View all 249 ReflectionsThis year marks 15 years. Time is both friend and foe. Your impact on your family, your mother, father, brother and sister, madrina, permeates strong still. I met your family in the thick of their grief, hearts broken from so much loss. We still think of you, see your personality sprinkled among our children, laugh at old stories, cry at all the missed opportunities for more time, more memories. I pray your spirit rests knowing that Geovani is ok, that Jenny is a mom! And she’s ok. That your parents, Lucy and Hector, are well. That in what was and remains one of their greatest heartbreaks, love and grace has grown around them to comfort them until one day you all meet again. We love and honor you Sergeant Ayala
