My dearest friend, no words can be said in such a time of pain...I see your face, the wonderful aroma of your wonderful cooking during our lunch time and can't help myself but to know that one more time your heart is hurting, one more time, but this time is so senseless and unjustified. Let me tell you beautiful women. Whom ever did this, believe me that their is not one moment that this person is in peace. His hands are tinted with your sons blood for the rest of their life's and not until they ask for forgiveness and turn himself or themselves in until then will they find peace. You are a women of faith, and God is wiping ever single tear. Remember my friend you have a beautiful little lady that needs you more than anything else in this world and your grandchildren you ask our father in heaven for the strength every moment and know that my prayers are with you and your family. A great big snuggle hug and one kiss on your forehead one on each cheek, and the last one on your chin, it represents the cross. Love you lots. Call me Maria LYP

the sad,truth is alot of people where there when it happen. recording witnessing, what more ridiculouse is everyone acts like cowards runs off and trys not to tell the truth. it will never go away we will always hurt. we will live on everyday thinking about how we will never see his handsome face ever again. if you want to have some peace. live with yourself a bit.let the truth be heard have the cowards step foward and rise. for that wasnt your son who was brutally murdered, older brother, grandchild or boyfriend. he was one amazing pearson. taken too soon.lets just hope that some kids have the hearts to speak up. for the resting of Oscar Daniel Sanchez<3
