Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday July 22, 2002

In Loving memory of Angelo Eloy Chavez April 14, 1979 - July 22, 1997Five years may seem a long time to others, But not to me. To those who may have forgotten:Go ahead and mention my Angelo The one who died you know. Don't worry about hurting me further The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears I try to hide.I hurt when you just keep silent Pretending he didn't exist I'd rather you mention my Angelo Knowing that he has been missed.If you would ask me how I'm doing I would say"okay" or"fine" But healing is something ongoing I know it will take a lifetime.Angelo, I love you and miss you with All my heart. Five years ago today I lost my buddy! My beautiful boy! My life will never be the same. Mom
