March 7, 2020 Carlos, your Son departed from earth to be with you.  Please welcome him with welcome arms.  Your Sister 

Hi Dad, A year has passed since u went to be with our Lord.. How we miss you everyday. Mary friends (Debbie, Natie) planted a tree on ur anniversary in the backyard for ur memories to carry on "Thank you girls for a awesome and heart warming gift".. Fernando keeps it up! We're all hanging in there dad..Tough sometimes but with u beside us, we could accomplish anything... Love you dad so much and miss you everyday... Love, Carmen

Well Bro I can't believe it's been a year since you left us.  A memorial tree was planted at the house and the family continues to grow. I hope your by Mom/Dad and loved ones and very happy, young again, walking strong, pain free! I miss you saying, Sister Sister (you always said it twice).  
Love your baby Sister.

Well Dad, another holiday pass and gone. Johnny and I had our own Thanksgiving by ourselves, watching the Football game. Just isn't the same without u here with us... I know ur watching down on us and hearing our words, pain, seeing our tears. Almost 7 months since u left us and went to heaven. I will never stop missing u and wanting u back, being selfish. I can't help it.. These tears just don't stop now. These pains just won't go away. Wishing I could just bring u back. But knowing ur free of Pain, No more suffering, no more heartaches, No more Tears, just HAPPINESS.. Is all I ever wanted for u... Love you Dad and miss u so much...

Saturday, Nov. 30th.  Well we made it through the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I spent it at Roberts house and we watched the Cowboys game.  The boys recollected how you always got them all Cowboy Jackets etc and would watch the game with them even though your favorite team was the Green Bay Packers.  I can tell you that you did okay as any parent hopes to do by their children.  Loving and missing you always Bro, your Sister.

Sept 12th was 4 months since u went to heaven to be with grandma/pa.. How I miss u.. I still listen to ur message u left on my cell phone. Hearing ur voice is so comforting.. U r in a better place and in peace and full of joy. We miss u so much but knowing u r sent free of sorrow and pain is all we ask for. Until we see each other again dad, I will always visit u daily.. Love you dad, carmen

It's been 4 months today we laid your body to rest.  I pray your Soul is calmed and your Spirit at peace. Rejoice with the Lord and don't let our grief hinder your journey in any way, we will be fine and remember you always Bro.  Love your Sister Molly.

Happy Fathers Day. Luv u miss u aiot. You the best Dad in the world. thank u God for giving us our Dad.

I am so glad to know that before you left this world you accepted the lord.  For I can just imagine the Father and Jesus holding their arms out to recieve you.  No more tears only peace to be with our Father who art in Heaven.  Queta Ortega with Love

Happy Fathers day Dad.... Love You and Miss you everyday.....

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You are greatly missed by everyone. You will forever be the worlds best grandpa I love you and you will forever be in our hearts<3

Dear Grandpa, 
 I miss you so much, I wish you didn't have to go so soon but your parents and God called you home. I really miss the memories we always had together, watching Shakira ha and you telling me one day I should become a model! I feel so devastated inside because everytime I went up to tell you goodbye I just couldn't. I couldn't bare the fact that you were gone! But I think to myself maybe it was a good thing I didn't say goodbye because this is not goodbye I will see you again sometime grandpa, I love you. You will always be my angel! 
Love, your granddaughter Desirae

I often find myself thinking about you on a daily basis. You are greatly missed. I love you grandpa and your memory will forever live on. You are forever in our hearts<3

In your remembrance for the upcoming Father's Day.  Thank you for having been their for my children, when their father decided to end his relationship with us.  We ourselves disagreed on things at time but our love for one another was never ever in doubt.  Love and miss more than anyone can imagine my bro, Love your Baby sister Molly.

Dad, this candle will always be lighted up day and night. Many weeks have passed but it always feels like u just left us yesterday... I know you are in heaven now and free of pain, sorrow.. Better place with God,grandparents watching over us. I'm just so sorry that I wasn't there more for you at the end.. Please forgive me. You will never be forgotten NEVER!! Love you dad... Thank you for raising us all and making us who we are today....

To my Tio Lupe, thank you for all the loving memories shared with you and the rest of the family. My favorite one was with Lupita, Anita, Carmen and Tia Esther in December of 2011. All of us girls lit fireworks @ 10pm and we were laughing and giggling. Then I got home and my father (Louie) said fireworks @ Christmas time? I started laughing and my dad said that's not funny!! You kept my brother up and Lupe needs rest. Another great time was with Tia Esther, Carlos, Mary, Miguel, Fernando, Anita, Carmen, Lupita, Tio Lupe and myself. We laughed for hours and told stories and had family time. Tio you will be missed, God needed another Soldier and he chose you. May you rest with peace Tio Lupe, Love Louie & Minnie and Grace Martinez

To the Martinez Family
Our deepest sympathy to your family.  I work with Danny and after attending the service today, I was touched by the love in the room and your faith in God.  I truly believe the greatest legacy a person can leave to their family and friends is their faith shown by their service to others in Jesus' name..

Dad love u will miss u alot. Thank u God for giving me the best Dad on the world.

Dad how we are going miss u alot. God needed you more.Thank u Dad for being a father to my son. U took him everywhere with u. And u never walk out on us kids and u rsise ten of us always have food roof over our head, ect. With one income. Dad thank u for putting up with me.

Grandpa, you will be dearly missed, and our memories saved close to our hearts, you are a wonderful man to an extent that no words can express, we will all miss your presence but in all of our hearts you will live, I love you.

Dear Martinez family,
Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are sorry to hear of your father's passing. We rejoice in knowing that he is with our Lord but recognize also how hard that this may be for all of you. Please know we are praying for each of you.

I am so sorry to all of you for your loss. Through the years Molly has shared stories about her wonderful family and her dear brother with us at work.  Please take comfort that he is with God.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during these trying times.  May love surround the family, may faith sustain you  and may hope encourage you day to day.  Rest in Peace Lupe, God is with you.

Grandpa, I know we weren't super close, but we were still pretty close. I am so blessed that we got to spend time together and make many memories together. You created such a big blessed family and I thank you for that. I am really sad that you had to leave so soon, but God, and your Parents needed your help up there in Heaven to watch over all of us making sure we are safe and to lead us in the right direction. Grandpa I miss you dearly but I know we will meet again someday Then you and God can show me how to watch over the family. Rest in Peace grandpa. Your grand daughter Alexis.

To my dearest father thank you for always being there for all of us, you went home to grandma and grandpa and now you are our guardian angel watching over all of us, you will never be forgotten. Miss you so much dad love you and i will see you soon. Love you

Our thoughts and prayers are with Lupe's family. May faith sustain you , may hope encurage you day by day. May love surround the family during this trying time. May he rest in peace. GOD be with you!

To my Uncle Lupe, thank you for all the wonderful memories. Hiking at the white tank mountains to just hanging on the side of the house watching the boys play basketball. I'm sorry as I grew up and have a family of my own I became busy in my own world. But just know that I love you and you will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to all my family, you are all in my prayers.

I send my condolences and prayers to the familia Martinez. While it has sadden me to hear of his passing, I rejoice for Senor Martinez is in a much better place where there is no pain, suffering, sickness and sorrow.  As my daughter Lucinda wrote "Ya se que estas caminando las calles de oro", AMEN to that for one day, we too, will be walking the streets of gold. To the family I would like to say losing a loved one hurts, no one understands the loss that is felt, but God does.  I would like to share a verse with you if I may... 
Psalms 30:5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
In the morning joy cometh, Lupe(his daughter) the Lord hears you, knows your heart, knows every tear you have shed, it has not been in vain my sister, and once again I tell you Lupita to remember JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. I apologize that I will not be able to make it to the services but I send my prayers and love to you all.

THIS CANDLE WILL ALWAYS BE LIT UP FOR YOU TIO LUPE. REST IN PEACE

To Martinez Family my deepest sympathy on the loss of Mr Martinez.

First we would like to say how sorry we are that we could not make it today to be by your side, but our thoughts and prayers are with every single one of you.  Words are hard to put together during hard times like this and words alone cannot heal the pain you guys are going through.  All of Chris' Tios hold a special place in his heart since they all filled in and acted like a father to Chris while growing up. This also meant that Chris picked up 10 brothers and sisters from Tio Lupe and Tia Esther, not just 10 cousins.  Now that everyone has grown up and we are getting older, we all are guilty of getting caught up with life and our own families, and do not get to see each other as often as we wish. We are sad that times like this is the only times that everyone is able to get together and we are not able to be there today.   
Chris will always remember the weekends during the summer spending time with Tio Lupe, Tia Esther and the boys.  Chris remembers shooting hoops on the side of the Tio Lupe's house and waking up in the morning after a sleep over to find Tio in the kitchen reading the newspaper with his morning cup of coffee while Tia cooked breakfast. Going on trips up north to go shooting and hiking are some of the best childhood memories Chris has. He will always hold a special place in his heart for his Tio.

My Dearest Brother Lupe, how my heart has ached from your departure and at the same time rejoiced for you are released of all pain and suffering.  Thank You for having cared and loved me so much.  Love your baby Sister
