If somehow we can communicate write me at [email protected] I'm Luis your uncle 'Yeyas' first cousin.
Hope to hear from you soon,
God Bless

I feel like talking to you. 13 years ago the footprints of my life forever changed. Your absence has impacted our lives so much. We remember you each day! I live your absence each day of my life. I know We honor you best by honoring and taking care of the person who gave you life. She loves you so much, even with her late stage Alzheimer’s she still calls out your name. I see you in my boys. You would have been a great uncle to them. It's not how God intended it to be but he alone knows why? Till we meet again my brother.

I met Willie in 1986. In a small christian church in ENY on Pitkin Ave. He was such a good kid. He would come over our house and hangout with my wife and me. And my two small boys at the time. When he was in the NYPD academy, he used to come over a few times a week to use our type writer. We loved him so much. Always a faithful friend over the years. We love you Willie.

Still an empty feeling my brother 10 yrs and you would think it would feel different but it does not. The pain is there still , like it were yesterday. Now I'm a mother of two wonderful boys that remind me of you everyday! You would have been a great uncle with them! If heaven only had visiting hours :-(

By next month, November 24,2004, my father had died for eight years. I can't believed that it has been. Everything had changed for me since he died. Dad, if you are somewhere in heaven reading this, I miss you very much and you'll always be my guardian angel for me, our family, and our NYPD family. I love you.

6 yrs and I keep coming back, wishing these words get to you. I've missed you so much,words cannot describe.Going on with life only because I have to, but it's still very difficult. Tears still swell in my eyes,my arms yerning to hold you near. There is a part of you in me that no one will ever know,and I cherish more than any fine gold. Sometimes anger wants to take over because I feel you left so soon, because you left me behind to deal with the pain. The pain ...oh so hard to describe. But, I look forward to the day I'll see you again, and embrace you with all the love you left behind. You will 4ever be the one who stole my heart and ran. Loving you until the end of time.
