Vincent, my brother my friend, co-pilot, navigator, and handy man, I miss you already I'll miss are trips up to the camper are arguing on the way up to the camper and at the camper you were a jack of all trades. When I needed a hand you were there to help. I miss you you'll always be in my heart and memory's Love you forever. Connie

My memories of Vincent as a child was of him always smiling. He was always kind to me and all the younger cousins. As an adult I can still hear my father telling a story of Vincent when he was a child to his dismay. As all around chuckled Vince lowered his head and smiled to let my dad have his moment. To me that was Vincent. Quiet, kind, and smiling. A good man. I can picture him and my brother Michael pulling up a chair and Uncle Victor dealing some cards. Salud!!

Prayer for you and your family brother John,

Sovereign Lord,

I lift up the Martinez family to you.

I ask for your supernatural protection and love to shower over the Martinez family.
May you carry them through these days of deep grieving.

Draw the Martinez family together as they move through their sadness and grief.

Lord, I pray that the Martinez family can easily feel everyone's love extended toward them this day.

As friends of the family, remind us to stand by this family and pray for this family. Help us to find ways of extending companionship and expressing support.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Armando

Where do I start, so much going on in my mind, so much emotion. We lovingly referred to you as Oscar the Grouch, but your heart was as tender as a lamb.
There will not be a day that we won't miss you but our comfort is you are now at peace, no more suffering, no more Hospitals, nor more Dr Visits, no more Meds, no more poking with needles, etc, etc. Your body is at rest, your spirit soars, like never before. You are reunited with so many other of our loved ones who preceded you in eternal rest. Days before, I visualized them waiting and preparing for your arrival, where they excitedly and happily couldn't wait to welcome you home. Well your journey, work, life, lessons and teachings, in this human life is done, your glory is won. Enjoy your new life, it has only just began. With tears and a broken heart, we say So long for now, until we are united again. Until then know you will never be forgotten as many of our loved ones never will be, you remain with us in spirit, but most importantly in our hearts. Send us the strength to comfort one another as only you would want. Enjoy your Fiesta in heaven, as that is what I imagine is going on. Though we are filled with sadness, broken hearts and tears, I will celebrate the life and time we had with you and the one you have began. I LOVE YOU,WITH ALL MY HEART, THANK YOU, FOR BEING MY BIG BROTHER, THANK YOU, FOR YOUR LOVE AND MEMORIES. TEARS... Your Little Sister Rosie <3 XOXOXOX
