'Can't believe that it's been two years on Tuesday that we lost such a great leader and friend. Mr. Martinez you would be so proud of Ernest, your son, he has taken on the Cesar Chavez walk and is working to make it just as good if not better than you left it. 
To all of Mr. Martinez's family, may you all know that he is in God's hands and is walking the streets of gold with all of those that passed before him. We will be so lucky when we are able to meet him and walk hand in hand. 
RIP and thank you for all that you took care of while we had you on this earth.'
