I was good friends with him in high school.  We went to different schools but hung out with the same people outside of school.  He was such a wonderful person and made me laugh so much.  I am in shock and so sad that he is gone.  Thank you for the article you posted.&lt;br&gt;~Deborah</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Deborah</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:41:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: In Memoriam: Andrew Martinez</title><link>http://www.banane.com/2006/05/21/in-memoriam-andrew-martinez/#comment-4733269</link><description>I have come to know Andrew today.  I have a very sad feeling for him in the pit of my stomach because I just feel that he was not crazy.  Instead, I am thinking he was ahead of his time (naked news...ever heard of it?) I find myself thinking how I wish I could have helped by offering him a home when he had none, or by offering to pay his bail when he went to the slammer.  I am saddend that he felt the only way out was to take his precious life.  To his family, I say to you the finest of gods blessings; May your troubles go down with each sunset and may your hopes rise with each new dawn..For Andrew, may you be in a warm and wonderful place, may you be free and may your soul be free, may you feel the rays upon your body..good night my sweet Prince!!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dave in FREMONT</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jul 2007 19:02:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: In Memoriam: Andrew Martinez</title><link>http://www.banane.com/2006/05/21/in-memoriam-andrew-martinez/#comment-4733268</link><description>thank you for the sweet story and sweet picture-momaicuki</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anonymous</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:26:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: In Memoriam: Andrew Martinez</title><link>http://www.banane.com/2006/05/21/in-memoriam-andrew-martinez/#comment-4733267</link><description>Thanks Chester. I have to say, I was more upset by the news than I thought I would be.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">anna</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 May 2006 14:49:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: In Memoriam: Andrew Martinez</title><link>http://www.banane.com/2006/05/21/in-memoriam-andrew-martinez/#comment-4733266</link><description>A really touching post. My first reaction to the news was a sense of sadness that I found kind of surprising and it was nice to read something that gave more context to Andrew.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chester</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 23 May 2006 12:52:00 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
