Dearest Maria,

My heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time. I will be praying for you and thinking about you my dear.

Cada día que pasa,recuerdo más tu voz,también tu mirada triste,pero también llena de amor,siempre te llevo en mi mente,y por siempre estarás en mi corazón.Me dejaste muy pronto,y aunque sé que con Dios estas,yo esperare el momento,de tu mejilla, volver a besar .Recuerdo siempre tu mirar,que fue un regalo a mi existir,mis sacrificios hiciste pagar,solo al verte sonreír.Se que mis Oraciones a Dios,y mi amor de madre,permitirán que en el cielo,te pueda encontrar,para seguir dándote mi amor,para toda la eternidad,

y volver a escuchar de tus labios, Te quiero Maria

I am still in shock and can’t believe what happened. I know there is nothing I can say to help ease your pain at this time. I can only tell you that time heals the pain. Edwin and his memories will live in your heart. He will always be remembered with respect and love by all those who knew him, and those that he touched their lives in some way.

We are praying for you and your family and know that God will give you all the strength to pull through these tough times.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Edwin was my student in Design Techniques a couple years back. His presence and work ethic were both enjoyable and a source of inspiration to the other students. I am only sorry that the architectural profession will not benefit from his contribution. I am sure Edwin was a source of pride for your family and will be greatly missed.

Sincerely, James Archer

Thank you for doing everything you have done for me. You taught me so much over the years about life in general, and in school actually I think I learned more from you than actual professors. I am going to miss going out for drinks and food every day and just hanging out when we weren’t doing that. Thank you so much for letting me lean on you in my darkest time and for being there every step of the way. You helped me through so much and helped me to become a stronger person. Thank you for letting me be one of the very few people that you showed your true self to and allowing me to see the gentle, real, and vulnerable you. I’m going to miss everything about you, the countless good times we have had. Rest in peace best friend and rest assured that you left a huge influence on this world. Thank you for being who you were, an honest, strong, gentle, dominating, vulnerable, helpful, and best friend. Rest in Peace, my best friend.

Edwin was the first person I met and talked to on my first day of upper division architecture at FAU. It was easy to tell right away that he was a great guy – nice,funny,and caring. I was always amazed by how much he knew and understood about almost everything and inspired by his dedication and determination. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Rest in peace Edwin – you’re a huge loss to this world.

Edwin,

Although I’ve didnt have the opportunity to spend alot of time to get to know you,I can say that from what I’ve heard from your friends and family, you were an extraordinary human being. Your talent for architecture and building things are simply awe inspiring. If I could do one thing it would be to bring you back, not only for your family and friends who obviously love you so much, but so I could get to know the man who has earned the respect and love of so many people and so you could carry on your dream to do what you’ve worked so hard to achieve. Rest in peace, Edwin. You will be greatly missed and loved by so many.

-Christine.

Edwin querido companiero de colegio y amigo te voy a exraniar un monton. Tus visita por aqui a Alemania al igual que las vistas a ti alla en los EEUU siempre fueron muy agradables y amenas. Nos divertimos mucho al encontrarnos, como es comun donde buenos amigos. Un abrazo enorme dondequiera que estes
