Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Iz, the Thanksgiving Holiday is tomorrow and I know we all say, what the heck can we be thankful for. This was the worst year in our lives and we'll never be the same. I want you to know that I am thankful for the short time we were together on this earth as cousins, you as the brother we never had, and 29 years just wasn't enough, we had so much more living to do as a family. All the memories you left in our minds and the fun times we shared growing up at RRanch and our Xmas Eves, birthday parties and the pinatas in front of your moms house, our Weekly Sunday Spaghetti Dinners at Popos house, and the time your mom made us put on the boxing gloves and we all tried to beat the crap out of each other especially you and me, and then Aunt Carol opened the door and all 6 or 8 of us went running up and down the block in our pajamas to blow off steam and release all the energy we all had after Uncle Isaac gave us all that Coca Cola. I remember sitting across the table from you when you told us you were expecting Bella, and the day she was born and how you held her in your arms in the hospital, the look on your face was priceless, you wouldn't put her down and didn't really want to share her. I'll be thinking about you and the family tomorrow, I love you guys. Iz we all miss you and there isn't a day that goes by that you and your family are not in my thoughts.

Every time I walk into Bayview, I still expect to run into you there. I still feel like when I turn the corner, I'm going to run into you and DJ laughing and joking around. I still feel like softball season is just around the bend and you will be out there running around with us, acting a fool, making us all laugh. Then reality hits me, and I still can't believe that your gone.

We miss you bro. You and your family are never far from my thoughts.

I remember the boat race. We were all there. That was the best. I remember saving those milk cartons too. He was really was happy you guys didn't win. How could our boats beat his. No way.. ha..ha.. that was funny.
R-Ranch, that watermelon sure took a beating... I remember sitting back saying, "Isaac really did it now." ...it was funny on my end..I didn't have to confess to our neighbors. The shit hit the roof on that one. Its funny how when we got into trouble, and now look back and wish to grab another second with him....
The Holidays are going to be ruff this year. Please give Uncle Isaac, Aunt Carol, Regina, Renata, Bella, and our family the strength to get through. I love you. A

Isaac Halloween came and went, and how we missed to see the big pumpkin you always carved for Bella, it was carved so good we sometimes wondered if you really carved it, ha, ha, ha remember how we use to kid you about that, well the holidays are around the corner, and that will be another big memory. We miss you every day, your daughter is getting so big, and Renata is trying so hard to be strong, but she can only take it one day at a time, but then I think you know that, because I know you can see them from heaven. Watch over them always.

Remember that picture I got Of you pretendidng you were jumping of. That was funny man. I MISS OUR FRIENSHIP. THANKS FOR ALWAYS WATCHING OUT FOR ME ICE I WILL SEE SOON

November 22, 2004

Carol I remember that day when you guys raced the boats. We were all there like usual because we all grew up like sisters and brothers. I remember standing right next to Uncle Isaac while he cheered his son on Gosh I could vividly see in my mind how proud Uncle Isaac was, He was just laughing. There are so many stories to tell and I remember quite a few. I remember at R-Ranch when a really nice lady on the other side of the little stream put a watermelon in the stream to keep it cold. And Isaac and a Friend I think it was Giulerducci down at the stream playing soccer with the watermelon. HAHa The Lady wasnt too happy. Aunt Carol had to talk to her and apologize. Isaac was always into something. Its no wonder he was in all those sports, giving to the homeless and countless other things while working with th PD. We miss Isaac so much. His memories will always stick with me, Forever.

Lately I have talked and seen you in my dreams, I don't know why, but I thank you. It is wonderful, when I wake up, I find my self with sadness that the reality is that you are gone, and the joy that I was able to see you and talk to you, you are so real in my dreams. There is not one day that goes by that you are not missed and remembered about the smallest little thing, then reality hits and end in tears. You are missed so much in our home. Keep talking to me in my dreams.

One of my fondest memories of you was when you were about 8 and Irene and I must have been 10. We saved milk cartons for months so we could make a boat that floated at Marine World Park. Our garage was littered with milk carton's for months. My mom put it together for Irene and I with duck tape and rope just like your mom did. The three of us raced our boats. We all came in last place. But you were so proud of us. You said we were the family that came in last place. Irene and I were sad but you were just happy that we all finished last. I miss you dearly. Every time I drive home I see the placed we raced our boats, and the night you died I saw an angel in the same place, I know you are here with me in my soul, I just wish it was in person. I Love You.

Hey Iz, It really hard for us right now cuz me miss you so much and with the Holiday's coming up it's even harder. You promised me, it was your turn this year and I was to be off the hook, those words go through my head over and over, I can hear your voice, cousin. A nice lady who also lost her son that was an officer told us that we should put up a Blue Star in our window to represent you this Xmas, so I went out and bought your mom/dad a blue star, it was the only one I could find, I am still not done, I am searching hard to make sure I have found the best one out there for you, cuz only the best will do to represent you, I hope you like it cuz, I am so sad you wont be around to give us all that warm hug and beautiful smill. We Miss You dearly and Love you always!

Christmas is coming near and my stomach aches thinking about you not being here to celebrate the good times. It will not be the same. You are so dearly missed by all. We are all sad. This was supposed to be your year. Somehow we will make it through. But in one instant our lives have changed. Sorry your not here, Its not your fault. We miss you, We love you!

November 15, 2004

Isaac, I miss you so much. Each day that passes by you are always on my mind. You are always on my prayers. I love you so much and miss you.

My beautiful, beautiful nephew. I miss you so much and think about you everyday. I so wish you were still here. Christmas is coming and it will be so hard without you there. Life is not the same since you left. My life is not the same since you left.

November 12, 2004

Where do I even start. Well tonight right now is not a good night. I am physically exhausted but cannot go to bed yet because I have so much to do around the house. I am tired. Today was a very hard day, I miss you so much. Bella asked about you tonight as we came home she started to cry and said she missed you. All I could say was I miss your papi too and it is ok to cry. But inside me I was so angry just thinking how unfair it was that she had to live without you. I hate not having you here it is so hard. I was there for you this week like I said I was, I was so scared and nervous but when the time came I knew that I had to be strong and I would be okay. Fortunately, the nightmare was not there it was postponed until a couple of weeks. I was glad. But don't worry I will be there again. For you, for us. I will not give up. The house is coming along well, everything is falling into place, I just wished I would of spent more time talking to you about specific things you wanted around here. It is difficult trying to make house decisions alone. Gosh! I miss you. Thank you for giving me strength each day because you see how much I need it and for watching over Bella and me. I hope tommorrow will be a better day, I will try to smile more and remember your laugh that always helps, I will remember our funny times together. I will see you soon. I love you, and always will.

I saw you last week. It was freezing and windy as I walked up the hill, but as I got closer, the cold and wind disappearred. I was warm, and knew that you were watching over me, thank-you. It looked like it was going to rain, but mother nature held on...I was speechless, but had so much to say. I miss you, and often say to myself, "There is absolutely NO reason why I should be visiting such a young, vibrant person HERE. This place was meant for people who have lived LONG lives. Its not fair..." I wiped your brow and kissed it "goodbye", until next time. Love you brother...
