I look back to that night and even after all these years I still remember ever detail like it was yesterday. I play it over and over in my head especially calling your Mom and asking her if what these police are saying is true and to hear that pain in her voice... I can hear it so clear even now. You were taken away too soon and I miss you and will always miss you everyday. Your Mother is always in my thoughts. I wish Sia could have known you today, she is about to be 15 now and I still remind her of the brief time we had with you. Love you Liz! You're never to far from my heart and thoughts.

A friend of mine passed away today. I thought back of people ive loved who are gone and i thought about that dance i took u to in the middle of nowhere and how much fun we had. Im lucky to have known you and gotten to share some beautiful moments in my life. I just wanted to talk to u but ill send this in the universe since i cant.

Liz I'm out in florida visiting family n thinking of u today. It's our last day here n my daughter is already 14, just 3 days ago May 28th, and I look at her and think how she sometimes reminds me of you even though she was only 2 when u passed. Her spirit is very similar! My mom my niece n Sia (my baby girl) went to this "hippy" type store n just thinking how you would have loved to go with them! I think of you often n Tommy and I still talk about you n try to keep you alive in our laughter! Well as I'm reading all the entries posted about you from people you've touched knowing the huge impact you had on so many lives makes me so sad... I wish I could think happy thoughts but reading your mom's posts to you knowing how her heart must ache every single moment of every single day is something no mother should feel. Me being a mother of a teenager now, OMG LIZ I'M OLD NOW 32- and after you I constantly think of worst case scenarios about my daughter knowing that everytime she leaves or decides to simply walk down the street, it could be the last time I get to tell her I love her or touch her beautiful face. I can't imagine what thoughts run thru your mom's head about that last night. I play that night over n over n over in my head wishing I had you just stay over or even just 30 mins longer cus then maybe u wouldn't have been out n you'd still be here. I'm so sorry I love you and miss you and wish you could see how beautiful Nasya has grown! Your memory will live on forever!

Liz, you were truly a gift from God. He filled you with joy, awesome talent, and much love and affection. You are truly missed! Your mom and dad are wonderful people who have endured much, as for the rest of your family. Though they miss you. I know that you are with our God who gives all peace. I thank God that we were able to share you a little while. I also know that you want your family to find the peace they need to live this life without you. God has truly blessed them with wonderful grandchildren and son and daughter-in-law. My prayer for them is they will seek "Him" in all situations. Because "He" is the only way!! For a "Peace that passeth all undertanding"!! God bless your family, I know that you are already blessed with "Him" above!!

There are those who believe

So the story is told,

That at birth you receive

Your own Angel to hold.

You come to this world

On a wing and a prayer,

And through your lifetime

She will always be there.

A guardian Angel

Who will guide what you do,

Her heart filled with love

Sent to watch over you


Liz we remember your B-Day here on earth, but we know that you celebrate many more things with the LORD in Heaven, you are truly missed and we LOVE YOU...


Feliz Cumpleaños.... :-)

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Love You Always & Forever Mom AKA Lady

Happy Easter, Liz. I hope that heaven is just right for you. It's raining on Easter sunday. I bet you're up there laughing at all the people scattering into their homes for shelter, yours eyes lighting up like big fireflies. Only you could find humor on a rainy day. You made one terrible 18th birthday much better for me and I'm sure you're thinking of ways to turn a rainy Easter into a happy occasion for the people you love.

Wishing you were somehow here again . . .



Wishing you were somehow near . . .



Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed . . .



Somehow you would be here . . .



Wishing I could hear your voice again . . .



Knowing that I never would . . .



Dreaming of you won't help me to do

all that you dreamed

I could . . .



Too many years . . .



Fighting back tears . . .



Why can't the past just die . . .?



Wishing you were somehow here again . . .



Knowing we must say goodbye . . .



Try to forgive . . .



Teach me to live . . .



Give me the strength to try . . .



No more memories, no more silent tears . . .



No more gazing across the wasted years . . .



Help me say

goodbye.

August 3, 2005

My Dearest Liz,

I can still remember the day rumors were spreading that someone from Gavit had died. My only prayer was that it wouldn't be someone I knew. Then I turned on the tv, and as if it were answering my question, there was your picture on the news. I almost couldn't breath. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. Then the memories started flooding my mind. Lunch, choir class, English class.....what a beautiful voice you had and how smart you were.



I'm so sorry, Liz. I should have told you these things when you were with me. But I was always the quiet one. You knew that. You tried so hard to get me to act silly. I was just in awe of you. Never have I met anyone that was so full of life, love, and dreams. . . . . .

I wish I knew then what I know now. When someone important comes into your life, you hold on and never let go.. . . but I let go. I was afraid I would hold you back. I'm so sorry I didn't go to your funeral, or to any of your vigils. My heart wouldn't take it.



You will forever be in my heart, Liz.



I promise I will never let go.

^i^

Except for me cause you know I don't drink...you remember the time...when you guys were over here...and we just got out trampoline...and you, Tiffany and I were holding hands...jumping around and you busted my head open..right below the eyebrow...yeah...it hurt...but I still have the scar...it's cool though...You're an awesome girl...you know that...just wish you could be here...along with Josh...it's still hard to believe the both of you are gone. The two most...hyper people out of all of us...it's just weird not having both of you around...we need someone here to cheer us up...and make us laugh..noone will ever replace you guys...they couldn't be able to fill in your guys shoes anyways. Well I am gonna go...I just wanted to drop by and let you know I was thinking about you..Miss you. Love ya and take care!

I hope you and Josh are gonna celebrate it tomorrow and have tons of fun together. I know some people are getting together at my house for your birthday. Probably just the usual. We all miss you so much. Take care. Love ya lots! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Liz, It's been about 7 months since you've passed and we all miss you so much. Please do me a favor during this time. Watch over Sean's family and stuff...and help Josh out while he's up there with you chillin' and doing "whatever". I miss you both so much...it's just not the same without you two jumpy energetic people who kept us laughing down here. I love you both!

LIz,it's been a little over six months since you've been gone and they say time heals all wounds but my sorrow deepens as every day passes. i see your memorial every day and i wish i could go back in time and change everything. I wish i had kept you on the phone longer or something. i miss you so much and i want you here with me and all of us. you made such an impact on me with your personality and the way you were and the things you said. I just wanted to tell you, you are not forgoten and you will always be a part of me.

Oh, my little sissy Liz, I miss you so much. You touched my life in a way you will never know. I only knew you for a short portion of your life, but I'm glad I got that much. You changed my outlook on life. You were there when I needed you to listen, to help, to make me smile, or just to be you. You were so cute, so talanted, so different, so perfect. You already made a difference in the world and to so many people in the short time you were here. I miss you Liz, the world misses you, and we love you.

I miss you Liz. Ever since you passed it feels as though there is an empty spot in my heart and the only way it can be filled is if your with me. Everyday, every hour I sit and think what would I say to you if I had one more chance. So maybe someday I will be able to tell you because I will not tell anyone else. Love Always,

Liz:

I miss you so much. You were always one to bring a smile to anyones face. You were a loving and beautiful person. There will never be a day that goes by that I will not think of you. Although you are still in my heart and memories, I miss you because I can not see you or touch you. Someday I'll see you in Heaven. I love you very much and will NEVER forget about my girlfriend.

Your girlfriend,

Jenny

I believe in heaven and know

that I should just accept it all

So content with the paths that I walk on

surely I should see it all

So take care and don't go to far,

I will miss you so

When the distance grows

and the nights are long

and your scared at times

and you wonder why

Take care and don't go to far

I will miss you so

I've looked into the sky a hundred times

and I've seen the stars that shine so bright

I'm sure that one of them is you, my friend

Watching and waiting and hoping that

I'll be alright

So take care and don't go to far

I will miss you so

And when the distance grows

and the nights are long

and you're scared at times

and you wonder why

Take care and don't be too scared..

I will miss you so

I believe in heaven and know

that I should just accept it all

So content with the paths that I walk on

surely I should see it all

So take care and don't go to far,

I will miss you so

When the distance grows

and the nights are long

and your scared at times

and you wonder why

Take care and don't go to far

The road back home is shorter than you know



This song just makes me think of her

remeber the time we went to theMetro to go see Seether and they were chillin in that bar with no windows and we didn't want to bother them during their super duper band meeting before the show so we just started walking back and forth smiling at all of them and Dale saw us and started smiling real big and shortly afterwords they all came out of the bar we were talking to them about how we never see street teamers for them and Shaun said it was cool cause he illustrated with his hands that street teamers were approximately neck level and he said we "the cool" were as high as he could reach his hand over his head! we were like HEll Yeah and that same night, Shaun came off the stage to perform Broken and Shaun stood directly in front of us and I remember Liz caressing his face as he sang so beautifully that night - Awesomeness!!

Little Liz, the munchkin, standing at 4 foot 11, you didn't take up too much space, but you were never overlooked and were too easy to find when you were prancing around the block yelling obscenities with your friends . . . you'd be over at my house within a few minutes just to rollerblade around this town like we owned the whole frickin city - no purpose needed, we'd just go . . . remember the time when we were rollerblading in Hessville, three hours had passed and still we didn't stop,even after we could feel the burning sensation in our legs spreading to our backs, then the time came for a smoke break and an alley of our choice, not an ounce of speech or need to use our tongues, just the sound of our skates as we patroled the night, just one look at me and i already knew, we started to pick up the pace, thoughts of smoking were few . . . neck and neck we both shot each other a victorious smile as the race continued on, the sounds of wheels smoothed by the concrete was the only thing breaking the silence until our laughter couldn't hold on, more than halfway down this alley, we must have been traveling fast cause when i rode straight into a pile of sand, i wanted to kick my own ass, I landed on my knee and blood started to drip, with my leg shaking, Liz couldn't help, but laugh, she said i was a twirling through the air right before i hit, that picture in my mind made me laugh, with my newest injury, we decided to finally smoke, some alley in some little town, with the two of us ready to smoke . . . and not one single lighter around!I guess it's just the luck of a couple clowns

Dearest Liz, You were my son's true love and always will be in his heart and ours. In my heart you were my daughter too and I miss you so very much everyday. I love you Liz with all my heart. Darwin will never be the same without you. Thank you for loving him and making him truly happy. You came into our lives, like a bright & shining light and you filled our home with fun & laughter. You gave us your unconditional love, you were God's gift to us, especially to Darwin. We are all truly "broken" Broken in heart, crushed in spirit, because we all desperately wish we could have you back and hold you in our arms once again. Every time I said I love you, you said "I love you too" and I can still hear you and feel you in my heart. Liz you are and forever will be " The Precious Angel of Our Hearts" Love you Liz forever & ever. May God comfort all the hearts which were blessed and fortunate enough to have known you & loved you. We love you still and always will. With All Our Love, Sherry, Serenity, "Darwin", Sarah & Richie, Lil Larry & Lil Leah P.S. Larry & Leah say they still love & miss "Auntie Liz" Love & Kisses xoxox

Liz & family, I am really sorry for the loss of Liz. This pain hurts and it will never go away because she is loved by many people, including myself. I will always remember her and always keep her in my heart. I have a good memory that i would like to share. When i had just got my knew kitten, my friend and I took him down to her house, when we came out we saw Liz and we wanted to show her (at the time i didn't know she loved kitties) and she took him in her arms and she was really happy, had a beautiful smile i will never forget. When i was looking at the photoalbum on the site, i noticed her and 'maryjane'...which looks just like my kitty, Midnite, so im sure it reminded of her kitty! I just want to say I am so pleased i got to know Liz, and i wish i knew her better and longer. I will miss you Liz.

From the bottom of my soul, I am hurt by your loss, she was obviously something, huh. I feel your pain. I lost my grandfather to a drunk driving accident. Remember to always look up and keep going, because if you dwell, you're heart won't mend. Your poem on your site touched me in ways beyond expression. I pray for you and your family, and of course, for your lovely sister, who is definately in a better place.



Peace and love,

I did not know this obvious beautiful girl nor do I know her family. I read about this tragedy that Mary posted on the Seether website. I was brought to tears and want to send my deepest sympathy to the Chapa family as well as Liz's friends. My prayers are with you all.

I just discovered all of the entries left on this guestbook. I am very comforted to know that so many people cared about my sister. Yet at the same time it hurts deeply to know that she could have touched so many more people had she not been so cruelly ripped away from our family. Thank you on behalf of my family for all of your entries. Please visit our website In Loving Memory: www.geocities.com/monpetite/
