Second Teen Struck By Van On Life Support At Children's Hospital:
A 13 year old local girl was in critical condition and on life support this morning in a San Diego intensive care unit with brain injuries after she and her friend who was killed were struck by a vehicle Wednesday on HWY 98 here. Diana M Avila of Calexico was listed in very critical conditon in Children's Hospital in San Diego with bleeding in the right temporal lobe of the brain and in the brain stem, Calexico police Sgt Reggie Gomez said. Diana's friend, 13 year old Sheila Flores of Calexico, died about 5:30 am Thursday from injures sustained in the accident. Gomez said an official with the San Diego Medical Examiner's Office told police Sheila likely died from bunt force trauma injuries to her head. However, Gomez said the cause of the death won't be ruled official until an autopsy is completed. Diana and Sheila are thought to have been struck by a van driven by 20 year old Jose Francisco Martinez of San Diego as the girls attempted to cross HWY 98. Gomez said the girls were not in a designated pedestrian crossing area and that the lighting was poor. The accident occured around 8:30 pm. The gilrs who were found lying unconcios in the roadway when Calexica paramedics arrived had to be flown from El Centro Regional Medical Center to Children's Hospital for further treatment.
Update:
A month after Sheila's death Diana M Avila passed away. |
Les Dejo Mis Recuerdos:
Hoy vuelvo a las estrellas…
Debo decir adios, o mejor, hasta luego!
Les dejo mis recuerdos,
las huellas de mi paso,
y mi cariño eterno…
Me llevo la ternura,
el amor que me dieron,
y el privilegio enorme
de continuar flotando sobre las olas tenues
del mar de sus recuerdos…
La vida es un instante en el universo
pero el amor perdura mas alla de los tiempos…
Seguiremos unidos
yo brillare en las luces divinas de los cielos…
Regreso a las estrellas
y desde alla…LOS QUIERO!!!

Tan Pronto Se Nos Fue:
Como un cometa
relumbrante atravesando el cielo
tan pronto se nos fue
Como un arcoiris
desvaneciendose al parparear los ojos
tan pronto se nos fue
Radiante y vivaz
esplendorosa y alegre un dia aqui
una noche se nos fue
Como la luz del sol
perdida entre un nublado atardecer
tan pronto se nos fue
Como un castillo
de arena en la playa
tan pronto se nos fue
Como la flor perfecta
Que no podemos alcansar
tan pronto se nos fue
Ella nacio para inspirar, alegrar, y
delaitarnos los dias
una noche se nos fue
Como muere el crepusculo
al salir la luna
tan pronto se nos fue
Tan pronto se nos fue

Gone Too Soon:
Like a comet
blazing across the evening sky
gone too soon
Like a rainbow
fadin in a twinkling of an eye
gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
and splendidly here one day
gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
on a cloudy afternoon
gone too soon
Like a castle
bulit upon a sandy beach
gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
that is just beyond your reach
gone too soon
She was born to amuse, to inspire,
to delight here one day
gone one night
like a sunset
dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon
Gone too soon

Painfull Days:
December 22, 1999
No one knows where you and Diana are at
Diana's mom goes looking for you girls
She looks everywhere she can think of
But there's no sign of you and Diana
Then, as she's putting gas at AM PM
She witnesses an accident along HWY 98
She goes closer to take a look
And hears what terrified her the most,
"Two young girls were hit by a van"
She tried to get even closer to see who it was
But they wouldn't let her get near
Or give her any information on the girls
Hoping that it hadn't been you and Diana
She went back to your house
To see if you girls had returned
But you girls weren't there yet
And no one had heard from you
Diana's mom let your mom know
About the accident long HWY 98 she said,
"I think it's our girls the ones who were hit"
Your mom then lost all her senses
She started to cry
Despretly they went back
To the scene of the accident
But still they wouldn't tell them anything
About the girls who were hit by the van
The only thing they could do
Was to go to the hospital to identify you
Once they were in the hopital
The nightmare got even worse
It was you girls the one who were hit by the van
You had decided
Not to cross HWY 98 thourgh the cross walk
Instead you would take a short cut
But who would have know
That the short cut would be even shorter
Than what you had imagined?
You were hit by a van
That was going at high speed
There was no chances for you to live
You were flown from El Centro
All the way to San Diego
You were in critical condition
And on life support
December 23, 1999
It had been a tough night
For your family
Especially for you and your parents
Throughout the night
You had to be revived more than 5 times
Then around 5:30 am
You left us
You returned to the stars
You were taken by the man upstairs
To be a little angel
This is not finished yet…I had to take a break from it because it was just so sad for me to write…Someday I'll finish it
