As of right now mom is now at Hospice care and things are not good. I just wish that his was all a dream and that I would wake up soon. I am so glad that I have the family that I have, everyone has been so good at understanding moms last wishes. We have been taking turns staying with mom that last couple of day and I know its been tough on all of us but thank you everyone. Mom you have always been there for everyone and now everyone is therefor you. I see Tex everyday and thank god for giving my mom a good strong angel to look over her and her children. Tex you are a wonderful and loving man and I thank you so much for taking such great care of my mom and my sisters, I just wish that I could change all of this so that you could still have mom here with you, but I know she knows you will do a great job keeping things together. Like I told you before I just wish you would have made a move many years ago......
Oscar, Henry, I dont know if you remember me but my dad is Rick Ortega who work with your dad for years. Your father and mother baptized me as a child. We spent some time together as a child and as a teenager but as life moved fast, we lost contact. I would love to keep in contact from now on. I was sadden to hear about mom. I just wish I could be there for you two and the family (I live in KY). I have no idea what you are going through but know that I will always have you and the family in my prayers for moms fast recovery. God will never give us what we cant handle. Be strong as she needs you to be. My family and I send our love and prayers to you and yours. Please contact me anytime if you can with any update. email rortega@npc.net phone 502 510 3113. God Bless everyone who loves and cares for Delia.

Tia, I meant to write this to you as soon as I got home Monday night but my computer was giving me issues and I apologize for not being able to write you. Here is goes..
(On the plane up in the air)
Tia:
After a nice weekend spent at home coming to see you resting in your bed peacefully, I am now back in Denver back to my busy self.
What I wanted to tell you though, is, as the airplane from Houston was gliding off the runway and rising into the air that day, the SKY was looking so beautiful and I could just picture your smiling face as I last remember seeing before you went to sleep. You should have seen all the COLORS Tia and the way the CLOUDS looked and how the SKY just went on and on as far as the eye could see; you would have LOVED it! Tia, the CLOUDS looked like this BIG white blanket that just made you want to FALL back in to and make a SNOW ANGEL.
Tia, despite the way some of the family was acting (and you know who they were) that day while I was by your bed side holding your hand (and I know you could see me dressed up in my uniform), I know that you know my MOTHER who LOVES YOU very much would never think of acting like that and I apologize for getting UPSET like I did in front of you like that but I just do not like to see family act like that in front of me at a time like this; I apologize Tia.
Tia, as I conclude my thoughts for you, I just want you to know that you ALWAYS and FOREVER will be in my THOUGHTS along with the MEMORIES that LAST FOREVER....
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
Love Always,
Your Nephew in the United Stated Air Force
