THE UNDEFENDED VICTIM - Happy Birthday my son. / Ruth Marin-Eason (Mother)
THE UNDEFENDED VICTIM
For me, no gavel hammers The scales were never weighted. My crime was that of a victim, My life was the price I paid. And when my life was taken, Why weren't my rights read? And the statement, "overruled" When they pronounced me dead? I'll never hear my rights Nor take the witness stand, No attorney to defend me, My fate was in a KILLER'S hand. Now the courtroom's crowded, As the defendant pleads the case. With just the glimmer of a tear, Cold eyes on a straight face. But oh, that I could take the stand, If they could witness my last breath, Could they live with the terror, That I went through in death. If they could hear my pleading cries, And see the hatred in that face, At least we'd know the scales had "Been Balanced" in this case. If I could, I'd tell the jury Exactly how it was, The fear and pain that I went through, Struck down without a cause. Did the jury carefully weigh it all As they listened to the plea? There were no emotions showing now, Just the hope of going free. The final verdict now is in As the defendant stands in tears, If only I had done as well... Given ten to twenty years.

His wife Dianna Boatman Marin only served 7 years 10 months and is free on legal technicality, not innocents! The San Antonio DA could retried the case. One thing for sure she still has to face the real Judge GOD.
WHEN THE FOG HAS LIFTED / Ruth Marin-Eason (Raul's Mom ) When the Fog Has Lifted
There are burdens we must carry And sorrows we must bear, And sometimes we're disappointed By answers to our prayers.
There are times our faith is tested And doubts and fears creep in, But testing makes one stronger Where there's a will to win.
When we pray that God will heal us, Sometimes the answer's "No." And it's hard to understand Why we must suffer so.
Sometimes sorrows beget blessings In ways we do not know; When we truly learn to trust Him And faith begins to grow.
Sometimes we fail to recognize God's footprints in the sand In the times that He carried us And we didn't understand.
We should never be discouraged By burdens we must bear For when the fog has lifted, We see Him standing there! Author: Clay Harrison

You can’t keep it in forever. So let those tears fall. Cry your heart out. Scream out the pain. Let all of your emotions drain. Cry till you can’t cry no more. Until there are no more tears left in your body. Missing our loved ones is painful and only a Mom Can share this with another Mom
Sometimes our family breaks and you don’t understand Why in a time you need support not all your kids are there for you Some families are Bless they join together and yet others we Lose not only the child that was taken from us but also other family members And the pain doubles with WHY! WHY ME! Our love is always for all our Children but some don’t understand. Any one day they will.
Miss You! / Rhoda Wallace (Sister)
The sheep that are My own hear and listen to My voice, and I know them, they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never loose it or perish throughout the ages. And no one is able to snatch them out of My had. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the father’s hand. I and the Father are one. John 10:27-30

A Memorial Day Tribute to My Son, Raul A. Marin II
No words could ever describe the emptiness that has been in my heart since the murder of my son! Many thoughts flood my mind about the precious moments we had together, but I would rather have him being alive and well, here with me, than just being alive in my heart! Raul was the center of my world, my only boy my little Roy the joy he brought to my life was extraordinary! Remembering his beautiful eyes shining back at me, and the sweetness that was displayed in his smile, was the ultimate example of heavenly love! I miss hearing the wonderful laughter flowing from his mouth, and the incredible words of cheerfulness that fell from his lips! Raul loved to get you upset so he could smile and try to dance with you and make you laugh. Raul was the perfect gift that God created just for me the answer to our prayer after my 2nd child had left to be with our Lord. Raul was my third child. The Lord blessed me with 4 children Rhonda first born, Raul Jr, Raul II and my baby girl Rhoda.
There is nothing that could ever fill this void in my life and heart! These past ten years has been very difficult without my only son being in my life. Each passing day is a constant struggle to let my life move forward, because stopping time would be so much easier, than to face another day without him! My heart longs for the day, when I will see my son Raul II, once again! Being able to hold him in my arms, kiss his loving face, and tell him the most important words I Love You! Though Raul's life on earth was short; I will always remember him as the amazing person and son that he was! God gave me four wonderful kids and Raul was with us for twenty-nine years God has given me the most treasured gift of all; He gave me two daughters and he gave me Raul not once but twice I love them very much!!
The justice we thought was fair and we trusted fail once again a mistake that gave the opportunity to the person that plan Raul's murder to walk out of prison feeling free with no guilt or remorse, all I can say is Dianna Boatman Marin you might think you got away with my sons murder but you have to answer the real Judge {GOD} and he doesn't make mistakes He knows all you do and all your plans. And all I would want to say to you is to remember the number 50 and the number 7 the fifty blows that your lover gave Raul on the back of the head and the seven stab wounds that took my son's life. You Dianna and Arnulfo should remember that till the day that you both die. You made the choice to have Raul murdered instead of divorce well enjoy the blood money that you wanted hope it makes you happy. Just remember what goes around comes around and pay back is hell so it would have been better to pay for your sins here on earth then burn in hell for eternity.

ASK MY MOM HOW SHE IS? / Ruth M. Eason (Raul's Mom )
Ask my Mom how she is My Mom, she tells a lot of lies, She never did before, But from now until she dies,she'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is, And because she can't explain, She will tell a little lie because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is, she'll say "I'am alright" If that's the truth, then tell me why does she cry each nite?
Ask my Mom how she is She seems to cope so well, She didn't have a choice you see, Nor the strength to yell
Ask my Mom how she is , "I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping" For God's sake Mom, just tell the truth Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life I loved her all of mine. But if you ask her how she is, She'll lie and say she's fine
I am here in heaven I cannot hug from here. If she lies to you don't listen Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again, We'll smile and I'll be bold I'll say, You're lucky to get in here Mom with all the lies you told.' Close
But A Moment / Ruth M. Eason (Raul's Mom ) But A Moment You'll always be my child I think of you each day. Even though you must remain so far away. The love of a Mother and child so strong. But you had to go away, up through heaven's gate. You'll never have to suffer or feel pain or hate just peace and love and happiness. God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care; And When my days are over in a flash I will be there. Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part. You'll be right by my side And not just in my Heart. I think I understand just how I should feel... "Mom I am Fine!" this must be what you would say.
"Please don't be so sad we'll meet again one day; I'm with God above so don't cry for me Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity." Author unknown Close

Letter In Memory of Raul Marin II / Ruth Marin-Eason (Raul's Mom )
Letter In Memory of Raul A. Marin II
I loved my family very much God blessed me with 4 children. Raul was my 3rd child My first born is Rhonda second I had a boy name Raul Jr. he lived 8 month 27 days and died of crib death. I was very blessed when Little Roy was born 9 months later, a prayer answered, his sister Rhonda wanted to name him Raul so he was name Raul II and was always called Little Roy, Raul II was 7 years old when my fourth child was born her name is Rhoda. I love all my children we had a good life and a good family till one day in August 1998 when our lives change forever.
[LIFE] How do you put a price on something so precious? How do you put an earthly value on something that has a heavenly value from our most gracious Father? You cannot. It isn’t possible to explain or put into words what Raul meant to me, to his family, to his friends and co-workers.
How can I cope with the fact that I will never ever see the biggest smile that God ever made, I will never again on this earth hear his roaring laugh, and his quick wit, and his compassionate heart will never extend itself again? His love and devotion to his family, his friends, his job and other special people in his life will never be embraced again. He will never have the joy of being self sufficient financially, although he was on his way. He will never hold his boys in his arms and tell then “Daddy loves you.” He will never be there to say “Happy Mother’s Day Mom” or “Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas” {Mom, Sisters or Ram, Malachi Isaiah or Samuel.} He will never make us laugh again. He will never make me smile the way only (Little Roy) Raul could. He will never pray for me again, and gives me encouragement and scripture when I’m in the midst of a storm. He will never be on the other end of the phone when I want to call. He will never have a cook out like the one we had May 30, 1998, 3 months before he was murdered. He will never hug or hold me again. He will never be so excited jumping up and down and praising God for something he has been so fervently praying for. He will never again, say “I love you Mom.” He will never see his four handsome sons, nieces and nephews grow up. He will never again, be on this earth as Raul A. Marin II or Little Roy like we knew him.
No matter what he physically or emotionally or financially contributed to society, he was a very important and meaningful and loved son; father, brother, grandson, friend, and more to many, many people. And that should be enough. He did many things for many people that “society” could say, “Oh, now your life is of value”. But as a living human being, and one that was loved by me and his family, and most of all by God that in itself, gives him value. His family and I grieved, we have cried, we have felt empty, we have felt lost at times, and many hours spend in pain. We have suffered one of the greatest losses of our lives. The military lost a great worker and will be missed by many co-workers. The world has lost someone so valuable and so precious and so rare, and they will never even get a chance to know it. That in itself is the greatest loss. The things that were yet to come; the people who would have met him, and been loved by him, love him, and be touched by his life, and humor and his testimony, there are many people who have missed out, and will never know.
I was privileged and honored to give birth & know Raul A. Marin II and I will forever have a small missing piece of myself that was him. Every human life has VALUE, and I feel that to try to measure a person’s value is just impossible.
But I know this, if I just had to do it, had to put a price on his (Raul’s) life, I know that it is a love and not a luxury I could never have afforded. And for you (Dianna Boatman Marin) to have him killed for Insurance Money is something I will never understand your four years of planning to have him (Raul) Murdered for Insurance money and then giving my grandkids to your mother (Le Delle Bates) just to secure the blood money is a sin you must pay for the 12 years is not enough you still have to answer to God and so does your family [poisoning the boys mind that it’s my fault you’re in prison] You and only you made the choice to have your husband of 10 years MURDERED divorce was an option, now you are serving 12 years of your life and the boys will be grown when you get out just think of the LIFE sentence you gave me and the boys without their Dad and your guilt got you in prison not me. Dianna Boatman Marin & Le Delle Bates are from Stillwater Oklahoma. Ruth Main-Eason Houston, Texas Close
Lifetime Wish / Ruth Marin-Eason (Raul's Mom )
If I could have a lifetime wish A dream that would come true. I*d pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you. A thousand words can*t bring you back, I know because I have tried. And neither will a million tears I know because I have cried. You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. - author unknown Close
