT SOON. LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
YOUR MOMMA

April 18, 2009

Hey baby! The weather today is beautiful! Thank God!!!! Today dad, your sisters and brothers with David, Auggie, Malimo, Raymond, Michael & Anthony are at the school doing a car wash. The last of two before their May 3 trip to Washington, DC. The next one is the day before they leave on May 2. Please ask the Good Lord for beautiful weather that day for us. Thank you. I just wanted to say hi and to let you know that even when we're busy you are always on our minds. Oh Yeah! Robby's cast came off yesterday. Poor guy he helped me do three posters yesterday for today's event. His left hand (the one the case was on)was killing him before we even got through the second poster. You understand being a south paw yourself. But he stuck it out! :0) You would be so impressed on how well he draws mijo. And that he can write just as well with the right hand. You two have a lot in common. Robby is looking so grown up. It's hard to believe he's going to be 13 in June. Well I better say bye for now. I have to leave work to go pick up the tribe. They're probably starving! :0) You know all abou that don't you! :0) :0)

I LOVE YOU ----- WE LOVE YOU

Your LOVING Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARTY
It was a nice peaceful Easter Day for us.
And Im sure that yours was ever so peaceful
up in heaven. Mom had to work but she did not care about her sleep today as usual she prepared her Menudo the night before. And our Easter dinner was the best... No drama is what I asked for & that is exactly what I received today. Could you tell God that he made my day. Thanks Marty for all my answered prayers. I love you and I have been missing you so darn much these past 10 long months that you have been apart from us. Some day I will see you again when I too step into the heavens with you and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Happy Happy Easter up in heaven!!!
I miss you so much & you must know it cause you are in my dreams every night these days. But It's a good thing cause every dream that your in is a good dream.
I love you Marty! Well I guess that I will see you again tonight in another dream.

April 11, 2009

Well it's the day before Easter and we're all here celebrating Marcus and Mike's birthdays. Nina Debe made some awesome cakes for them. Ninja Power for Marcus and a sexy lady on a bed with beer for Mikey. The weather has been great; a little rain but up high snow so some will have a white Easter this year. Nana and Tata have invited us to their place for Easter. Malimo is camping with his dad for Easter so sister is enjoying but yet sad without him around. Talking about Malimo Grandpa George and Grandma Pam want him to go stay in Roosevelt with them. We'll see how that goes.

Elizabeth and the kids are in a nice complex; their two bedroom and two bathroom apartment is a roomy. Narrow kitchen I don't think more than two people can be in there at one time. I'm very proud on how well she's doing with the kids. I'm sure you are too. The kids are getting tall and sooooo handsome and beautiful!!! I'm not prejudice or anything just because I'm grandma but I've heard strangers say the exact same thing :o)

Well I better say goodbye for now; there's others who want to use Nina Theresa's computer. We love you and you're always on our minds.

With all our love and Prayers we wish you a very Blessed Easter! Forever in our hearts!!!!!!!!!!

Love, your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and entire CLAN!!!

I just wanted to say I was thinking of you and you were definitely with us during the birthday celebrations. Memories are a great way to keep your loved ones living strong.

We miss you and you are always in our hearts.

Love you, Mom and your clan

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUERITO!!!!!

But only as happy as we make it, right baby?! It's up to us to keep our heads up high, to walk with pride, and, most importantly, to live life right so we can see & be with you when it's our time.

I thought it would be easier than the first year but I was wrong. However, I do find a way to make it a little easier each day and that's remembering that no matter where I am or what I do that you are always with me and taking a glance at your picture whenever I get the chance gives it that special touch.

In my heart you'll always be so forget me nots will never cease. We love you very much and really really miss you baby.

With so much love,
Mom, Dad, Syris, Ealiyah, Elizabeth, Valerie & family, Bobby, Christine & Family, George & famly, Robby and Eyrka.

Hey I forgot to mention that Ealiyah's 1st birthday (11/20/08) party on November 22 turned out really nice. It was held at Carol's and the kids loved playing outside in the parking lot area. The following attended from our side of the family: Theresa, Mike and the boys; Eryka, Raymond, George, Robby, Christine, Joey and myself. Your little Princess looked so cute in her birthday outfit. She is going to be tall like Elizabeth's tia and cousin(s). We can already tell; she's in 24 month to 3T sizes. Unbelievable! That's your girl. Syris better start growing again or sister is going to pass him soon. We are very proud of Elizabeth and how well she is taking care of herself and the babies. I'm sure you are too! Good Job Son! Well I better close for now. Love, your mom.

November 28, 2008

Belated Happy Thanksgiving! Well it happened for the first real time in front of people I did not know (just my luck). I actually forgot you were not with us physically. I started looking for you to point you out and then got tongue twisted when trying to get out of it. Boy reality BITES sometimes!!!! As you know it was a nice day even with the gentle rain the Good Lord Blessed us with. We sure missed you especially since Elizabeth, Syris and Ealiyah spent the holiday with Carol; not to worry though Eryka and Raymond were with them too. Well I have to say adios for now. With all my love and heart, your mom. I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH (arms reached out as far as they can go)!!!!!!! :o)

Hi mijo, I sure miss you every now and again I find myself just thinking of you and lately I've been calling your little bro Marty so I thought I would just write a little note to let you know your not forgotten I know I haven't been by to see you but I am sure it will be soon. So I see your Dad and Tata got the engine pretty cool I can't wait to see it rolling down the street.
Love you Tia Theresa

MARTY YSLAVA

October 19, 2008

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

By Christina Rossetti
The Poetry Foundation

October 17, 2008

"Hi my gringo" says dad who was able to get an engine for your car with the help of your Tata Ray. It was Tata's way of showing your dad something pretty darn special. We also wanted to share that your baby girl is walking and running. She's pretty good on her feet. Her brother is always testing her stability but he takes good care of her too! It's hard to believe sometimes that next month she will be one year old. It's Peter Piper Pizza time - you know it!!!
Hey it's finally starting to cool down. I feel sorry for the kids when they go out for Halloween. Wrapping it up but as always love you and miss you. We pray for you and you're always in our thoughts mijo. Love Mom & Dad

love your cousin

MARTY YSLAVA

September 5, 2008

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

You have been on my mind a lot lately. I think a lot of it has to do with Grandma being in the hospital for the last two weeks however she should be going home today or tomorrow. I wonder what you would be doing today and if you would look more mature or should I say fatherly especially with that little girl of yours around now. She is growing so fast and is quite tall for her age. I think your little ones are going to be taller than what we're use to. Syris is starting to look more like you again and well Elizabeth says Ealiyah looks just like her Grandma Elisa; yet we think she looks a lot like Liz. I sure miss seeing you interact with your son and would have loved to see how you would have reacted & interacted with Ealiyah. I hurt when I think of not being able to watch you grow more experienced as the great father you showed us you could be while you were here. I know you're still looking out for them and that helps bring me comfort. I love you and miss you a hell of a lot! Kisses and hugs (all over that handsome face) with much love from your momma who's staying strong and maintaining. God Bless you baby. Mom

As the year has gone by I have watched as you hold back your tears, keep a smile on your face, and comfort your husband and children. You have stayed strong but remember you have so many people who love you and that will be there for you. I love when we, the immediate family, sit and are able to talk about those special times we shared with Marty, especially his favorite story about our camping trip in Klondyke and the skunk. He was God sent and brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and the lives of many. I really miss him. Love you with all my heart.
