I can promise you that you will never be forgotten.

I just wanted you to know that we will be thinking of you on this Thanksgiving Day. We will say a little prayer for you, your family and your brothers in arms. You will never be forgotten as HEROES live in our hearts forever. I will continue to write in your book until the day I can no longer write. At that point, I am looking forward to meeting all of my HEROEs and getting a big GrMa hug!

I was thinking about you yesterday. I will never forget you or the sacrifice you made to keep our country free. You will always be a HERO to me.

This Memorial day weekend I wanted you and your family to know we are thinking about you.
You are a forever hero and we will always remember your sacrifice.

Ramon, as I am getting ready to put your book together for your Mom and Dad, I am reminded of what you did for all of us. I am so happy that your sister was able to contact me and let me know that your parents had not received a condolence. I know they are going to be shocked and surprised at the many messages they will look at and at how many people from all over this great country of ours truly care and remember. I also know you will be looking down on them and, you to, will be very proud of yourself.

I know that Ramon and Ernie will be acting silly today! I am thinking and praying for your family today. May God Bless you all!

It seems only proper to honor you on this Fourth of July. Since our country became a country, our Military has taken good care of us so that we may be free.
We are able to walk around, pray, own things, and not live in fear as so many others do because of people like you.
Ramon, you are my HERO and I will never forget your sacrifice for as long as I may live.
Thank you, Ramon. I'm sorry you had to pay the price that you did.

Ramon, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you on this Memorial Day. You will be forever a HERO and you will never be forgotten.
with love and respect,
Mike and Pam Dustin

Ramon, I am sorry that I didn't write on Veterans Day. I was in urgent care with my daughter for about twelve hours.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I want you to know that I will be giving thanks to you. You are a hero and I promise you will never be forgotten.
I have had an oportunity to email with your sister. She is truly a very sweet young lady. I am going to make a book for your parents. I am so sorry that I didn't do it sooner, but I know they will be amazed at the outpouring of love, respect, and just how many care about you and your sacrifice.
with love and respect,
Mike and Pam Dustin

A little note to Ramon's wife. I hope that you have had the chance to go through the book that I made for Ramon. I also hope that your son will someday read this book and know how very many people cared about him. He will need to know what a hero his father is. I hope you are doing well and getting on with your life. As sad as it may be, you are a young and beautiful woman and I am sure Ramon would want you to go forward.
with love and respect,
Pam
I would love to hear from you anytime.

I wanted you to know that you are being thought of this Memorial Day weekend. I will be going to the beach on the 31st. I plan to sit on the beach and watch the waves roll in and think of our fallen heroes. The waves are eternal to me; just as you are. I hope you can feel all of the love being sent your way. Heroes never die; they remain in our hearts forever.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Ramon, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

A PROUD MARINE MOM

well i am amanda cousin i am reaaly sad what happen to her husban but he left her a gift the little boy i s he cute he looks like his dad

To Amanda, Ramon Villatoro Sr and family...



It is with a heavy heart, but pride, honor and deep appreciation of their sacrifices overides the sadness, that we remembered our dearly departed brave soldiers, your son, Ramon Jr. and our Milton Jr. on this past Memorial Day. I knew Milton, he was and still is like a son to me, but did not know your son Ramon. Christy, Miltons' widow shared her stories of Ramon. We will always cherise the fun memories they left us. Please know and be comforted that they are in Gods' hands and in Gods' glory. We love our brave fallen sons (soldiers) and will always be forever in our hearts.



Respectfully yours,



Richie and family

My heartfelt sympathy to the Villatoro family in the loss of Ramon. I did not know Ramon, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Ramon it has been seven months since you were taken. You are a hero and you will never be forgotten.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Love and Peace

Tom

And i wanna let the Villatoro family know that me and my family send our prayers.

THE DEATH OF OUR RELATIVE RAMON VILLATORO IMPACTED OUR LIVES SO MUCH THAT WE CAN FEEL HIS DEVOTION FOR OUR COUNTRY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE, & ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE & ETERNAL LOVE FROM GOD. THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVING E-MAILS TO THE FAMILY.

Our family is praying for you. I’ve been reading about how wonderful Ramon had been and it brings great joy in knowing that my cousin Ernie Dallas left with some really wonderful people. Ramon will now be watching over you and your baby from up above. You will never be alone with the presence of his spirit. If ever you feel like laughing when you’re by yourself, it is probably because Ramon and Ernie are ganging up on you from the heavens with their huge smiles and silly cut ups. Thank you and Ramon for having such wonderful and giving hearts to those of us you’ve never seen.



I’ve met Precious recently and she’d tell you that you would be glad not to be near as I couldn’t stop hugging her to let her know how much Ernie wanted her to be a part of our family and that I am grateful.

To the Villatoro Family.

I was there among the anonymous hundreds on the Hill Of Valor when your young warrior was brought home to final rest. Thankyou for honoring all of us by inviting us to be with you that we might also honor Ramon and pay final respects to him. It was a rare privaledge. Amanda, you and the rest of your family on both sides are in our thoughts and prayers and will be for some time. Know that Ramon was welcomed to glory by many of his kind who went before him and that he is watched over by the loving God that made him.

Villatoro family,

What an extreme loss we have both faced with this tragedy. My prayers have been with you since I was informed of the incident on that very sad day. Amanda, my heart goes out to you and I know I don't know exactly what you're going through but I do have an inkling. Please feel free to contact me at any time because I want to keep in touch with you. Anything you need, please let me know. Love and prayers, Precious

To the Villatoro family,

I am sorry about the lost love one. i cant imagine what it was like for the wife. i am sending my condolences to the family. I have to say thanks so much for serving for american freedom.

To the family of ramon,

i am sending my condolences to you guys. i am sorry about the death of a family member. i will keep your family in my prayers.

For 20 Ohio Marines



Did you feel the wave of sympathy

surging across the Pennsylvania line

and out to you,

the families left behind?



We know.

For we saw your boys

here among ours,

at High School proms

in cars, in shopping malls,

in churches, at picnics

and on the curb

at parades on July 4th

watching veterans

of other wars,

saluting them with gratitude.



We saw them at gates

leaving wives and families,

grandparents

and forlorn young girls--

turning to leave

with head held high,

looking back one last time.

We know them.

For yours are ours.

.

To the Family and Wife Of Pfc. Ramon A. Villatoro I send my deepest condoences for your loss. I went to Foothill with Ramon and Amanda and I remember what a great and courageous man he was. The Lord blessed him with a big heart, a sense of humor and a smile to light up a room. I remember always laughing when I was around Ramon and I remember how much he loved you Amanda and how great the love you guys shared was. I just know that Ramon has passed on to a better place and is now with the Lord. I pray that the Lord bless you with the strength, love and support you need to get through this time. You're family will remain in my prayers.

To the family of Pfc. Ramon Villatoro,
