Carolynne Mary Martin - Site Memorial Online

Dear Felix, Nini's Mom and Family, I'm a fellow WMC employee, and although I have seen you, we have never met. We share a bond that no parent wants, having both lost a daughter. In 2000 my beautiful Lizzie died in a car accident in Summertown. She was 14, and would have been 15 on August 13. So Nini and Lizzie share a birthday month, as well as being close in age when they left. Lizzie was an incredible girl, like your Nini, with lots of friends. We were all in shock. It has been 7 years for us. What I share with you and your family is that hugely open, wounded heart. We never get over the loss, we just learn to live with it. I can tell you that it will get better. At some point, we have to tell ourselves that our girls would not wish us to be sad, and we pray for a chance to see them now in our dreams, to give us some time together until we meet them again on the other side. There will be little miracles of moments when you truly feel Nini's presence. The lesson all of us had from Lizzie was that you just don't know if you'll see someone again when you say goodbye. We resolved to be there for each other, to pay attention in the moment to the one in front of you, whomever that may be, and to say I Love You to those you love. I share this loss with you, I may know more than most what it feels like, so I pray deeply for all of you, and will be thinking of you this year, as you pass through all the difficult holidays without your beautiful Nini.

felix and family, this is beautiful. i only met her once while yall were shopping.  she is a beautiful girl and full of life. may her spirit still live in all of u. and find peace and love in her memories that yall have of her. this is a hard time of year, look to each other for comfort, and extended family and friends. that is what we are here for. only GOD can take away the pain, if u turn to him and ask. he called her home alot sooner then we like. and as parents. we want it to be us not our children. i can say i know how u feel , but i dont... i can only pray, that yall find peace, and remember her as she was. and continue to live life, with her in your hearts everyday. she is gone in the flesh, but lives through each one of u. i am sorry for your loss.

	Felix, Words cannot express how I feel for you and your family. Remember we love you and you are in my prayers daily...

I want to thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, for nini, me and all the family.  There is a big hole in my heart that will never heal as Nini was a big important part of my life.  I will never be the same as part of my life has died.  I was asking for prayers for a selfish miracle, but my miracle was not to be.  But I can assure you that a big miracle happened that I personally witnessed, I will tell you sometime.  As for Nini, she was my little angel that we all shared and enjoyed.  Now she is God's Angel to protect us all.  I know with her spirit, she is causing havock in heaven and loving it.  I pray to see her one day and recieve me with open arms and a great big Nini hug.  And she will say, "What Took You So Long, Daddy".  I can't wait, but as I do have my other half of my heart in Catherine, I must wait to see my Nini.  Again, Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.  The entire family appreciate it.  Felix Martin (Daddy).

November 21, 2007 To the Martin Family: I pray for your family every single day and even though I don't talk about it much, I miss your Nini more than I would have ever imagined. She was a great impact in my life. She brightened up my days and made me smile. I will always love her and I will always keep your family in my prayers. They say time heals all wounds and I pray that you are all blessed in so many different ways. Love, Mari.    Maria Montoya (Miami, FL)

	I never met Nini or your family personally, but rather through my son, Ernie. Although, he has known you for a short time, he has always been very fond of all of you. As a parent my heart goes out to you all. Your family is constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God gives you the peace, acceptance and understanding to accept your loss. Definitely as many have said Carolynne had to be a very special person for God to take her so soon. My deepest condolences and you will always be in my prayers.
