Teeny's Team Softball Tournament / Teenysmama (Mom) The tournament this year was a blast sweetheart. We all go out there in your honor. So many people miss you and love you. I know you are looking down from heaven and smiling
Robin and Louis, Im so sorry to hear about Mark / David Hughes (Basketball coach )
I coached Mark in the Washoe Jr. basketball league back in Junior High. He was a great kid and the best player on the team, I did not see him much in High School but watched as he excelled all through High School. Mark will also be remembered as a respectful young man. I know you will see him again someday.
Rememberance/ Jack Petrie (Uncle) Mark. I keep you, your mom and dad and your sister in my thoughts and often pray for all of you. I am sorry we did not know each other as closly as we could have. I am happy to have know you as much as I did. You all were special to me. I love ALL my family and am sad that I never seem to have the time or opportunity to really know all of them. I especially enjoyed our annual family reunions and only wish we still had them going on. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers always. Uncle Jack
You will be with us in Cabo. / Mom (Marks mom ) I have made a small poster that I laminated to go on the tables in Cabo this week when your father and I renew our marriage vows... There will be a flyer at each table, so that everyone will know that you are still with us.
Here are the poems I wrote on it, and the pictures I put on it.
Please don’t cry Just have a beer The reason why? Cuz Mark waz here
and the other poem is a toast to you, ...
Standing here with so much pleasure, We add today to memories we treasure. The only thing that’s missing is our son, But he would want us to just have fun. We know he wouldn’t want us to shed a tear, And that’s all right cuz we know he is here. So raise your glasses now with me, And toast our son, whom we love totally.
Grief is so unpredictable / Mom (Mark's Mom ) Grief is something you just don't know when it is going to surprise you and sneak up on you when you don't expect it.
It hit me today without warning. I know that one thing that really is hard to accept for a grieving mother is mourning for things that will never be.
I was at Bethany and Nick's wedding today. It was lovely. I was really enjoying myself and was so happy for this sweet couple. Heather was so beautiful as a bridesmaid. I saw so many old and dear friends. The day was going just great. Then they had the Groom and his mother dance. The emotions just overwhelmed me. Realizing that I will never have that dance with Mark. An event in a mother's life that she looks forward to.
I can't wait till Mark and I meet up again in Heaven. And share as many dances as we want for eternity.

What a beautiful tribute and wonderful way to keep the memories alive. I know what it was like to lose a parent, and that was really hard for me. I cannot even imagine how much more difficult it would be to lose a child... I feel your pain and your loss - I am so sorry. I pray for you to have the strength to keep going...
blessings to you / Kathy
always be strong......knowing that our loved ones are never gone but by our side......we love them ,we never let their memory fade....god bless Close

Sorry to hear of your lost / Mark Martinez (Passer by )
Dear Robin,
Honestly I was just doing a search of my name which is Mark Anthony Martinez but everyone call me Tony and came accross your dedication to your son and it is very touching.
Sorry to hear of your lost but your son is proud of you for keeping his memory alive and strong.
I just had to write something and could not look away.
as we all know... you are still with us... im not so sure you can read e-mail bro, but i know you have your way of mixing things up... like when you pictures fall off of the fridge or you change the channel on you parents TV so when they turn it on they remember... Friday at Burning Man is for you... we're taking anything and everything in a green bottle to the temple and its your night... so, Mark, if you did get around to reading this we'll see you on the playa... we'll probably see you there anyway. Happy Bday
Tributes and Condolences
