Matthew E. Mendoza

Still in our hearts !!! Semper fi!!!!

Matthew I hope that you are able rest now. Your life was cut way too short, You were doing something not many are willing to do for us all. A few of your men have been to see us and to visit you. Along with SGTMJR and his wife. We are lucky that we have such wonderful people coming into our lives. I'm sure that you knew just how much your men loved you. And would have followed you anywhere. You leave behind a family that will love and miss you very much. We will always Honor your memory, What you stood for as a man, father, son and as a Marine. Part of what you wanted did happen, All your men did make it back. We were in 29 Palms when they came in. We were there for them and they for us. We could see just how much they missed you, And were so sorry that you were the one who did not come back. I could see it in their eyes and hear it in their voice's. We do keep in touch with one another. They want to be sure that we are OK. Little Matthew dose miss you, And often will ask me to tell him stories about you. He is so much like you. He's doing OK. Keep stopping in on my dreams. I love you.

Matthew, I am not to sure on how to do this but my heart will just pour. I thank you for all you have done and with all weve done I will learn from. Its really hard waking up and seeing our son everyday but I know I am strong. I am so sorry I have not gone to see you but I am just not ready. I will always miss you and I promise to keep our promises and make him happy! god bless Matt and one day I will be there, pooh bears okay and we miss you. Thank you for the god times and our son a gift that will always be at heart. He is great!! L4E
