" May this young man rest in peace. Such a tragedy for someone so young. What is even more tragic is that he chose to take his life in such a public place where children play. "

" I have so many great memories with Memo. He had such a big heart and had the ability to make anyones bad day turn into a good one. I can just picture his huge red lips everytime I think about him. We weren't that close in high school but the years from elementary and middle school make up for all the times we didn't share.
"Memo, you made me smile when I thought I couldn't, you made me laugh even when I was mad, you were a great friend, and I'll never forget the memories we shared together. Like the time you cut out a rose from the bushes at school and gave it to me (': you were sweet, kind, friendly, and funny. Never will you be forgotten. It was nice seeing you in my dream. Hope to see you soon, I Lovee Youu and may you rest in peace."

My prayers go out to the Martinez Family. "

Douglas Catholic Youth Minister wrote on Nov 14, 2012 10:28 AM:

" In dealing with the event that occurred these past few days, I wanted to share this; coping with a suicide in its self is a big issue, coping with a suicide of a young youth from Douglas is even more. As I researched in the internet I found that there are many things to see and read. As I googled I came across something that was very understanding to me.
Coping With A Suicide, Catholic Teaching and Pastoral Response by Dr. Frank J. Moncher , which gives details and a bit of understanding thru our catholic faith on how we deal with this kind of tragedy.
What I like the most about this reading and what made sense to me is that often it is not possible to discover the with certainty why someone has committed suicide sometimes it could be a mental disorder or perhaps unrecognized depression, bi polar, psychosis, substance abuse, or some other mental disorder which can distort the suffers perception of reality. The Church recognizes that the person’s ability to make a free choice was likely impaired.
So in summarizing this although we can judge that an act is in itself a grave offense , we must entrust judgment of persons to the justice and mercy of God, In Christian hope we are called to trust in God’s mercy for our loved ones as well as for ourselves.
Now the healing process begins. Let us put our trust in GOD and ask him to give us strength and understanding.
This poem was posted on facebook by Memo’s sister Dulce Martinez:
God looked around his Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes, He
whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.

When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, we would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.

You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your loved ones , you're always by our side.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home. "

" I had the opportunity to be one of Memos teachers in middle school. Memo was a very kind person with a very good heart Memo was the type of kid that made my day and when I was having a rough day he always managed to make me laugh and drift me away from that bad day I was having. To memos family we keep you in our prayers. Memo may you rest in peace. "
