SANMARTIN-GONZALES, CHRISTOPHER Today is the eight year anniversary of the passing of our beloved son, Christopher. Our broken hearts will never be healed from the pain we continue to feel from your absence from our lives. As the years pass I often imagine what life would be like if you were still here with us. How many children you would have. And every time my eyes fill with tears and I ask the Lord "why". Dad, brother and I cling to each other for comfort and peace. Son, know that you're forever in our hearts, love and miss you very much. Dad, mom, brother Jacob and baby girl Marisa.
