2
Nunca te olvidaremos Vic! We miss you so much.
2
You are loved by many.
2
Vic, we miss your smile the way you would laugh. It’s a feeling no one could ever explain.
2
Time doesn’t heal a broken heart. It Only teaches you how to deal with the pain.
2
You were taken from us way too soon.
2
I’m thinking of you even when people see me smiling.
2
Sometimes I just want to sleep hoping you will show up in my dreams.
2
Vic, I miss you so much.
3
When I look at your beautiful face it saddens me to know we will never grow old together.
2
It always helps to cry alone because no one really understand how deeply hurt you truly are.
2
It hurts me more to be happy because I know you’re not here to share these moments
2
That moment you’re just sitting down and tears start to roll down your face.
2
Can’t help to question why it was you.
2
It’s been three months Vic and I still can’t believe it.
2
Thank you for being such a beautiful person inside and out.
2
I wish that I could love you back to life a.a.giannone
2
It shouldn’t have been you.
2
You’re in my mind at all times. We miss you so much.
2
you were my most reliable friend. I love you always.
2
I don’t think I will ever understand why you were taken from us.
2
I love and miss you Vic.
2
I am missing you every day tio love you 😍
2
If I could only get a reply from you. I miss you so much!
2
So much left undone. So many heart’s broken 🙁💙
2
I love to see a beautiful sunrise and sunset because I know how much you enjoyed watching them.
2
I miss you so much. These memories aren’t enough for me. I wish we could have shared so many more.
2
Vic, I miss you so much!
2
Who couldever decide we are capable of this pain
2
I miss you every day
3
It’s painful to have a good time life isn’t fair.
2
I love you so and I miss you so much I will never forget you
2
Vic, please visit once in a while. I would love to see you in my dreams.
2
I miss you so much! I wish you were still here with us! It still hurts :(
2
Every time she looks at your picture she smiles and kisses you. 💙
2
Somethings are just unexplainable. We are left with no real reason.
2
It still feels so unreal that you're gone. I miss you so much every day.
2
Vic, will we ever find the person who took you from us.
2
Every day this individual gets to enjoy life after taking your life from us.
2
hatred is a valid emotion
2
It’s so hard to see your picture on a Dia de los Muertos altar. It Shouldn’t have been you.
2
We miss you so much!
2
Missing you every day Vic. 🎃🍂
2
Five months today Vic. Doesn’t feel real, I wish this wasn’t real.
2
I hope you receive all the kisses she gives you every day.
2
Why are the good ones always take first.
2
Miss you so much ❤️😘
2
Stay shining Vic, from wherever you are.✨❤️
2
Always thinking of you. 💙
2
We love you Vic!
2
I imagine conversation with you and trick my mind to thinking you're still here...then reality hits.
2
Green Bay played a good game today. They almost took the win.
2
I wish you were here Vic.
2
I take everything as a sign of your presence. 💙
2
Happy thanksgiving Vic. 🤎🧡
5
We miss you so much.
2
Sometimes it feels like horrible nightmare. I feel you’re going to call, text, or just come by.
2
It’s still so surreal, I don’t want to accept it. Why did it have to happen to you.
2
There will never be justice.
2
We will only be helping the person who has caused so much pain become a better person within them.
2
Only those who do harm to others get a second chance in life
2
Miss you and love you so much😘😍
2
You will always be in my heart tio love you 😍 😘❤️
2
Your life will alway matter Vic. 💙
2
The world is injustice, humans are injustice the system has no justice.
2
Víctor Manuel Cazares Jr. 🤍💫
2
I’m still waiting for your visit. 💙
2
I miss you everyday Vic.
2
I wish I could see what your eyes saw that day.
2
Good night love you 😘
2
I wake up every morning hoping it’s a horrible nightmare.
2
What happened to you wasn’t fair.
2
We shouldn’t be turning on a candle for you Vic. We should be out buying you a gift.
2
So unfair how the person that did this to you is out creating memories with his or her family.
2
Merry Christmas Vic! We love you and miss you deeply.
2
I love you so much. your friendship meant more than you'll know.
2
Thanks Vic, I love all the signs you send.
2
Right now I would have been texting or calling you to be careful driving home.
2
Today Chicago is having its first real snow day.
2
You would have been stuck in traffic annoyed at all the bad drivers lol
2
, but chilling listening to your music and making the best of it.
2
Sometimes I find myself staring at your picture
2
Wondering if this truly did happen and why you? Why does this happen to great people.
2
Missing you everyday
3
“Maldito ańo nuevo” best past of the song. I think you would concur with me Vic
2
This year has been a horrible year. It’s sad we have to share grief with so many people.
2
Every New Year I would eat my 12 grapes and ask to keep everyone safe and healthy.
2
Happy New Year tío it doesn’t feel the same but I know you are still here with us
2
This year I will ask for the same, but I will also wish and hope to find the person responsible
2
for taking you from us. We miss you immensely Vic.
2
7 months today. So hard to believe it.
1
Still can't believe this is not just a horrible dream
2
Touchdown Packers!!! I could see your ass yelling and clapping of excitement.
2
Touchdown Packers!!! 🙌🏽
2
Touchdown packers!
2
You must be laughing your ass off...touchdown Packers!
2
I love you. thank you for coming to me in my dreams.
2
Vic, let me be your eyes. Please show me who and what you saw that day.
2
I will always remember you Vic. I love you and I miss you.
2
A silent cry is a painful loneliness. You want to yell and show everyone how much it hurts,
2
but you know they can’t truly understand.
1
Sometimes I wonder who actually hears our prayers.
2
Conversation on religion are always interesting.
2
I would love to see your excitement right now.
2
Touchdown Packers! 🙌🏽
2
I wish I could have given you one last hug. I miss you so much.
2
Your presence is much needed. ✨
2
smiling through the pain sometimes hurts a little more.
2
most days im in denial. I miss you so much. miss our talks and you hyping me up :( love u vic
2
wish u didnt go out that day. how can I turn back time? we needed you here. te queremos 😢
2
Always missing you Vic....Touchdown Packers!!
2
This was for you Vic. I love you! ❤️
2
I’m always thinking about you. I hope you know that.
2
I don’t expect people to understand, because they never truly will.
2
I hope you can hear my thoughts, because you are always in them. 💙
1
I miss you very much, and every night I hope I see you in my dreams.
3
I love you. this still doesn't feel real. I just want to see you again.
2
8 months, I can’t believe it. You are missed every day.
2
Every month is just as painful as the day your life was stolen from you.
3
Thank you for adding more pictures.
2
You're welcome. If you would like to add some, please email them to us at info@gunmemorial.org
2
You are so special to us. We miss you very much.
2
I miss you so much.
3
Still can't believe you're gone.
2
Vic, please guide us to the right person.
2
Vic send me some strength please.
2
thank you for the hello on my birthday. I love you.
2
Everything will be incomplete with out you here.
2
My heart has never truly felt physical pain until we lost you.
3
happy valentine's day. I wish I could see you one last time.
2
Happy Valentine’s Day! We love you and miss you every day. 🥀❣️
2
There is not a day I don’t think about you. I wish you were here.
2
Smiling through the pain can be mentally challenging.
2
We miss you dearly. ❤️
2
Thank you! ❤️✨
2
Everything is so different without you. Life will never be the same.
2
I'm so devastated to find out how they treated you.
2
I wish this was all a horrible dream.
2
you are loved beyond words.
2
9 months ago today someone selfishly took you from us.
2
"There are some who bring a light so great to the world
2
that even after they have gone, the light remains."- unknown
2
You will forever be that light. ✨
2
I love you so so much.
2
I wish I could give you a huge hug and tell you how much we all love.
6
As it gets closer to your birthday it gets more devastating. I miss you so much.
2
happy birthday. I can't believe I'm posting this here instead of in person. I love you.
2
Happy Birthday Vic! Life will never be the same.
2
We miss you so much and we will never be able to physically hug you and tell you
1
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKY BEAR! I wish you were here 😞
2
Wherever you are in this universe, I hope you can feel our love for you.
2
Happy Heavenly Birthday love! Wish you were here to tell you and give you a big hug. Love you!
2
Why did they take your beautiful life from us. You still had so much more to give to us.
2
People like you is what we need in this world you brought so much happiness to so many.
2
♥️✨
2
Every day when I look at your picture I still can’t believe this happened to you.
2
I wish we had the power to heal innocent people.
2
To help them stay alive without putting their life in someone else’s hands to decide.
2
I miss you, handsome.
2
Love you so much Tio
3
Love you Vic!
2
We miss you so much Vic.
2
It’s been way too long without you. We miss you every day.
2
Looking at old messages from you. I miss you so much!
2
I love you Vic! ❤️
2
For a second just a second it felt like this was just a horrible dream.
2
But then I realize, this horrible nightmare actually did happen and you really are not here with us.
3
Life will never be the same without you.
2
One wish that will never come true is having you physically with us again.
3
I love you Vic!
2
When will this end.
2
I miss you so much. I've never hurt so badly.
2
Nunca te olvidaremos.
2
This is a scary world. So many senseless murders. 😔
2
“IF ONLY” something we can’t help to think.
2
If only Derek Chauvin would have walked away after putting Gorge Floyd in handcuffs.
2
If only George Floyd would have pain with real money.
2
If only George Floyd would have survived.
2
If only people wouldn’t have taken advantage of a peaceful protest.
2
If only Mayor Lori Lightfoot wouldn’t have lifted the bridges.
2
If only people would fight with their fists and not guns.
2
If only they would have blocked 14th St. instead of leaving it open.
2
I know how upset you were for the unnecessary killing of George Floyd.
3
vic, its so hard to not let my heart become bitter. I want to be happy, I just cant :(
2
❣️✨
3
Miss you so much Tio love you ❤️💙🤍
2
We miss you dearly.
2
Nobody really knows the deep sadness I carry with me cause you're gone.
2
Miss you, wish you were here 💜
2
I still can’t believe this happened.
1
I find myself questioning my mind all the time, In complete denial.
1
I feel that at any moment you’re going to walk right through the door.
1
I love you and miss you so much.
2
though I've never met her I pray from your mom on mother's day and every day.
2
Special days like today become a little more difficult to celebrate.
2
Many times we wear a smile, but our heart still weeps inside.
2
We will never become accustom to only having your picture to hold on to.
3
We just hope you can hear our call to you and that somehow you receive our hugs and kisses.
2
God I miss you so much today
4
I miss staring at your face and feeling so proud of the man you have become.
2
Very independent at such a young age you were a risk taker and excepted challenges.
2
It wasn’t easy for you, but you never gave up and most of the time learned from your mistakes.
2
Selfless, giving, loving, a wonderful friend to all.
2
Happy moments bring sadness to our heart because you are not here to share them with us.
2
As she kisses your picture goodnight tears roll down her face.
2
You never hear her cry, but her heart is yelling inside.
4
Why did it have to be you.
5
I can't believe it's almost been a year without you. My heart hurts so bad.
3
If only I could rewind time and have you be out of town. So many scenarios in my head.
3
one year. I never knew my heart could hurt so much. I love you.
2
Your presence is much needed. Life will never be the same without you.
3
Every sunset and sunrise reminds me of your beautiful face. 💙🌅
3
Vic, please help us find the person responsible.
3
Let me be your eyes. We need to find the person responsible.
3
It will never bring you back, but why should they live their life freely.
2
Always thinking of you. 💫
3
Today was one of those days. Like MY VIC? No. It couldn’t have been him.
3
Miss you so much. I feel like I’ll see you here on earth. Knowing I won’t, shatters me to pieces
3
Miss your dancing. Your laughing. Your optimism. Your resilience. Un corazón bien chingon❤️
3
It doesn’t matter where I’m at; I’m always thinking of you.
3
“Las piedras rodando se encuentran”🎤🎼
2
Why should the actions of one person determine your destiny.
2
Wish you were here.
2
People can say many things, but unless you have lost a
2
loved one you’ll never know the meaning of silent pain.
2
I love and miss you so much.
2
How did this all happen? I still have such a hard time understanding.
2
I won’t forget you Tio miss you so much 💙❤️
2
I go to sleep hoping that when I wake up this was all just a nightmare.
3
I'll always love you. I miss you so much today.
2
Oh Vic, how we all miss you so much.
2
People can be so careless with their words. They have no idea the pain we carry within our heart.
2
Even though we are not shedding visible tears our heart will never stop crying.
2
How could this have happened to you. Why did it happen to you? I will always question it.
2
Even though you didn’t have a uniform on you were out there protecting your community.
2
Your life is just as valuable as everyone. You went out that day to protect your community.
3
It’s heartbreaking, so many families are hurting because innocent lives are taken from us.
2
Can’t help it, it hurts so bad to watch others celebrate their life
2
while your life was brutally taken from us.
2
Happiness will always be accompanied with sadness because you are not here to share the moment.
2
They keep sending great innocent people your way.
2
It makes me angry to see people hurt.
2
It’s heartbreaking, disappointing, nonsense, a feeling of numbness.
2
This is not ok. It needs to stop.
2
I hope you know how much we love and miss you.
2
I’m told not to be so harsh with my words I may sound cruel.
2
But do they feel the pain we have to endure every day.
3
I never want this pain to go away, because I never want to find comfort in not having you here.
2
I'm missing you so much today. you were such an amazing friend. my heart hurts.
2
I’m not always happy when I’m smiling it’s just a way to hide my tears from others.
2
Thanks Vic! ❤️
2
I’ve learn to cry in silence, some people are too selfish to understand the pain.
2
Your life was taken way too soon from us. We still had so many memories to create.
2
I don’t like talking about you being gone. I just can’t accept it.
2
It doesn't get easier.
2
I literally just thought I saw you. For a brief second I thought I woke up from this nightmare.
2
Football is back and you are not here to talk shit to the Bears fans.
3
thank you for coming in my dream. I miss you more than words can say
2
We will never get to see you grow old.
2
Packers win!!
4
I miss you so much. this still doesn't feel real.
3
I need you. I miss you so much.
2
I will never stop thinking about you.
2
days like today it doesn't feel real
2
I can't bring myself to put up an ofrenda with you on it
3
life without you is so hard
6
I miss you. words cannot express how much I miss you
3
We miss you so much. I will love you forever
1
When it suddenly hits me that you are truly gone I can't breathe
3
Can’t celebrate thanksgiving the same anymore. Forever thankful for u and our friendship 💙
3
We miss you!
3
You brought so much positive energy and happiness to people.
3
Not a day goes by without me thinking of you.
3
I wish I could have asked you so many more questions.
2
I can't stop crying. still in disbelief. God I miss you.
2
My smile hides a lot of pain, since the day you were taken away.
2
I know you will always be with us. But it hurts not having you physically here.
3
Merry Christmas Vic. We love and miss you. Still in disbelief 💔 TQM
2
Merry Christmas Vic! We love you and miss you so much. ❤️
2
Merry Christmas. I miss you so much. love you.

1
Another year without you. We miss you so much! ✨❣️
1
We love you!!
2
Happy New Years Tio
2
happy new year my sweet friend. I miss you more than words can say.
3
life is so hard without you. you brought more joy into my life than you will know.
3
Just about everything makes me think about you.
3
from foods, songs, phrases, sports, sounds.
3
It’s heartbreaking having to adjust to life without you physically here.
3
I miss you so much. I don't know how to do life without you.
2
If only I could have done things differently.
2
Send her strength Vic. Her pain is felt, but it reminds silent.
2
Thank you for always sending me little signs that you are with me. ♥️
2
Hi Vic, I just wanted to let you know how much we miss you.
2
Miss you so much Vic
2
You’re kindness, loyalty, positive energy will never be forgotten.
2
We miss you❤️
2
I feel so angry at times not having you around.
2
Please put the guns down. Too many innocent people are robbed from their life.
2
Your presence is definitely missed. 💐
2
I'm always thinking of you.
2
I can’t imagine the pain a mother has to live with when loosing her son or daughter.
3
I hate the coward who did this to you. I will never find it in my heart to forgive him.
3
I need your positive attitude right now.
2
♥️🖤 we need peace in this world.
2
happy birthday my sweet friend. I miss you beyond words.
2
Happy Birthday,
2
Happy Birthday. We miss you so much. I wish we could have you physically here.
2
♥️✨💫
2
Vic, I know that was you. Thank you! ♥️
2
Can’t wait to hug you in my dreams. Always hoping to see you.
2
Always thinking of you. 🤍
2
I wish I would have done more.
2
I wish I could have been like you, always so positive.
2
Una vida que jamas va hacer remplazada
2
Love you Vic! ♥️✨
3
April is National Donate life Month. At your young age you had unselfishly made that decision.
2
Like always, you were willing to help out others.
3
I miss you so much. I hate the 1st of each month. how has it almost been 2 years?
2
I wish that day never happened. 💔
2
You are always present in my mind. ♥️
2
We need changes. 💔
2
The clouds begin to weep for you. 💔🥺
2
I can't believe it's been 2 years. I miss you more than ever.
2
Thank you for a beautiful day yesterday. Hope you can see how much we miss and love you.
2
Vic, I hope you know I’m alway thinking
2
of you.
2
Your presence is definitely missed. 💔
2
Such a beautiful person.
2
Miss you lots!
2
I need more pictures and videos of you. What I have isn’t enough. 🙁💔
2
I didn’t take advantage of your presence enough.
2
There is NO Liberty there is NO Justice.
2
Freedom has never been feared this much and justice is just a small punishment.
2
I always think to myself why was it you 🙁
2
Way too many families are living this immense pain.
2
Miss you very much.
2
Te extrañamos un chingo. ♥️💔
2
I’m sorry for every moment I took for granted.
2
Wish you were still here.
1
When you’re in pain you study the selfish actions of those who don’t care.
2
Many always think their pain is more important, so you just listen no need to compare.
3
God I miss you. I need a hug and your smile
4
Miss you very much!
3
I miss you Vic 💔
3
I miss you beyond words
3
Hate that you're not here with us anymore.
2
Miss you
2
I'm always thinking of you
2
The amount of strength it takes to hide the pain is unexplainable.
2
Some people say things without processing how hurtful it can be.
2
I’m very thankful for having you in my life.
2
We miss you so much. 🧡
3
No matter how much time goes by, it still doesn't feel real.
2
This WIN was for you Vic! I love to see the bear fans stay quiet.
2
Still wish this was all just a bad dream
3
I hear your name constantly, I hope you know you are present every day in my heart and thoughts.
3
I miss you so much, love. I just want one more hug
3
You still had so much more to live.
3
Feliz Navidad! Te queremos mucho.
2
happy new year. I miss you so much.
2
You're always on my mind. Miss you!
2
I love you Vic! ♥️
2
I think about you every day. ♥️
2
Thanks for still being that energy that pushes me forward!
2
It doesn't get easier. Miss you so much.
2
I wonder how many new countries you would have visited by now
2
Always thinking of you
2
