Reflections for Liquor Inspector Edward L. Moreno

Hi Daddy,
Well it's been 32 years since your passing. Even after all this time the pain is still fresh in my heart. It has been an honor to have the chance to pass on your values, your morals, your commitment to family and friends, and especially your name, as your eldest daughter. I am so very proud to be your daughter. You and Mom are the reasons why I do what I do and why I love what do in my career and life. You and Mom raised a wonderful, loving, and fun group of people. I love my family very, very much and I know that we will always honor you with our deeds. Daddy, it's been 32 years, but for me it seems like only yesterday. I love you very much and miss you every day!
Love,
Bertita

This is a hard day for all of us to face. You have been away from us for 32 years now. Everyone said it would get easier as the years go by. They were wrong. I think it gets harder. Just thinking of all the memories we could have had with our Daddy if that horrible day would not have happened. I wish you could be here to share the time with all of us and our kids and with mom too, especially for mom. We were robbed. I know we are supposed to forgive. But it is extremely hard. When the most precious thing in our lives is taken away. No one can take that pain away from us. The only consolation is that some day we will all be together again. But then someone is always left behind with the pain of loosing their loved ones.
The older i get the harder it is for me to accept not having a dad. That just means that I was the one who didn't get to spend that much time with my Dad. I just wish i could have had more, many more years with you. I wish i could just remember more memories with you. But i was four when you were hurt, and almost 10 when you were taken away. There are not too many memories i can remember. But the few i do remember i will hold on to for the rest of my life. It is so unfair. So so unfair. I miss you so so much. I know my brother and my sisters are hurting just as i do. I could not imagine the pain mom has gone thru. But at times the pain is unbareable for all of us. Daddy I miss you terribly. I love you...Cammy

Hi Daddy,
Well....I turned 50 years old. I can't believe it! Our family is SNEAKY, you would be so proud! I was treated to a surprise birthday party. Blanca, Fernie, Lana, Johnny and Dan planned for the whole event. The whole family was there! It was wonderful. I miss everyone so much, but I know that where I am right now, in Las Vegas, is where I need to be for now. I will return back to New Mexico in a few years, because there really is no place like home. I love you and miss you and I know in my heart that you shared my birthday with us!
Love you and miss you evryday!

Eddie...I have spent the last two weeks attending Memorials for Law Enforcement Officers. Our first one was the National one. That is a most beautiful remembrance. Next was our local one in Silver City. The last one was yesterday in Santa Fe. You would be so proud of our son.He was also there in Washington and Santa Fe. He is so well respected in Santa Fe as an officer. We sat with his supervisor and were told what a good job he is doing. The chaplain of the detention center also praised him highly. Both of these officers have also retired from the State Penetentiary and are now at the Detention center where Ed is. We spent most of the day with officers from all over the state.

Hi Dad,
Today will be a proud moment for our family. Mom, Abby, Alice, Dina, Dave, Joseph, Jessica and Margie will be in Wahsington DC to attend the Law Enforcement Memorial at the Wall tonight. Mom will spend heer Mother's Day with you! This is their first time at the Wall and I know it will be an emotional, but most proud experience for them all. I know how overjoyed and proud I was when I visited the Wall, it was very hard for me to leave. Dad, you are always in our minds and hearts. We are proud to be yours! I love you and miss you everyday!

March 7 is always an extremely hard day to face. I can still see State Policeman Bernal at the door. I know it was and will always be a difficult time for any officer to advise a family of the injury to another officer. I pray that he never had to face another family with such sad news. I will always be thankful to him and the other local officers who made our trip to Albuquerque possible. I miss you daily. love you!!

I had a very welcome phone call yesterday from Murray Ryan. He was reflecting on the old days. He reminded me that Feb. 14 for him was a great day. That was the day that the state legislature overturned Governor Bruce King's veto enabling the state to cover your hospital stay. He asked about all the kids and was very happy that they are all good kids.

It's that time of the year again Daddy! Here's your song! I love and miss you, especially during this time of year. It's my mijita, Jellybean's first Christmas in heaven. Please keep her close to you and both of you watch over your family this Christmas season and always!
-Bertita-

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Out of the mouths of babes...India, Moni's little girl was having breakfast this morning when she saw a prism shining on the den wall. She said that it was Jelly Bean watching over us. I went to the kitchen and moved the sun catcher and the reflection danced all over the walls. She was amazed and said that Jelly was dancing with Grampa Eddie. She turned to me and said, "You remember Grampa liked to dance, huh." I miss you daily. love you!!

Hi Daddy,
Wishing you were here for Thanksgiving. Mom came to Las Vegas last week with Abby and Alice and we helped her purchase a new car. She's so proud of her new car! It was long over due for her. Mom continues to keep the family in check and we continue to obey her like the good children we are. /lol/ Dad, I miss you. Take care of us and know that you are ever present in our hearts and minds. I love you!

Hi Dad,
Good morning Dad! You and Jellybean have been on my mind all morning. Just letting you know that today, yours and Jellybean's presence around me has been overwhelming! I don't mind at all, I love having you both with me! It's just that today it's really, really strong. Maybe it's because it's raining. Take care of all of us Dad! Be with us always! I Love you and miss you very much!

Eddie---Today we honored all law enforcement officers, fire department personnel, EMT's at the First Blue Mass in our area. The Bishop celebrated the Mass coordinated by our Knights of Columbus councils. Bishop spoke of the perils faced by all these Servants of God. The Gospel for today spoke of becoming like little children...realizing how much we have to learn and to offer our fellowman. Bishop asked all children to come to the Sanctuary for a special blessing. We had four of our great grandchildren who went up for blessing. Sabrina didn't because she was way in the back with Davey, but Milla, Manthie, Jeffy and Nate received a blessing. Sabrina also did her part by offering the gifts along with me and Terrie. It was beautiful. Afterwards, Deputy Mateo Madrid, Maxine and their son joined us for lunch at Terrie's. Maxine was the recipient of our scholarship in you name last year. She will be continuing this year. I hope we can help her this year again. I love and miss you!!!! Betty
