Comfort from the Bible  / Alisha Washington (no relation )
Hello my name is Alisha Washington. I saw that you have suffered a lost in the family and I wanted to share my condolences. There are scriptures in the bible that will bring you comfort during this trying time two of those scriptures are found at John 5:2829 which reads "Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out those who did good things to a resurrection of life those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” And the other at Rev. 21:45 states "[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’ And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also he says: ‘Write because these words are faithful and true.’”

It is our privilege as Jehovah's Witnesses to share in a work that people are being invited to benefit from a program that helps people learn the Bible’s answers to such important questions as: Why do we sometimes suffer and die? What is the purpose of life? How can you find real happiness?

We engage in this activity because we are genuinely interested in our neighbors. Our work is not commercial. It is our hope that those two scriptures console you and that someday soon we will be able to talk to you personally. Please feel free to get in touch with us at www.watchtower.org or 919-779-9718


Sincerely
Alisha Washington

Your Birthday  / Theresa (Momma)

My sweet Nino boy. Your birthday was difficult for me. I miss you so much. I wanted so bad to hug you and give you a kiss and tell you how much momma loves her Nino boy just like I use to always do. I wanted to hear your happy noises again and see that sweet smile of yours that always made my heart melt. I wanted so bad to have you here with us for your 16th birthday and it hurt me so much that it wasn't possible. I am grateful to the Lord for carrying me through that difficult time and putting peace in my heart. I know that he celebrated with you in his own way and had his angels sing you "Happy Birthday" for me. I had a little candlelight memorial for you at your resting site and it was comforting to see everyone there. I know you are not forgotten. We played the song "Precious Child" sang "Happy Birthday" blew out our candles and released 16 balloons for you. It was short but sweet and I am truly grateful for everyone who was there to share it with us. I know you were there watching us celebrate you. I miss you so much. I hope you had a Happy Birthday playing in heaven my sweet angel. Momma loves you.

Happy Birthday Nino  / Adrian Alonso (Daddy)

Wanted to  wish you a Very Happy 16th Birthday. I know that you will enjoy this birthday more than your last now that you are able to play with all the other Angels up above with out any pain or sickness. And even though we are not there to watch you do all that you were unable to do while here with us we all still have you in our hearts and we will forever feel you close and know that you are enjoying yourself.

Tomorrow we will still try to have a little birthday party for you as if you were here with family Chocolate cake and balloons. We'll even save you a piece. I know that you won't be here to eat it but it will be here for you just in case.

Everyday I think of all the wonderfull memories that you have blessed me with and I also think about the last few months that we had together. I know that last few months were so tough for all of us to know that our time together was coming to an end but now lately I try so hard not to think of those last few months and I try to think of how you would look as the healthy strong and perfect young man that you are today. How I wish that I can see you now and give you a big hug and tell you thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. I love you son and can't wait to see when God decides its time for our family reunion.

Love

Daddy.

MY NINO  / MISTY SANTACRUZ (THIA)
MY NINO I HAD A DREAM OF YOU THE OTHER DAY WITH MY NIECE LILY SHE WAS HOLDING YOUR HAND AS YOU WERE WALKING TOWARDS ME. YOU LOOKED SO HANDSOME AS YOU ALWAYS DID AN SHE WAS SO BEAUTFUL. YOU WERE TALKING TO ME. OH I WISH I COULD'VE HEARD YOUR VOICE THAT WOULD'VE MADE ME SO HAPPY. THIS WHOLE FAMILY ACHES WITHOUT YOU HERE. WE ACT LIKE WE WENT ON WITH OUR LIVES LIKE YOU WOULD'VE WANTED US TO, BUT DEEP DOWN WE ARE HEART BROKEN. NOTHING IS THE SAME WE HARDLY DO ANYTHING AS A FAMILY ANYMORE. THERE'S HARDLY ANY LAUGHTER. IT'S LIKE WE DON'T WANT EACH OTHER TO KNOW THAT WE ARE CRUMBLING INSIDE. WE ARE TRYING TO STAY STRONG FOR EACH OTHER. I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE YOU PASSED TO SEE YOUR HEADSTONE CAUSE I NEVER SEEN IT BFORE. I COULDN'T STAY LONG CAUSE ALL I COULD DO WAS CRY.  I CRY ALMOST EVERYDAY CAUSE YOUR ALWAYS ON MY MIND. AN ITS FUNNY CAUSE MY KIDS ALREAY KNOW WHAT I'M CRYING ABOUT. YOUR THE FIRST THING THAT COMES OUTTA THEIR MOUTH. THEY SAY" MAMA ARE U CRYING CAUSE YOU MISS NINO ?" I CRACK A SMILE THRU MY TEARS AN TELL THEM YES AN IT'S CAUSE I MISS YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T THINK THIS FAMILY WILL EVER STOP MOURNING YOU. EVERYDAY THAT PASS AN MONTHS IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY. I DON'T LIKE GOING TO YOUR HOUSE THAT MUCH CAUSE IT HURTS TO GO INTO YOUR ROOM NOT SEEING YOU THERE. WE MISSED YOU ON ALL THESE HOLIDAYS THAT HAD JUST PASSED. RICKIS BDAY WASN'T THE SAME EITHER YOU COULD FEEL IT. I WISH THAT I COULD TAKE AWAY YOUR MOMS PAIN I KNOW SHE IS HURTING THE MOST WITHOUT YOU.  I LOVE YOU MY NINO BOY OUR FAMILY'S GUARDIAN ANGEL.

To My Little Brother  / Ricki Suarez (Your Big Sister )
My Nino. Aiden jus started saying your name and he recognizes pictures of you, that made me so happy. So im hoping that means he can see you watching over us. Sometimes i feel like im all alone without you here with me, we were the big brother and sister. We were the oldest. I have more memories of you then D'Angelo or Aleesa do and i will treasure them for the rest of my life. You taught me so much Nino. That last week you were with us all i wanted was for you to stay with me, i wasn't ready for you to leave me. I remember when it was just me, you, and mama. Now that your gone i feel like you left me to take care of mama by myself, even though it wasn't just us three anymore. The day of your funeral i didn't want them to close your casket, i stared at you for as long as i could when aunt misty and daddy were trying to make my walk away with tears falling down my face because i knew once they closed it, i would never get to see my little brother again. I wish you didnt have to go. I miss you more then words could explain. I try so hard to keep my feelings and thoughts inside because i try to be strong.....like you were and like mama is. Even though im sitting in your room alone with tears filling my eyes, I refuse to left myself break down. It makes me so mad that some people like cousins we never even met before try to say they miss you when they didn't even know you, when they don't even hurt they way that we do, When they never loved you the way that we do. I wish i could see you walking and talking in heaven with your new wings. You always were the angel in the family, now you are the angel watching over our family. Come see us in our dreams soon. I love you with all my heart Nino boy. Close

THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK BOUT YOU AN ASK MYSELF WHY. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE ANSWER. I KNOW THERE ARE REASONS WHY THE LORD TOOK YOU AWAY. YOUR MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED HERE ON EARTH. YOU DID WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO. I WONDER AT TIMES ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DO UP THERE. HOW I WISH THAT I COULD SEE YOU DO THEM. I'M WAITING FOR THE DAYS TO SEE YOU AGAIN AN TALK TO ME SO I CAN ACTUALLY HERE YOUR VOICE. AT TIMES I WONDER "AM I CRAZY FOR FEELING THIS WAY AM I OVERREACTING?" , BUT THEN I SNAP OUT OF IT. I FEEL THIS WAY CAUSE I LOVE U AND IT HURTS THAT YOUR NOT HERE WITH THIS FAMILY. U WERE MY NINO NINO. IT FEELS SO UNREAL WITHOUT YOU HERE. AT TIMES I FEEL THAT I WILL GO TO THE HOUSE AN YOU WILL BE THERE, BUT YOUR NOT . IT'S MY EMOTIONS HOPING AN WISHING THAT THIS WAS ALL JUST A DREAM. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I DO LOVE YOU AN I DO MISS YOU.  I KNOW THAT ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN WHEN THE LORD SAYS IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO.
