TIA QUE DIOS LE DE LA FUERZA PARA SEGUIR ADELANTE 67 ANOS DE VIDA ON DON PEDRO PUES NO ES FACIL. LO QUE SE ME OLVIDO MENCIONAR ES QUE LE ESTRE ETERNAMENTE AGREDECIA POR TODO EL CARINO QUE USTED Y PEDRO ME DIERON CUANDO VIVIAN EN LOS ANGELES. TENGO MUCHOS BONITOS RECUERDO DE USTED I PEDRO. DON PEDRO FUE NI MAESTRO DEL DANZON. SIEMPRE ESTRA EN MISN RECUERDOS Y MI CORAZON. ALGUN DIA NOS REUNIREDMOS CON EL. TIA MARGARITA LA QUIERO MUCHO.

Don Pedro will always be in my heart, he would call me "Vira Mambo" up to this day I don't know my is it becaue I danced mambo when I was small or he did. My memories with the family all the parties we enjoyed together at City Terrace, Hilda's Market who didn't know where that famous market was. We all stopped by to say hi and to have some chips and soda of course he never wanted to take my money. Margarita Dios se llevo una estrella que brillara mucho y un dia vamos estar todos juntos para seguir esas fiestas y bailar mambo y chacha con la Sonora Santanera...Que Dios los bendiga! Los quiero mucho a toda la familia. Beto & Elvira Rodriguez, West Covina, Ca. (City Terrace)

I feel truly blessed to have had my Abuelito in my life for so many years. I will always remember him taking me to McDonald's, the Sunday dinners at Chamisal's, the love in his eyes when he would see his family. I will miss his voice and his hugs but I know he is finally resting and no longer in pain. I remember one year I bought him a T-shirt with a Superman symbol on the front for father's Day. I gave it to him because to me he was my Superman... strong and fearless and fought through his physical pain. I love you Abuelito, you will be missed but never forgotten and always remembered as my Superman.

My Grandfather had a big impact on many people's lives, and he touched so many with his big heart. I look forward to celebrating his life this week, and remembering all of the great memories I have of him as a small boy growing up at "Hilda's Market", through these recent years having him love and touch my children's lives as well. He will be missed greatly, but he has left his legacy through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren that he loved with all of his heart. Adios Abuelito Querido!

My dad was a true warrior..He only knew of his pain, but would not ask for much.  His true love of his life was my mom and his kids. Then his love for his music.  Oh! and his other love was 3 little Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Cups every day after dinner.  My dad  was respected and loved by all who knew him, because he was a patient and caring man.  He was blessed to be able to see his family and many of his friends while in the hospital. Thank you everyone for sharing his last smiles with us.  
Love HIlda

My thoughts and prayers are with all  The Martinez family. I remember Pedro sitting outside of his house on hicks watching me playing across the alley at my grandparents house, calling out to me , "jovita chicita". He would say that I looked so much like my mom. He will always be remembered with great admiration in my heart. Please let my Tia margarita know we love her very much. Mom is so right Pedro is up in heaven with my Pitito Lauro Martinez. God Bless you all. 

love Diane

after 88 years of hard work, and dedication to his family. he can finally rest.. all i can do is replay all the memories, i have of him, the way he smelled, the faces he would make when he drank something sour, his mouth when he was opening up his resses peanut butter cups.. his determination to pick up the leaves in his yard.. the times he sat in front of his stereo playing his old 45s and taping them...

my deepest condolances to all the Martinez family. Since I can remember all of you have been a very important part in my life and  I have fond memories of Pedro and all the family.  Pedro and my Tia MArgarita were and have been a blessing in my life My dad was very closed to them and now he is in heaven with my dad and grandparents.
 May he rest in peace. He was a very  caring and loving person. My heart goes out to all the Martinez family.
Love Jovi and family
