Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi Dad,
We now have a new addition to the family. Kameron Maxwell was born on August 12, 2006 at 3:53AM. Renee is going to be a wonderful mother! She had to have an emergency C-Section, and was very scared. She told me that she said a prayer asking for you to watch over her and the baby, and immediately afterward, she felt a wonderful calm come over her. Thank you. Kameron (aka George) is a beautiful baby boy. He is all MORENO! Thinking of you and missing you daily. I wish you could be here to see you growing family! The booklet with the family tree that Mima sent me from the reunion was fun to look at. All the families had about half a page...it is a wonder they were able to fit all of your family on one sheet!
I love you and think of you always,
Margie

Hi Dad,
Well, the family reunion was beautiful. Most of the family was there and a wonderful time was held by all. Mom gave a beautiful blessing and we held a candle ceremony to remember everyone that has passed from our family. It was great to see Dena and Monica again. I know that it was hard for them but I think that being with the family helped them throught the loss of Auntie Selma. Dad, we saw the most beautiful sight that afternoon. A beautiful pink cloud formed over the mountain peak at Little Walnut and we knew that you, Jellybean, Aunties Selma and Amparo, Uncles Henry and Raul, Cousin Joey, Grandmas Nellie and Chonita and Grandpas Speddie and Alfonso were all at the reunion in spirit. Uncle Juni explained the scientific explanation of the cloud as a rare phenomena dealing with the atmosphere, but I still like to believe that all of you were there. It was a beautiful day, it did rain all around the area except where we were. What a beautiful family you have Dad. We plan on doing this often. We have so much fun together. It seemed like the old days when we all used to gather at Grandma Nellie's house on Sundays only now there are 257 of us. Please know that you are missed. I love you very much!

Hi Daddy,
This weekend we are having the Moreno-Sias Family Reunion.
It is going to be great to see everyone on a happy occasion. Seems like family only gets together when bad things happen.
We will be remembering all our family that has passed. Sad that there have been several that have past since the last reunion.
Daddy, we all miss you terribly. Not one day goes by that i wish you were here with us.
Please watch over everyone. Especially the ones that will be traveling.
Oh yeah since i last wrote you you have had another grandson, Jeff's baby boy. Now just waiting for Nay to have "George" he will be here any day. I ordered him for mine and Bubba's birthday. But he didn't make it.
Well Daddy it is getting late here. I better go to bed now.
I miss you and Love you very much.
Love ya,

Daddy, today marks the 31 years since you had to leave us. This is a very hard day for the whole family. I miss you so terribly much. You are on my mind everyday. I wish i could have had my Daddy longer. That way you could have seen all of us grow up. Also, to see all your grandkids. And especially all of the greatgrands. You will have 3 new great grand by the end of the summer. Two have already arrived. Both boys. The third on will soon be here, another boy. Wish you could hold and hug each one of them.
Daddy, I Love You Very Very Much.

Unfortunately, in recent months, NM has lost 2 more dedicated law enforcement officers with the death of James Archuleta of the NM State Police and the murder of Deputy James McGrane of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office. I found this website following their deaths, and have left reflections for them. As I have been reading through the other fallen NM Heros, I came to your page tonight, Inspector Moreno. I am so deeply touched by the love from your family, it is obvious that you have been in their thoughts everyday. They sound like a wonderful group of people, who were so deeply influenced by you. Be proud Inspector!

Daddy,
Please watch over Mima. She is down since Uncle Pin past away. Watch over the rest of her family too. Especially Aunite Tarcilla, Boy and Tudi and their familys.
Please keep an eye on the Baby Crispin Miguel. He has had a rough start. He was flown out to Albuquerque after he was born. Danielle is worried for her new baby. Keep an eye on Abby and Alice since they have been traveling back and forth from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. Please bring the baby home safe for us.
Wish you were here to see all of your grandkids and greatgrands. There are quite a few of them. I had my 5 here at home for Jozi's birthday. It was a zoo here.
Dad, I miss you very very much. Thank you for watching over all of us.
Love you, Cammy

Hi Dad,
Well, it must be getting crowded in heaven. Again with a heavy heart I must let you know that Uncle Pin passed away yesterday. He was surrounded by Auntie Tarcila and the boys as well as Uncle Oscar and Auntie Licha. Mom and Terri were in Alamogordo yesterday and helped Auntie and the boys with Uncle's arrangements. Please welcome him with open arms. He is now with Mima and Papito and his sister Auntie Fannie. Please take care of Mom through this. She has so much faith and hope! I know that she is very sad about her big brother. I love you and miss you very much Dad!

Daddy, This has been one of the best days i have had in a long time. I was able to talk to Richard Quintana-Sena, his wife and his son today. I was on cloud nine. With the help from ODMP's Chris Richard and I were able to connect.
Daddy, he lives just about an hour from me. We are making plans for the families to meet. And you know us, there is always room for new family members. I have invited Richard and his family to the Blue Mass. I hope they can be our honored guests. Daddy, Please watch over Mima tonight. Uncle Pin is not doing well. Mom is really sad. Daddy I love you very much. And miss you a lot too.
Love you, Cammy

To Officer Richard Sena...Thank You. No words can express the amount of gratitude my family has for you. As my sisters have stated, your being there could have possibly been the difference between us losing our father that night in 1970 or us having had the next few years with him. I truly believe that your being there with him may have made all the difference. Thank you for being there to call for medical assistance and more importantly thank you for being there with our father. It means so much to all of us to know that our father was not alone that night.
As we have all grown up and had children of our own, we have shared memories and stories with our children. Your name will be added to those stories with honor and respect. Thank you for being there for my Dad. Thank you for everything you did that night. Most of all please know that my entire family owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank you Officer Sena. thank you

Daddy, As you know Auntie Selma passed away. Please watch over Monica and Deena. Also watch over your Brothers and Sisters who are still here with us. Our family has had so much heart aches this past year. But the reward is going home.
Thank you Daddy for watching over my girls and their babies they have had hard times.
I am so very sorry that i missed your memorial this year. This is the very first one i have missed. I was going to be there with Mom and Terrie, but I was needed here at home with my girls. I have been really sad this weekend because i was not there for the memorial. Please forgive me.
I love you and miss you very much.

Dad, again with a very heavy heart I must let you know that your baby sister Auntie Selma passed away today around 4:00 PM. She was with the girls, Monica and Dena and Vonna (Auntie Sookie and Uncle Mon's daughter)I'm very sure that Uncle Ralph was there with her too. Please be there to greet her at God's gates. As I was speaking with Johnny this afternoon, I realized how many of our family is there with you. I hope that she is reunited with her loved ones Auntie Amparo, Uncle Henry, Grandma Nellie, Grandpa Alfonso and Joey. My wish is that I too will someday be with you and the people I love. I especially miss Joey-alot! Dad, please have Jellybean with you when you meet Auntie Selma. Jellybean needs to know what a wonderful, beautiful lady Auntie was. Keep us safe and please watch over us. Please keep watch over Auntie Ruby and Uncle Beto, Auntie Ela, Uncle Mon and Auntie Sookie, Uncle Juni, Mom, Abby and Alice, Terri, Dina and Dave, Margie and Bill, Cammy and Louie and all our cousins as we go through this difficult time. I love you!

I was extremely touched and humbled by Retired Officer Richard Sena's words today in my father's reflections. Because of our father and mother, we grew up to respect the badge and the men and women behind it. We, as an entire family, honor the work and sacrifices every Peace Officer offers each day to keep our communities safe. Officer Sena, please know that we are truly blessed by what you did that March day in 1970. I was unaware of YOUR heroic actions the day my father was shot. I thank you with all my heart and soul and my family thanks you as well. As my sister stated, you may have been the reason why my Dad stayed with us for the time he did. We truly treasure the time and memories we had with my Dad, and for that we are truly in your debt. Honestly, my father suffered what should have been "Mortal" injuries, but you must have said or done something to offer him courage and hope. Officer Sena, please accept my family's appreciation for what you did for my father. We would love to honor your work as a Police Officer at the "Blue Mass" to be held in August in Grant County, New Mexico. My mother helps spearhead this tribute to all Peace Officers. It would be an honor. Please know that now you will have a very special place in the Moreno's hearts. Thank you!

I visited my father's memorial page today and was very touched by the memorial left by Retired Officer Richard Sena. I want to say on behalf of the Moreno family how grateful we all are. You were there to offer our father comfort at his greatest time of need. You should feel no shame it not being there earlier. You were there when Daddy needed you to be there for him. "There is a time for every purpose under heaven". Your time and purpose was to offer my father the strength to hold on to his precious live long enough for us to have the memories we have of him. We were all so young, the strength you passed on to my father with the touch of your hand, and your reassurance, may have been the difference between us loosing him then and there, and us having him for the additional, and precious, years that we had him. Officer Sena, we thank you, and we are blessed by you. Please allow your self to feel comfort and know that God in all his Glory blesses you for being there when you were. We are forever in your debt.
On behalf of the Moreno family.

1970 is a bad year for me. I left Gallup PD right after the trial and I was not a happy camper (for lack of a better statement) when his assailant was found not guilty. I still have the original clippings, and have been haunted by the shooting of LI Edward Moreno. If I had been there just a minute earlier maybe I could have saved his life instead of just calling for medical assistance. I want to apologize to the family who by the relections are a very loving and devoted family. May God bless you all and keep you safe. I remember Edward all the time and it has been years and I will never forget him. Patrolman Richard Sena (retired)

Hi Dad,
Well today we got the word that your baby sister Auntie Selma is not doing too well. She has been in the hospital for a few weeks and undergoing treatment for leukemia. she haas had some really rough spots and needs our prayers. Dad, please watch over her and keep a place for her there next to you. I don't want to think of the possibilities but I'll feel so much better knowing that she will be with you in heaven. Uncle Pin has also taken a turn for the worse. Please watch over him too. It's really tough watching our aunts and uncles grow older and get sick. Uncle Pin took such good care of us when you were sick and mom really counted on her big brother for support and guidance. I love Auntie Selma and Uncle Pin very very much and will keep praying for them. Daddy, I miss you very much. Please give my Jellybean a great big hug and kiss for me.
Love Always,
Bertita

Hi Daddy, it's been awhile since I last wrote you, but you are never far from my mind and never leave my heart... this weekend will be on e of the proudest of my life. David will be graduating from UNM with his Masters. I will never forget how important education was to you, and I am so proud of David for accomplishing what I didn't have the time or energy to do... you know me always the procrastinator. Maybe someday... Both the boys have become very successful in what they have undertaken in their lives. Jeffrey is such a hardworking, honest, reliable young man, and he has given me three wonderful grandbabies, another one's coming in August by the way. I wish you could be there with mom and all of us when David walks this weekend. I know that you are with us in spirit though. Next weekend will be the Silver City Police Memorial and I will be there with Mom in your Honor. I love you Dad very much, a day doesn't go by that I don't think of you or miss you. Help us keep the faith that one day we will all be together in God's presence. Como siempre sigo siendo tu Weda Werinchi

Hi Dad,
I'm sitting here remembering the terrible events that happened on this day back in 1970. I remember every year and it always seems like it's happening all over again and it still hurts me like it did then. Dad, I know that this is not a happy anniversary for you or any of us. I remember the feelings that morning when I woke up and Mima and Papo were there to take us to their house in Hurley. I remember how confused I was that mom wasn't there. But most of all I remember how quiet Abby was that morning. Dad, Abby was NEVER quiet. Dad, Abby I believe Abby heard everything that happened to you when the state police came to tell mom about your shooting. Dad, everyone-our uncles and aunts, cousins and grandparents were all with us, taking care of us and helping Mom. If it hadn't been for them, I know we would not be the loving, supportive family we are now. I know that your job was dangerous and that you and mom were prepared if anything happened. Dad, when you were shot, Mom had to learn how to be self sufficient and rely on her hidden strengths and courage. Mom is the most courageous, focused, loving woman. She is committed to her husband and her children and I know my sisters and I have learned these attributes from her. I want you to know that your sacrifice and your strength to hang on with everything you had so you could remain in our lives was beautiful. A father's undying, unconditional love for his family was what kept you with us for the five years after you were shot and has kept you with us in spirit today. I love you Dad and I hope that we will continue to blessed with your presence and love. Give my loving grandbaby girl Jelly Bean, my hugs and ksses and my love. Dad, I tend to get really depressed on this day each year, but I know that I'm still grieving for you. Please watch over us and especially watch over Blanca, Fernie and Eliana. Take take of my John Edward. Dad, watch over Mom and Uncle Pin. She loves her brother so much and I know that she is sad about his health. Daddy, I love you and miss you terribly! You are always on my mind and in my heart.

Hi Daddy, Thank you so very much for bringing my Godson, Joseph, safe and sound from his service in the Army. I'm so glad he is home. Please take care of my Andrew too. Bring him home to us safely. Maybe then Dina might be able to relax a bit.
Thank you for being there with Jelly Bean on her first birthday. Please watch over Blanca and her family.
Daddy please help us find out what is making my Daughter Lyzzie sick. She is so miserable right now. And the hard part about it is Louie and I don't know what to do for her. I'm exhausted. She has another Dr. Appointment in a few days. She needs your strength right now. So do I. Please send me a sign that she will be alright. I could really use a great big hug from my Daddy right now.
Daddy, please one more favor. Please watch over Berta, she is having tests run on her. Make everything okay for her. Also watch over Dina too. I think we all need a dose of your strength right now.
I love you and miss you lots and lots.
Love, Cammy
