To all the Martinez family. I got to know Mr. Martinez very well, when my dad was Mayor. Mr. Martinez would often come into the store to speak to my dad. While waiting for Dad, I would often speak to Mr. Martinez. He was always really nice and I always liked speaking with him. He raised a wonderful family. May he rest in peace and may all the Martinez family be comforted in knowing that Mr. Martinez is with our Lord, now.

My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones. I am so glad I was able to attend the service for your father. It touched my heart. My father, Manuel Morgas passed away four years ago and I know exactly how you feel at this time for I was in your shoes once. But life goes on.....we cling to our memories....Vayan con Dios, Papacitos
