THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN FILL THE VOID MY TIA AND PRIMOS MUST FEEL DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME, YOU ARE ALL IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS DURING THIS TIME OF SORROW...MY TIO MARTIN LEFT A PART OF HIM ON THIS EARTH THAT WILL LIVE ON = HIS FAMILY, WIFE, CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND MOST OF ALL, HIS MEMORIES. HE IS NOT GONE, HE WILL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS ALWAYS!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU , I LOVE YOU ALL AND PRAY FOR GOD TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS AND HEAVY HEARTS....
They say memories are golden ,well maybe that is true.I never wanted memories,I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,a million times I cried.If love alone could have saved you,you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,In death I love you still.In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,and nothing seems the same.But as God calls us one by one,the chain will link again.

Our deepest condolences to the entire Gomez family. Your father/husband was quite the character. We enjoyed listening to his stories at the family gatherings at Kathy and Ramiro's house. We will all miss him.
